This poster's young child has flu. Huge bummer.

But also grateful they got the flu vax this year. Don't need to worry about risks of flu complications or ending up in the hospital.

Flu vaccines save lives.
Flu shot: not perfect but a hell of a lot better than the ICU. 💉

Vax efficacy depends on flu strain circulating.
’24-25 flu season - especially severe. Luckily 💉was 56% effective against getting flu.

🚨 W/ the vax, even when flu hits, it hits softer🚨
(i.e. less likely to be hospitalized/in ICU/die)

One person who has benefited from AquaBounty coming to Pioneer, Ohio is the town’s mayor.

His company bought land for $600K before the deal was publicly announced, then flipped that property to AquaBounty for ~$2.1M.

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.

It’s Tuesday. There are 315 days until the midterm elections. Bubba calls Trump’s bluff, the truth finds a way and some more horrifying Epstein news.

UPDATE: Speaker Sexton’s @TNHighwayPatrol driver speeding through NASHVILLE and refusing to pull over, then getting into a confrontation with MNPD, has made national news.

Again: The TN GOP supermajority thinks laws don’t apply to them.

I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.

A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr.

Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet.

This is terrible.
A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air
