Have a child in school or one about to start? Illnesses like measles and whooping cough can be serious. Vaccinating your child can help protect them.

Look in your child’s red book or check if their vaccinations are up to date with your GP practice 📆 👇

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed this week near aid distribution sites in the Gaza Strip, according to the territory’s health ministry. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have repeatedly used lethal force against hungry and desperate Palestinian civilians.

En 2042 MEX no podrá financiar la atención a la salud al nivel -paupérrimo- de hoy. Para el 2010 estamos frítos. Urgen tres cosas:
1. Reformar la recaudación
2. Eficientar el gasto
3. Población saludable

In a couple of days judges (incl. Supreme Court ) in 🇲🇽 are to be defined by popular vote, instead of the previous professional public servant career pathway.

This is a recipe for state capture by: organized crime, political parties, and the industry.
An analysis by the Judicial Electoral Observatory flagged more than 130 candidates may win in the absence of opposition, and criticized problems in the design of ballots that may confuse voters reut.rs/43aVvJS

Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation.

Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.

This is great marketing (effect is evident in the 1st month), not particularly great for financial sustainability (weight maintenance depends on continuous use)

It is "normoweight" subscription

Who should pay and why? Should they pay?
