Have we learned nothing? Hitler’s annexation of countries was initially met with appeasement, encouraging more annexation; after WW 2 the United Nations was created to prevent WW 3 by outlawing annexation. Winston Churchill: “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last”

As of 2024, 2,100 US children died of COVID-19. Over 91% of those deaths were in unvaccinated children. But
@nytimes.com
would rather promote the Trump FDA claim that 10 children died from the vaccine, instead of talking about the 2,100 that died without it.
