GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a nasally delivered, antibiotic-inactivated Bordetella pertussis (AIBP) vaccine that NOT ONLY prevents SEVERE disease BUT also CURBS bacterial TRANSMISSION. This NEEDLE-FREE AIBP platform could open the door to new vaccines against other respiratory bacteria.

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?
State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.
