The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!
COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.
Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

My quote of the day
We have managed to unite a country tearing down the barriers the regime built to divide us. Ours is a fight of a nation united against a criminal tyranny, in defense of its human rights, freedom, and democracy. That is why we have no alternative but victory

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.
There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Also the US seems to see a covid uptick
Interestingly enough, this does not reflection on deaths
The reason is certainly, in part, under-ascertainment of covid deaths
This must be assumed now, not only in the US but everywhere, just as flu has been for decades

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.
Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

Fact check:
mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

A lot of the damage C19 does mimics ageing… through various stress mechanisms.
Finding a “cure” to long COVID may involve both finding a decent antiviral… and reversing components of stress processes/ageing… which is both cool, and challenging.
