Der Tankrabatt sei laut Merz "ein starkes Signal für unser Land". Also für mich ist das ein Armutszeugnis. Das Land ist abhängig von fossilen Ölkonzernen und statt den Verbrauch drastisch zu reduzieren (Tempolimit, Elektrifizierung, ...), wird der Verbrauch jetzt auch noch massiv subventioniert.

A global study in the journal Cell found why some people get severely ill from COVID-19. Their immune systems "mistakenly" train B cells to destroy their own type-I interferons (IFN)—the proteins meant to sound the viral alarm. This silent flaw exists before infection.

Children born in low-income countries are 13 times more likely to die before the age of 5 than in higher-income countries. This is unacceptable. We must break the chain of health inequity and give all children a fair chance to live long and healthy lives.
Where your child is born changes how long they are likely to live. Let's be all for equity.
