A good question. My niece a lovely person, no science education, is anti vax, her child is unvaccinated despite coming from a medical family. I can't get over she thinks all that medical training is WRONG, that WE are the misguided ones. Her grandfather at age of 2 nearly died of diphtheria.

She hasn't read the judgement. A minimal sentence gives no room for a judge's independent decision. The example given is a comprising photo on a teenager's phone that was sent as a group.This needs to be vigorously addressed but perhaps not by a year in jail. She is a blunt instrument herself.

Most sense I have read in awhile

Canada take note. They are doing the same thing here. This is how they will try and make us the 51st state. We have our extreme right wing people who would collude with the US to bring fascist government here. Book banning and anti-vaccine sentiment is already with us.

It was individual boycotts that produced these numbers. These must continue. In addition, increasing and allying our defense spending with European companies, hurts the powerful US military/ finance complex. Europe is already doing this.
This is how we retaliate and stand up to the bully.

They weren't working anyway. And Canada and China were the only countries to put on retaliatory tariffs. Other countries waited to see and realized like Canada now has, that nothing works dealing with an impulsive creature of base instincts except trying to limit the damage. This is where we are.

Finally Canada is getting some independent vaccine supply. It is a start so let us keep going and while we are at it, transfer mRNA research next . We can become leaders in cancer treatment.

Why is a "list" more important than the actual women who have been trying to talk about what happened to them haven't been listened to. There is plenty of evidence without the "list". Like everything else, he gets away with it. Empathy for the vulnerable is being choked to death in the US.

Have been following you for some time because I really like your posts. I decided to see who you are, was thrown off by you being the best Christian, but then perhaps you are that rare bird and actual Christian Christian? A deeper dive and you are Canadian !!!! Great parody + intelligent commentary

Love these walkby / sound bites. Of course they are staged but they convey energy and I am going to get things done .
