Vaccines are a wedge issue, exploited by politicians to garner votes, by political commentators to build brands and by online influencers to get clicks.

On measles and vaccines, Canada can’t keep ignoring the elephant in the room
Study after study has shown that political affiliation is one of the single strongest predictors of vaccination status.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Agree with Charlie. Go home, Hoekstra!
Please watch and share.
Pete Hoekstra is fundamentally unfit to be ambassador. His record of race-baiting and extremist disinformation needs to be called out.
MAGA is actively undermining our nation. Canada needs to send him packing.

Guess they must learn the lesson AGAIN about nature taking its course.
Let’s be clear. The ultimate goal of anti-vaxxers is to outlaw all vaccines. For everyone. “Let nature take its course” is what they tell you in person. RFK Jr and his accomplices on ACIP are taking the first steps towards the end of all vaccines.

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk.
First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it.
