Increases in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks threaten years of progress
They already have.... they called it Vaccination !!!!... The word "vaccination" comes from the Latin word vacca, meaning "cow." In the late 18th century, English physician Edward Jenner discovered that milkmaids who had caught cowpox (a much milder disease) seemed immune to smallpox, a deadly disease at the time. In 1796, he tested this by taking pus from a cowpox sore on a milkmaid’s hand and inoculating it into a young boy. The boy didn’t get smallpox - and voilà, the first vaccine was born. Jenner called the procedure "vaccination" to honour the cow connection - from variolae vaccinae, Latin for "cowpox." Over time, "vaccination" came to refer more broadly to any immunisation procedure. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
The DPRK is the correct designation for what is commonly referred to as 'North Korea.' Whether one accepts the legitimacy of that name is another matter entirely. I was under the impression that forum rules required the correct terminology when referring to countries and their people. -

7-Eleven No Longer Gives Receipts - What Happened?
There are shops in the US where, at the end of the transaction, the cashier asks if you want a receipt. If you say 'yes' the thing pops out of the register at the push of a button. -

Are you a troll? You keep calling the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" "Democratic Korea", clearly in an attempt to inflame. Only one of the Koreas proactices democracy in the generally accepted sense, and I am pretty sure you are not referring to the Republic of Korea. If you are to repeatedly express admiration for this country as well as your extremist Islamic friends, have the common decency to use the accepted names. This seems to be an attempt to break the forum rules.
