Illegal aliens have been responsible for the deaths of 4 Minnesotans in the last 5 years. Three were in traffic accidents and the 4th was a domestic violence incident. Obviously tragic, but ICE/CBP have murdered 2 Minnesotans in 17 days. They are not making MN safer!

I do think parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate their kids.
I also think schools, sports teams, and other clubs or activities should absolutely have the right to exclude those who don’t want to participate in keeping these communities safe by getting vaccinated.

Murrow warned us about this a long time ago, that TV would trade truth for spectacle, analysis for noise, and civic duty for profit. Putting unvetted, attention seeking talkers on air proves his point. TV chose ratings over responsible reporting. It’s the business model.

Correct. They do not care about the harm they will cause in Guinea-Bissau and they are preying on infants in this country because they especially do not care about Black children.
This 🧵 is important & I want to highlight: They are going to give kids in an Guinea-Bissau a placebo for Hep B even though it's already proven to be safe. These white supremacists are putting African children at risk to support a thesis we know is wrong. They do not value Black lives.
