interesting news article ; almost everyone exept indigenous africans have some neanderthal ancestry. https://news.yahoo.com/did-severe-case-covid-19-150436082.html(https://news.yahoo.com/did-severe-case-covid-19-150436082.html)

They also want to defund the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for promoting vaccination. Stay far, far away from Idaho! https://news.yahoo.com/not-want-voice-idaho-gop-100000702.html

The level of stupidity being achieved by anti-vaxxers on Facebook is stunning to behold. https://twitter.com/VaxxersAnti/status/1645468882952683521?s=20

My father in law is being intubated today with covid. I couldn't convince my in-laws to get the bivalent booster; they were worried it would make them sick a couple of days and they wouldn't be able to take care of their dogs. Covid is still out there, and its still deadly; if you haven't gotten the bivalent booster yet, do it as soon as possible, preferably now.

The vaccines also prevented 18.5 million hospitalizations in the US alone. And these are conservative estimates. the rapid development and distribution of Covid vaccines is hands down the greatest scientific accomplishment of the 21st Century. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/health/covid-19-vaccines-study/index.html

GOP legislators across the country are introducing bills to end mandatory vaccination of schoolchildren for many diseases as a result of the party's decision to embrace anti-vaxxer lies and politicize pseudoscientific opposition to the greatest scientific achievement of the 21st century, the rapid development of safe and effective Covid vaccines which literally saved millions of lives. We can look forward to outbreaks of numerous childhood diseases we eradicated decades ago, including polio. The GOP is a death cult. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/10/6/23389145/covid-19-anti-vaccine-legislation

Its not just Covid; polio is now making a comeback. I read about an American child from an antivaxxer family who has been paralyzed from polio, a disease we defeated decades ago thanks to vaccines. The family is now denying the child has polio. Look for more frequent outbreaks of all the diseases children use to routinely get vaccinated against.

In most states which have banned abortions, criminal penalties currently apply only to abortion providers, and not women who get an abortion. aidaccess.org can aid women in obtaining abortion pills by mail. Foreign doctors prescribe the pills, and foreign pharmacies fill the prescriptions and mail them to the patient. The pills are safe and effective; please spread the word so that women know they have options other than traveling hundreds of miles out of state to obtain an abortion.

Interesting article that shows that the consequences of not vaccinating and masking were even deadlier in 2021 than the official covid death rate shows, which was bad enough. https://acasignups.net/22/05/09/exclusive-non-covid-excess-death-rates-ran-21x-higher-reddest-counties-bluest-2021
