New study just dropped linking shingles reactivation and dementia risk.

You know what reactivates shingles? Covid.

Want to avoid it? Wear a well fitted respirator and give yourself the best odds of avoiding Covid infection.

There’s also a shingles vaccine which may help reduce risk!

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Everybody in his administration bought stock on Friday when the market crashed.

Today there will be some magic good news pill that will take the market back up so they can sell and make more money.

Watch.

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I lived in Venice, CA when they federalized troops during the Rodney King riots. Curfews were in place so we had curfew parties where we’d gather at different homes instead of going out. We always invited them to join us and offered food and beverages.

I've seen videos of them shooting at the ground but, I've heard 2 people were actually shot in Chicago. He's given his troops authority to use "full force" so, we'll see just how far his dogs will obey before they either come to their senses or go full "gazpacho" on America's ass.

No one is coming!

Like the Frog and Chicken costumed protesters in Portland!

By the way, the protesters said the pepper spray was “just a little bit spicy” —that he’d tasted far spicier because he was Mexican!

His lewd dance in his frog costume repelled the 🧊 agents who retreated.

ICE pepper-sprayed a protester in a frog costume. Now the "Portland Frog" is a symbol of absurd resistance

"Is this really what you guys consider to be 'domestic terrorists?'"

That's why they should be resisted with music and mockery, not weapons, as tempting as it is to want to shoot them in the mask.
