Wherein I talk about how the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk is being exploited by authoritarians in much the same way Nazi party chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels exploited the death of brownshirt Horst Wessel in 1930.

I’m beginning to understand how horrible it must have been for Americans to open fire on each other in 1861, and how quickly and readily they became used to it.

No. Damn near all Democrats unequivocally condemned his killing and oppose who he was & what he espoused. That’s not “trashing” him. That’s disagreeing with him. Btw, all the voices on the right USING his killing to attack the left and push a war between good & evil is way more “disturbing & scary.”

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. Dozens of studies, made up of more than one million children total, have confirmed repeatedly that there is no link between vaccination and autism. Vaccines cause healthy children. Vaccines do not cause autism.

Vaccines do not cause autism. Vaccines do not cause autism. Several studies, made up of more than one million children, have repeatedly confirmed that there is no link between autism and vaccination. Vaccines have never caused autism. A 1998 study of 12 children claimed to find a link between autism and vaccines. The study was later retracted because it was found that information was falsified and the lead author was being paid by a law firm that wanted to sue vaccine manufacturers. The author lost his medical license, and no credible study since then has confirmed a link between autism and vaccines. Skipping vaccination means putting your child at risk of preventable illnesses. Your child’s life depends on you. Don’t let misinformation get them sick or killed.
