  1. Apparently, it is still true.
  2. True, but there's no a priori reason for supposing that the vaccine will not work, or will have any significantly different safety profile in people over 60, as far as I'm aware.
  3. How does it do that? As they have stated (and as is indisputably true) that have no power to do so. And if they did put pressure on sovereign nations, why did so many implement lockdowns when the WHO said, "we'd rather not do it."?
  4. The article did not accuse Trump of any of those things. If it did, you might have a point - but it doesn't. It doesn't even compare Trump to Hitler directly, it just says (as clearly stated in the OP) that he is using an American version of Hitler's 'stabbed-in-the-back' lie.
  5. The article quite clearly states what he was supposed to have done wrong. As it says, he was, "accused of involvement in a fatal shooting."
  6. And that's why the WHO does not make such decisions, as is pointed out very clearly in the article, where the WHO is quoted as follows: As for "requiring nations to comply with WHO-recommended lockdowns and other emergency measures," that is also nonsense. Once again, as they have unequivocally stated, they do not have that power and if you want to take COVID as the example, they didn't do that anyway. In fact, if anything, the WHO advised against lockdowns (though again, with no power of compunction). Here is the WHO spokesman on the topic of lockdowns in October, 2020. WHO Warning About Covid-19 Coronavirus Lockdowns Is Taken Out Of Context https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/10/13/who-warning-about-covid-19-coronavirus-lockdowns-is-taken-out-of-context/
  7. On the other hand, the paper also states that the data on risks for seronegative individuals for DENV3 and 4 is limited, precisely because infections with those serotypes is less common. That seems to be true for Thailand also. "In Thailand, DENV-2 and DENV-1 are the most common dengue serotypes, although DENV-3 and DENV-4 also circulate. Studies in Southern Thailand and other regions have shown DENV-2 as a dominant serotype in some years, followed by DENV-1, DENV-3, and DENV-4." Epidemiology and costs of Dengue in Thailand https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9810168/ So it seems as though the risk of getting DENV3 or 4 is lower that for the other two serotypes.
  8. The WHO position paper that your linked article references in regard to Qdenga for seronegative individuals, states the following: So unless you're at high risk of Dengue infection, maybe Qdenga is not really indicated at this time (until more data is available). However the efficacy figures the WHO paper gives are much higher. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/who-wer-9918-203-224?form=MG0AV3
  9. So you actually believe that front line soldiers (some of whom are released convicts) are all going to get jobs as ministers and deputies when the war is over - if, as you mention, they actually manage to survive? If you do believe that, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you might like to buy.
  10. 20% drop from Europe, 75% from Canada and 23% from Mexico. So much winning. US, Canada flight bookings fall 75%, domestic tourism slows — how to plan trips as Trump hits travel demand https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-canada-flight-bookings-fall-104400058.html
  11. Maybe she was reacting to the article below (just for the avoidance of doubt this is satire). Pope loses will to live after meeting J D Vance https://newsthump.com/2025/04/21/pope-loses-will-to-live-after-meeting-jd-vance/
  12. Here's another article reflecting how the same Trump-specific concerns that led to these travel advisories is also causing a serious drop in tourist numbers. Airlines, Hotels, Cruise Stocks Face This Big Threat as Tourists Boycott the U.S. https://www.barrons.com/articles/airline-stocks-hotels-us-tourist-boycott-9bc8fb69
  13. The various articles about this make it clear that this not just the same as in the past and that for instance, many of the countries issuing advisories to their citizens about travelling to the US are doing so in direct response to Trump administration policies. Here's just one such article. Countries Are Now Issuing Advisories for Travelers Visiting the U.S.—What to Know https://www.travelandleisure.com/countries-are-now-issuing-advisories-for-travelers-visiting-the-usa-11706306
  14. Your memory is correct. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22996-shingles-vaccine
  15. That's the older vaccine, Zostavax. For the newer Shingrix vaccine, the following is the info:
