Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize.
It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.
If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.

If you see firefighters👩🚒👨🚒wearing masks— there is a reason—they work. Wearing a well-fitting, high-quality mask like N95, P100 or better, can protect you from wildfire smoke and respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19 and RSV. ➡️I also recommend a HEPA filter for your home & car.

Absolutely.
If the 🇨🇦 Liberals were smart, they would table a bill making top secret security clearance mandatory for the leader of the opposition and all members of shadow cabinet.
Want to be contenders for leadership? Show that you’re serious and get clearance.
Security is not optional.

3. Failure to secure clearance is valuable information that the Canadian electorate needs in 2025 when it votes.

I wish people would understand that the threat of Covid is so significant that the choice isn’t “wear a mask or don’t wear a mask”
It’s “wear a mask or risk your long term health & health of everyone else”.
