Very common question I get: “why does 72 air feel comfortable but 72 water feels cold.”

Working on a new answer that’s something like “a box of water a meter on each side of can soak up as much heat as a box of air thats a meter deep, a meter wide…and 3.5 km tall. You wanna talk about why?”

With millions of people’s voting rights on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This is the type of bravery and fight we need from Democrats:

RFK Jr. just terminated 22 mRNA vaccine development contracts worth nearly $500 million, including projects for H5N1 bird flu vaccines. It has infected over 138 million birds across all 50 states and includes dolphins, polar bears and mammals with scientists fearing it could trigger another pandemic

RFK Jr. announced "that $500 million worth of vaccine development projects, all using mRNA technology, will be halted."

In his statement, RFK Jr. said "we're moving beyond the limitations of mRNA and investing in better solutions."

Antivaxxers continue to despise and lie about mRNA tech.

mRNA vaccines are so close to magic as to be basically indistinguishable, and the administration is stopping them because they worship death.

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants.

Hey congrats to everyone who took the soft anti-vaccine stance of “mRNA vaccines aren’t 100% effective and aren’t useful against future variants so the mRNA vaccines aren’t good, we need to mask forever”, your stance has been noted by RFK Jr. to kill mRNA technology in America.

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.
