No one talked about “immunity debt” when polio or smallpox or cholera were the infections our parents/grandparents feared. No one was better off catching those either. Infection does not make a person stronger.
Is it finally really really happening? Have the wheels come off? It could just be my biased feed, but it’s not stopping and it’s not looking good for any world leader with small hands & fat ankles.
Trump’s trade war with China was bankrupting small farms. The tariffs crippled them. When they lost their livelihood, some committed suicide. Trump gave them a bailout but all that money went to the big farms who didn’t need it. What happened next? Another bailout that the small…
I can’t help but feel embarrassed for my American friends having to endure this clown of a president who possesses the cognitive development of a fourth grader.
Why on earth do successive 🇦🇺 govts keep allowing giant multinational companies to reap super profits from the sale of our resources without paying tax?? 🤯 This $$ should be supporting Australians in health, housing, education etc. theguardian.com/australia-news…
Trump's claim stems from opposition to offshore wind, often citing unverified noise impacts driving whales "crazy." No real study supports this; he's not quoting science. NOAA and experts find no evidence linking turbines to beaching—main causes are ship strikes and fishing gear.…

Drug companies: PBS is unfair Also drug companies: $5 billion in 🇦🇺 revenue last year but only paid around 2% tax We should protect the PBS and ensure multinationals pay tax here. afr.com/companies/heal…

Every medicine on the PBS, no more than $25. We're working to make it law this week.
I saw an ad on sbs last night warning about the dangers of RSV, and not just for infants, for adults. I haven’t seen any kind of similar messaging for COVID, which is about a squillion times more dangerous for adults 🤦♂️
What's the difference between the cold, flu and RSV? Why is C19 not included in this article? As usual, there is a winter C19 wave going on. People need better information abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
Tired months after COVID? A study found that even 11 months later, many people still show impaired mitochondrial function in their immune cells - a possible driver of long COVID symptoms. And yes, even after mild infections.🧵
BREAKING: David Letterman just destroyed CBS for bowing to Donald Trump and firing Stephen Colbert. This is amazing.
If your baby had been born in the days before we had vaccines, they would have had a 1 in 5 chance of not making it to their 1st birthday
ICE handcuff & detain U.S. citizen for 2 hours—even after he proved born in Texas. Agents said he "looked like" someone they were looking for—told him to "shave your beard" to avoid future arrest. "I felt kidnapped," he said. "They just put me in handcuffs and took me to…
