Wow, it's almost as though "It doesn't stop infection. Or transmission. Don't think of it as a vaccine. Think of it -- at best -- as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. ..."
IDK who needs to hear this, but flu & COVID vaccines don’t make viruses vanish from existence. They ⬇️ your odds of severe illness, complications, hospitalizations, & coughing on the couch instead of being at work/school. Transmission reduction is a bonus, not the only point. 💉

To all the progressives fleeing @X, how in the world will you understand how half our country feels if you only congregate with the like-minded? That’s what got us into this mess in the first place. So stick around. Engage in some debate. Make your case. Learn different perspectives.

Anthony LaMesa has been 💯 right in almost every tweet about this election, since early 2023. Democrats should toss out their current analysts and hire Anthony for a 7-figure salary.
"Defund the police" and "Bidenomics" were both absolutely terrible political messaging. Unfortunately, Kamala was tied to both.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy. But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.

Good lord, YES
RFK Jr. Says he will advise Trump to ban Big Pharma advertisements on TV. Do you think this is a good idea?

This is an unlikely interpretation, because "the origins" clearly means "where the virus came from", not "when did the outbreak start". And China was perfectly happy to let western scientists check out the possibilites at the wet market and the bat caves. Just not WIV.

Harris: “He actually thanked President Xi for what he did during Covid… When we know that Xi was responsible for not giving us transparency about the origins of Covid.” This seems like Harris endorsing the lab leak theory. But I think probably she was talking about China’s overall unhelpful actions in the first phase of the pandemic, such as concealing the extent of the outbreak, etc, rather than referring to the “origin” of the virus itself. Either way, she is correct, in my opinion. But I just don’t think she was trying to make lab leak news.

This is terrifying.
Research shows that many people in the US are overwhelmed by the abundance of online health information, especially when they are already ill, have questions, and need to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones. So I’m thrilled to announce the launch of PfizerForAll, a userfriendly digital platform designed to simplify healthcare access and management for patients in the US. Patients can use PfizerForAll to connect with qualified healthcare professionals the same day, get prescriptions and diagnostic tests sent directly to your home or for pick up at a preferred pharmacy, schedule adult vaccination appointments and find financial support for @Pfizer medicines. As a company, we have been proud to call the US our home since our founding in New York 175 years ago. We developed PfizerForAll because we’re committed to helping patients, and we hope this platform helps improve the healthcare experience for our patients. Learn more about the platform: PfizerForAll.com

Dear PH “experts”, This thread illustrates why your choice to lie to the public about the severity of Covid, the effectiveness and necessity of ridiculous, performative “mitigations,” and the efficacy and risks of your rushed, mandated “vaccines” was a bad idea. You may have gained short-term compliance from the fearful but now you’re stuck answering for your ridiculous promises of “safety” in perpetuity because the neuroses you intentionally instilled in vulnerable people doesn’t disappear just because it no longer serves your ends. These people are obsessed and terrified — and you created them with your lies. Good luck with that.

But Democrats can actually DO something about the fact that their presumptive nominee is completely unfit to stand for President, namely get him to drop out and replace him. Dems can’t do anything about Trump. They’re (finally) acting rationally.
I understand that liberals THINK their panic over Biden is about Trump's unfitness, but they're NOT ACTUALLY TALKING about that. The entire story is about Biden. If you're worried about Trump, talk about Trump

This is it. Politicos exist in a state of eternal presentism. They see Biden’s debate meltdown as an isolated news cycle, not as a harbinger of a problem that will get worse and worse. For them the canary in the coal mine isn’t a warning. It’s just one dead bird to clean up.
