Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.

Even if he didn't do that, the precedent has already been set that a criminal can rule America. I grew up loving this country, but it no longer feels like the country I've loved.

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

Dom Cummings or ‘Cum,’as we his pals call him, is loved.
What a team him & Elon make!
In our village we call them Musky Cum.
Jill in the village shop is celebrating by covering her baps in fudge & cream & calling them ‘Musky Cummers.’
They are a tad difficult to swallow though.🤢

America officially has an oligarchy starting January 20
Oligarchs typically aren’t interested in anything but giving themselves more wealth and power.
The NYT SHOULD start speaking to professors, authors and experts on the subject of oligarchs, kleptocracy, fascism and authoritarianism.
