Almost can't stand all that Trump winning on his B Day.
Your liberal bleeding heart has produced teardrops in my eyes. Fetch the Kleenex, Luv. Zelensky has killed no children? Your biased one sided opinion has no bearing. Were you one of the “baby killer” screamers during the Vietnam War. All while sipping a pint in the safety of your local pub. -

Will there ever be a safe vaccine?
Many participants in this discussion seem to struggle with understanding the wealth of genuine, peer-reviewed medical research on this topic. Instead, the conversation often gets clouded by paranoia, catchy soundbites, and cognitive biases rather than clear facts. What’s more, there appears to be a lack of even the basic tools needed to grasp an accurate overview of the issues involved. It’s clear that very few have ventured beyond headlines and simplified snippets, which only adds to confusion. That’s why I strongly encourage everyone to push past any hesitation about tackling complex material and read Bad Science by Ben Goldacre (ISBN 978-0-00-728487-0). This book offers a clear, engaging, and well-informed guide to understanding how science really works — and how to spot misinformation in health and medicine. If you want to join this conversation from a place of knowledge rather than guesswork, Bad Science is a perfect place to start. Ben Goldacre—a doctor with a dry wit and a sharp scalpel, takes apart the nonsense we’re sold in the name of health. Bad Science exposes bogus claims from homeopaths, detox peddlers, nutrition “gurus,” and snake oil salesmen. But he doesn’t stop there. Goldacre also tears into Big Pharma, showing how drug companies can be just as guilty—burying negative trial results, distorting evidence, and gaming the system to boost profits. He argues that bad science isn’t just an alt-med problem—it’s systemic, and the only cure is transparency, proper trials, and public understanding of how science really works. Importantly, he rejects the flawed logic that says “because Big Pharma behaves badly, all mainstream medicine—including vaccines—must be fraudulent.” That’s not skepticism, he argues, it’s just bad reasoning. What you’ll find out is why homeopathy, detox, and miracle cures are a scam. How pharma firms distort clinical evidence. Why evidence-based medicine matters. How the media helps spread bad science. How to think critically and spot scientific BS – very little of this is shown on this thread If you care about real health, not hype, Bad Science is essential reading. -

The problem in America with Big Pharma is not the efficacy of medications, it's cost. My personal experience - I had one year's worth of a targeted inhibitor called Venclexta. It is not available in Thailand. In Australia, the cost was AUD 100. According to Sheryl, the cost in America would have been USD 70,000. AI (Gemini ) puts it even higher at USD 100,000. -

BREAKING NEWS Manhunt Ends as Suspect in Minnesota Lawmaker Shootings Is Captured
Fortunately, it appears from current news reporting that the state of Minnesota -- and not Trump's Justice Department under Pam Bondi -- is going to have the first crack at criminal prosecution of the suspect here: Vance Boelter charged in shootings of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. Here are details from the criminal complaint "Vance Boelter has been charged in the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. Boelter, 57, is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder, according to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County Court on Saturday. [emphasis added] (more) https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/vance-boelter-charges-minnesota-lawmaker-shootings/ "Boelter will be held on $5 million bail on the state charges, court documents say. Boelter may also face federal charges. [emphasis added] He was charged via warrant in Hennepin County with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder, according to court documents that were unsealed after his arrest." https://www.fox9.com/news/minnesota-lawmaker-shootings-vance-boelter-charges Officials: Assassination suspect caught after ‘largest manhunt in state history’ After arrest of Vance Boelter in Sibley County, Gov. Tim Walz calls for unity as he says political violence “cannot be the norm.” ... “Now begins the hard work of looking at what the motive is, looking at putting this case together, and so that’s yet to come,” Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley said. ... Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said authorities are confident Boelter committed the shootings alone, but said they will be exploring if there was a “broader network” related to the crimes. ... Walz called for people and politicians to work together. “It’s not about hatred, it’s not about mean tweets, it’s not about demeaning someone, it’s leading with grace and compassion and vision and compromise and decency,” he said. “That was taken from us in Minnesota with the murder of Speaker Hortman.” https://www.startribune.com/read-the-charges-against-vance-boelter/601373783 -

I'm not a Brit and no, you cannot have a king. Why would you want one? You have a clown king already. Surely that must be enough.- 1
