Idiocracy was unrealistic only because we got dumber quicker than the movie anticipated

🚨 Big news: The protein-based, non-mRNA COVID vaccine Nuvaxovid™ from Novavax/Sanofi is expected to be available as soon as this week! 🌟 This could be a game-changer for those looking for alternatives. 💉 #Nuvaxovid #COVID19 #VaccineChoice #MedSky

Nobel Prize winner for his work on mRNA vaccines says that ACIP member’s claim that Covid vaccines persist in the body is absolutely impossible. Dr. Drew Weissman says that the vast literature shows that the Covid vaccines are safe. www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

Got my COVID shot 🧪💉 yesterday, AKA the final slice of cheese 🧀

@andertoon.bsky.social My thoughts exactly given current events 💉🧪

There's a reason that Physicians (especially Pediatricians) vaccinate themselves and their children. 🧪💉 #VaccinesCauseAdults #ACIP

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

🚨 UPDATE on the current COVID vaccine access situation in the US. Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.

MAHA? (Make America Healthy Again), more like MAYHEM! (Misguiding America Yielding Harmful Erosion of Medicine) 🧪

That congressional hearing on RFK Jr's crusade to dismantle public health through vaccine skepticism was a literal dumpster fire

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Doctor here. Do you know what sucks and is an extremely preventable disease? Polio. Let's not go back in time, people. Signed, Exhaustedly Frustrated Pediatrician

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.

Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

In a surprising turn of events shocking no one. Izreal, your decimation of the people of 🍉 is despicable

The roadmap to becoming Gilead is paved with crap like this

But if the remaining 14 hours a day of "fighting" still includes shooting "warning shots" at and killing hungry Palestinians in a famine of Isresl's design, this ceasefire is utterly meaningless

I won't be holding my breath

It's easier to prevent the world stage from stepping in or putting any real pressure on Israel. That's why it's not a famine or genocide. Though it is

I've seen this movie before!! Next we swap out the water entirely for healthy organic sugar and electrolytes

I had no idea that EMTALA or Hippocratic Oath could be superseded by NPCs... This is so baffling and scary that I'm at a loss for words. How can you deny someone care like this??

Najah Abu Shihada told NPR producer Anas Baba that her 1-year-old was admitted to the hospital for malnutrition six days ago. -- His weight? Seven pounds. Israel Daniel Danon's reply: "There are issues, and we know that there is suffering in Gaza today, but no one can blame Israel for that."

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed across Gaza on Sunday as they tried to get food aid, according to local health authorities, one of the deadliest days in recent months for those seeking assistance. By Joe Hernandez, @danielestrin.bsky.social and Anas Baba

This is disheartening, disgusting, and depressing. Trans lives matter. Gate-keeping specificially trained LGBTQ+ counselors, who'd serve one of the most at-risk groups who might call, is downright despicable.
