Australian here 👋
Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.
There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.
We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

What an utterly devastating weekend. My heart aches for everyone at Brown and everyone back home in Australia. Gun violence is an epidemic that should have no place in any functional and humane society. 💔

There are reports that the FDA intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines.
This is not in line with the science, which shows that COVID-19 are safe and have saved millions of lives.
This would be a serious abuse of power by FDA officials to further antivax political goals.

AIDS has killed 44 million people globally.
Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors.
Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.
This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.
