In 1988 the U.S. government wanted to know how strong reinforced concrete is, the very same stuff used in construction of nuclear reactor facilities, So they launched an F4 Phantom jet at 500 mph and slammed it head-on directly into a slab of concrete buff.ly/3vK1Fzj

Fleeing Kharkiv
Today we passed a long, long line of cars heading out of Ukraine’s second city, as families emerged from a week in underground bomb shelters, their nerves in shreds, hoping to find safety in another city

It’s amazing that 10 billion vaccine doses have been administered around the world.
It’s also extremely disappointing that 3 billion people still haven’t yet had access to a single dose.
Vaccine equity—or lack of it—will determine the pandemic’s future.

I dig reading old public-domain books from the 19th/18th centuries.
So I made a little search tool *specifically* for that
You type a query, it finds you one book that matches it -- and presents it for instant reading

This is simply not true. Vaccines for smallpox, later childhood vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, Hib (vaccines discovered in USA), preserved our nation. I’m aghast at the absence of intellectual curiosity or even passing interest in American 🇺🇸 history from our US Congress
