Finally back on topic!! Promising news for Malaria vaccines too Scientific breakthrough harnesses mRNA technology to develop powerful malaria vaccine A new mRNA vaccine targeting immune cells in the liver could be the key to tackling malaria, a disease that causes over half a million deaths each year according to the World Health Organization, yet has no effective long-lasting vaccine. Trans-Tasman research collaborators from Te Herenga Waka— Victoria University of Wellington’s Ferrier Research Institute and the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research in New Zealand, and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Australia have developed an mRNA-based vaccine that can effectively target and stimulate protective immune cell responses against the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium in preclinical models. https://www.doherty.edu.au/news-events/news/mrna-technology-to-develop-powerful-malaria-vaccine

Yea but he'll be fuming after hearing this one.....lol Trump drops off Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans The ranking comes a week after a New York state judge ruled ahead of Trump's civil fraud trial, which began this week, that he committed fraud by exaggerating his net worth on financial records. N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James alleges in a court filing that Trump's annual net worth was exaggerated by 17-39%, or between $812 million and $2.2 billion, during the period 2011 to 2021. https://www.axios.com/2023/10/03/trump-drops-off-forbes-rich-list

So why did Trumps own company in 2020 agree with a property appraiser that it was worth just $27 million? In fact, the judge had cited Palm Beach County Property Appraiser valuations putting the property at between $18 million and $28 million, depending on the year, from 2011 to 2021. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-mar-a-lago-1-8-billion-own-company-said-it-was-too-high/

Donnie just received a gag order, he just can't help himself............ On Tuesday, Mr Trump posted a picture of principal clerk Allison Greenfield with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer at a campaign event. In the post, he called Ms Greenfield "Schumer's girlfriend" and said that the case against him should be dismissed. After a court break, Judge Engoron did not mention anyone by name but referenced the social media incident saying that a defendant "posted to a social media account a disparaging, untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff". "Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances," he said. "Failure to abide by this order will result in serious sanctions," he said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67001699

Trump. Injecting disinfectant

We've got a rag tag bunch of conspiracy theorists on here, from flat earthers to those who don't even believe that dangerous viruses exist. I have no need to listen to their rubbish

I care that so many have been saved by the vaccines, the problem however is others on here are trying to find any false outrage to knock what was a wonderful achievement for humanity.

He broke your trust, who cares, he helped save lots of lives and they care more.

I only bothered with the first one and its a false quote from Fauci: https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/553773-fauci-vaccinated-people-become-dead-ends-for-the-coronavirus/ What's the link to your unattributed graphic?

By whom? An Aussie who is descendent from a Brit?

Encouraging news if this goes through the next stage, a great weapon against a deadly cancer that strikes so many. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest. New mRNA Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine Trial Starts Next Phase A new approach to treating pancreatic cancer is progressing to the next step in making it available to more patients. After results from a small study, a phase 2 clinical trial has now opened to test the effectiveness of using an mRNA vaccine to fight one of the deadliest cancers. The new trial is investigating whether this therapeutic vaccine reduces the risk of pancreatic cancer returning after the tumor is removed by surgery. The study will enroll approximately 260 patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and nearly 80 sites around the world. https://www.mskcc.org/news/can-mrna-vaccines-fight-pancreatic-cancer-msk-clinical-researchers-are-trying-find-out

I'll wait for him to tell me his version of the meaning

soapdodger?

So no harm then, it helped encourage people to take the vaccine and save more lives

What harm did it do exactly?

No the point is you made it up, simple really

No, you're confused or your making it up from somewhere

"How on earth did it get to this?" I think as you mentioned, social media has been responsible for much of it, it draws together these people in droves: This study reviewed 170 studies involving over 158,000 participants associated with conspiratorial thinking, mainly from the United States, the United Kingdom and Poland. Here's just a few reasons the study mentions but lots more context in the article. The researchers found that overall, people were motivated to believe in conspiracy theories by a need to understand and feel safe in their environment and a need to feel like the community they identify with is superior to others. The researchers also found that people with certain personality traits, such as a sense of antagonism toward others and high levels of paranoia, were more prone to believe conspiracy theories. Those who strongly believed in conspiracy theories were also more likely to be insecure, paranoid, emotionally volatile, impulsive, suspicious, withdrawn, manipulative, egocentric and eccentric. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2023/06/why-people-believe-conspiracy-theories

The source links are in the post....................

Enough with the promotion of your conspiracy theories, this is getting tedious. We all know you're anti vax, you've claimed many times that vaccinations are putting poisons in your body, we all know you do not even believe in a pathogenic virus which is about as bizarre as can be. But to come on here promoting your rubbish is toxic and not what this forum is about. Perhaps head to 4chan or somewhere more appropriate. Sam Bailey who you are promoting was struck off being a registered practicing doctor by the New Zealand Medical Council for the covid misinformation and anti vax rhetoric she was promoting. Her infamous book she co wrote "Virus Mania" is nothing but a trip down the deep deep rabbit hole. https://factcheck.afp.com/new-zealand-doctor-makes-misleading-claims-about-countrys-pcr-testing-regime-widely-shared-youtube https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/canterbury/132743978/christchurch-doctors-statements-in-videos-attention-seeking-and-clickbait-health-expert-says

So if these vaccines are so wonderful, why are people still suffering from Covid? People are also still suffering from the flu but get regular yearly boosters. That's how it works when you have evolving variants.

More unsubstantiated false claims

"The UAF shelling on civilians of Donbas region started before 2014 and didn't stop." Like I said, nothing of yours sticks without credible links: Civilian casualties in Donbas from 2014 in both government controlled areas and in territory controlled by the self-proclaimed 'republics' https://ukraine.un.org/sites/default/files/2022-02/Conflict-related civilian casualties as of 31 December 2021 (rev 27 January 2022) corr EN_0.pdf

Nothing sticks without a credible link: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source."

However you could also read past the headline as your version of the link is not quite what the reality is. “The poll shows that most of the nation still trusts the [U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] and the [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] on vaccines -- but there is a partisan gap, and most Republicans don’t trust the nation’s regulatory and scientific agencies responsible for vaccine approval and guidance,” KFF President and CEO Drew Altman said in an organization news release. Fewer than half of Americans (46%) say they will "definitely" or "probably" get the new COVID shot -- that's higher than the percentage who have received previous boosters, though still lower than those who got the initial vaccines in 2020. Interest is highest among those 65 and older (64%) and among Democrats (70%). About 24% of Republicans plan to get the shot.
