No, it's not only the US who will suffer from RFK Jr cancelling vaccine research.
1️⃣ You can't just instantly teleport research. Cancelling US projects slows global progress.
2️⃣ Viruses spread across borders so preventing pandemics will always be a group project. The US is letting the team down and putting the world at risk.

Have we succeeded yet in making a 3D printer where you push the button and it prints things?
Last time I tried they all required hours of bed leveling, glue sticks applied to the printing surface, and half the time you still ended up with a pile of ABS spaghetti in place of what you wanted to print.

I would welcome anyone to sit down at a table with me and talk about war.
And talk about how bad and how brutal war is.
This is not war.
This is designed genocide.
This is designed anihilation.
This deliberate.
You don't accidentally trip your way into genocide.
It's planned.
It's systematic.
It's designed.
The way the sites are designed.
It's no different than putting people on a train and taking them to a concentration camp.
It's no different ~ then why are we afraid to call it what it is!?
Why are we afraid to say it, like: "That's what you're doing".
#FaceTheHorror #Starvation #Genocide #Deliberate #Cruel #ThisIsWhatTotalitarianismLooksLike #Palestine #Gaza
Pull your head out of the silent sands of complicity.
We can still mend this.
No need to let the hot active genocide to go global.
First they came...
So if you wont even lift a finger striving to save them in compassion, do so for your own salvation.
"It's not okay"
screams to me, the same essence as my asking over and over "Why is wrong okay!?", after long suffering as an autistic (with the autistic need for truth), and a covert-narcissist parent (with the narcissistic complete disinterest in truth and reality).
After 19 months of war on Gaza and starvation ,I am asking for your support for my family who are currently trapped in the war torn Gaza Strip.Chuffed

My own dotfiles started from those provided by ArcoLinux, with a bunch of changes over the years I had them. Currently installed using Ansible, because that's more sensible than Bash for this imo.

_Democrat DECLARES Zohran Mamdani Is The “DEMOCRATIC MESSAGE,” Dems Are Going FULL SOCIALIST_
They denied being "socialists" for more than a century, then they embraced it.
Then also denied being "communists" for the past few decades. But now they're embracing it.
At least now, they're being honest (sort of, anyway.)
What they are is state supremacists (of the totalitarian variety) who, at a minimum, believe they (collectively, of course) have the right to control whatever aspect of anyone's and/or of everyone's life that they decide is "for the general welfare" and/or is "for the greater good" and/or is "for the children" and/or is "to redress past wrongs" (committed by those no longer alive, against those also no longer alive,) regardless of whether or not they will allow you to have nominal rights to liberty and/or nominal title to whatever property.
Note that what nominal ("in name only") rights they will allow is the major issue that divides one state supremacist from another. Of course, in any state supremacist system, all rights are "in name only," because they can, will, and fully intend to, use the power of the state they control to make you do whatever they want—you know, the same state whose courts decide what the laws (and Constitutional clauses) actually mean, and how those laws (and Constitutional clauses) apply in specific cases.
