Babies with Covid are 7.25 times more likely to die than babies with RSV.
And thatβs only deathβnever mind the chronic impact that can result.
Keep newborns out of public places, if you possibly canβand buy a HEPA filter for your daycare!

The state of denial is acute.
It's going to fall further too, just as the actual age at which people dies has also fallen and is continuing to fall.
So you die younger, and you become unhealthy younger.

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

When someone says βScientists do not want you to knowβ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canβt shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.
NEW: X Is *drowning* in disinformation following US and Israelβs attack on Iran. WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.
It's perpetrators who people worry about losing everything, even as victims lose everything. People think perpetrators deserve a pathway to redemptionβwhat about victims? What about their lost opportunities? What about their reputations?
And another thing: When examining the harsh reality of what happens to victims and perpetrators of sexual violence, it becomes clear how sexual violence is a tool of the patriarchy. It is a political weapon. It is a way to keep women out of "men's spaces." It is retaliation and punishment.
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
This was one of Labour's safest seats.
If the Greens can replace Labour here, then the Greens can replace Labour everywhere.
It's worse for Labour than it looks.
Green canvassers yesterday reported voters - Muslim and non-Muslim - still voting Labour for fear of Reform.
This was a moment of total humiliation for Matt Goodwin.
A liberal academic turned hard right charlatan, the people of Manchester took a look at the politics of hatred he peddled - and told him to do one.
To the dustbin of history for you, Matt.
The Greens ran one of the most astonishing grassroots campaigns in history.
Thousands of activists from Gorton and Denton and beyond brought a message of hope.
Yesterday's canvass for the Greens may well have been the biggest in the history of this country.
If it wasn't for the tsunami of support that the Greens had, the Labour strategy of lies could have handed Reform the seat.
But Labour MPs kept briefing that they'd prefer Reform to win rather than the Greens.
That's what we're dealing with here.
The Labour party didn't just lie.
They ran a disgusting gutter campaign.
The sort of campaign you'd expect from far right hatemongers.
What they did in Gorton and Denton must never be forgotten. They must never get away with it.
The Starmer project was based on crushing the left into the dust.
That's all it had.
They could never have predicted that this strategy could end up risking the destruction of Labour as a political force.
The Starmer project never understood that millions of people want an alternative to a broken economic system and a foreign policy based on mass murder.
If you believed in that, the Starmer project told you to fuck off.
Well, we have fucked off. How do you like them apples
I think it boils down to the fact that they refuse to believe the Culture isn't a top down thing pushed by those in power. They have never been able to accept that people like or live in the ways they find abhorrent & so created a reason that means all you need is power
i think itβs beautiful that in this country, once you are no longer culturally relevant, you can just pivot to grifting conservatives
We must be running low on racists.
Thereβs a reason they spend so much time saying that AI is βinevitable.β They know itβs not. They live in fear of an understanding of the emperorβs nakedness.
