RFK Jr. says the top scientific journals are “corrupt”. Yet his MAHA disinformation report includes fake references and grossly false statements. Reviewers and editors at any of these journals would have caught these, resulting in its wholesale rejection. Don’t give an inch to this charlatan.

Save the CBC 🇨🇦✌️

Poilievre burned $11M in expenses — double Trudeau — while crying about CBC costs. Now he wants to kill CBC and drag Canada into MAGA-style chaos. Save the CBC. Vote strategically. Keep the cons out of Ottawa.

Some construction unions have endorsed Poilievre … but so have notorious anti-union employer lobby groups like the Merit Contractors, who literally lobby every day to destroy unions and keep wages low. Poilievre is NOT our friend. Don’t fall for it.

HPV Vaccine is Cancer Prevention
A couple of years ago I was waiting in a clinic to see my physician for a normal well check. When a nurse I had never met came in to check my vitals, she started with small talk. “How are you doing…

Vaccinating vs. measles protects babies who are too young to receive the vaccine. Maternal antibodies of a vaccinated mother are transferred to the baby. Robust herd immunity reduces virus circulation in communities and protects the most vulnerable.

Infants barely three days old are receiving antibody injections to help protect against the virus. Nearly 300 cases have been reported in the outbreak.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.
