The cops have been patrolling through my neighborhood since 5p about every 40-60 min, couple times with spotlights on

It’s now 5am, I assume they’re looking for someone?

No matter how you wrap it, adoption is BUYING a child, my parents paid $40k for me in 1992, that’s $95k in today’s money.

I was literally bought, regardless of the overall good outcome

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Every time I write about measles, experts warn that polio is next.

But it's been so long since we had polio outbreaks, there are very few doctors who even know how to treat its long-term health issues. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’m a Polio Survivor. I Don’t Want You to Get It. Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.

Since polio vaccines may be considered β€œoptional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones

If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

Vinay Prasad single-handedly destroyed the entire US vaccine system.

And those of us who have been warning about him since 2020 are fucking exhausted.
