Disappearing humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism. Trafficking humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism. MAGA supports this. MAGA craves this. We are not going to change hearts and minds. We. Are. Not. Resist this regime.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots

The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.
