Let’s be clear: The primary reason to be vaccinated against shingles is that two shots provide at least 90% protection against a painful, blistering disease that a third of Americans will suffer in their lifetimes, one that can cause lingering nerve pain and other nasty long-term consequences. The most important reason for older adults to be vaccinated against the respiratory infection RSV is that their risk of being hospitalized with it declines by almost 70% in the year they get the shot, and by nearly 60% over 2 years. And the main reason to roll up a sleeve for an annual flu shot is that when people do get infected, it also reliably reduces the severity of illness, though its effectiveness varies by how well scientists have predicted which strain of influenza shows up. But other reasons for older people to be vaccinated are emerging. They are known, in doctor-speak, as off-target benefits, meaning that the shots do good things beyond preventing the diseases they were designed to avert. The list of off-target benefits is lengthening as “the research has accumulated and accelerated over the last 10 years,” said William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The strongest evidence for off-target benefits, dating back 25 years, shows reduced cardiovascular risk following flu shots. Stanford researchers seized on a natural experiment in Wales in 2013, when the first shingles vaccine, Zostavax, became available to older people who had not yet turned 80. Anyone who had was ineligible. Over 7 years, dementia rates in participants who had been eligible for vaccination declined by 20% — even though only half had actually received the vaccine — compared with those who narrowly missed the cutoff. https://www.medscape.com/s/viewarticle/vaccines-are-helping-older-people-more-than-we-knew-2026a10001ix?ecd=wnl_tp10_daily_260117_MSCPEDIT_etid8032703&uac=298313PJ&impID=8032703

So what does it all mean? Win the day: Most posts in 24 hours? The number beside your posts count with the heart emoji? Number of posts with positive (not thumbs down(or broken heart?)) likes? As with everything, it should be quality, not quantity that is sought.

Hard to believe this administration put Ali on a stamp before tRump got his picture on one.

Not necessarily. If you've lived in Canada for 20 years after turning 18 you can collect OAS regardless of where you live.

Why 'Chelsea's trophy' is in the US president's officeWhen the White House posted a picture of US President Donald Trump meeting with world leaders in the Oval Office at the White House this week, eagle-eyed football fans spotted an unlikely piece of silverware in pride of place. The Club World Cup trophy, which Chelsea beat Paris St-Germain to win in July in New Jersey, can be seen on display, external in the president's office in Washington DC. "I said, 'When are you going to pick up the trophy?' [They said] 'We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office, we're making a new one'," he said in an interview.

Any attack by China or Russia would trigger NATOs involvement so not going to happen.

Bought from @ca08 in December. Business as usual except no more delivery by Thai Post.

Canadian dollars, what a joke. I was working in Ottawa in the 80's and got transferred to Texas with the same company, same job,,same level. My Canadian salary was around $40k Canadian. The Texas salary was about $60k US. At the time the Canadian dollar was about the same as now at 0.75, so my pay went from $40k CDN to $75k CDN overnight. Canadians get screwed all the time, and stuff costs more there too.

The football player gave the Superbowl ring to putin to look at and he put it in his pocket. Same same. A Nobel Prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred9 Jan 2026 The Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute receive a number of requests for comments regarding the permanence of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s status. The facts are clear and well established. Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time. https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-releases/a-nobel-prize-cannot-be-revoked-shared-or-transferred But what would Norway know. Did you know they're at around 97% EV adoption?

Trump got a peace prize the same way Putin got a Superbowl ring. He stole it.

It's fall season in Pattaya again.

So the arriving caretaker couldn't find him and saw his body in the parking lot. So no idea when he met his demise then.

Oh look. You're at 2.8k. I'm at 10.9k. and I've never “won the day'.

What's this “winning the day“? The most posts in a day? Any idiot can make useless threads like you,do and reply to themselves multiple times. It means nothing. The ratio is much more accurate.

You expect me to remember on February 26th?

Please let us know when it's available for download. This thread is about tv shows/movies you ARE watching.

Trump Claims is pretty much the same as saying Trump Lies...

You clearly don't know what fascism is.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday said there's "currently no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation," into the killing of 37-year-old Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, multiple outlets reported. The big picture: The announcement is the clearest indicator yet that federal authorities aren't planning to probe the officer's conduct. Federal investigators last week restricted Minnesota investigators' access to case materials and placed the FBI in sole control of the probe, prompting backlash from state leaders and local law enforcement. https://www.axios.com/2026/01/14/ice-trump-minneapolis-investigation-justice-department You keep moving farther to the left on that bell curve. Maybe it's senility.

Duh. You can join yt on the wrong side of the bell curve: Federal prosecutors quit in protest over lack of investigation into ICE shooting Six lawyers from US attorney’s office in Minnesota quit along with four leaders of DoJ’s civil rights division https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/doj-attorneys-resign-minneapolis-ice-shooting Trump says smart people don't like him. You like trump. Therefore... Can you do simple logic?

The idiots are announcing it. Do try and keep up. You need a better fact source.

They're investigating everyone but the guilty party. And six federal prosecutors resigned because the doj wanted them to investigate the innocent.

Give them time. It's coming

But you said tRump never said that... And clearly he did. And the people laughing are merely the sychophants that give him fake praise and clap at everything he says You're moving farther to the left of that bell curve,

Really? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZchiwmOzkqY
