The Witkoff-Dmitriev plan puts Zelensky in a familiar spot. He can accept Moscow’s terms, or Ukraine can keep fighting a war few think it can win. It’s the same choice Ukrainians faced in February 2022 - so don’t expect the answer from Kyiv to be any different this time. My analysis

Particularly pleased to read this point: “Even if vaccines were the cause of autism—which I don't believe—I would much rather have my child be his wonderful autistic self and have vaccine protection against deadly diseases than try to withhold necessary vaccines out of a fear of autistic traits.”

I certainly did not like last night's "update" to the CDC website suggesting that vaccines do cause autism after all. I liked it even less when I thought about what that means for the upcoming ACIP meeting. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/preventabl...

#Cdnpoli #USpoli #UK Closing things down one week earlier and 48% of the people killed by COVID in the #UK first wave would've lived. Now can we please start taking the idea that #COVIDisAirborne seriously and start cleaning our indoor air.

"whatever strains do circulate here this winter, we can be confident that the vaccine will still help to protect those most vulnerable from developing serious illness and being hospitalised. We strongly encourage all those eligible to get vaccinated against flu" ASAP #flu #NorthernHemisphere
