New lung cancer “vaccine” goes on trial in the #UK. It uses mRNA technology. #Cancer vaccines are often tailored to the person, and they are given only to people with the targeted disease.

That’s probably true across the board, but it’s irrelevant to what people have said in the thread, which is that age 50+ doesn’t seem to be a hard requirement in the US to get the vaccine.

This is an important point. Also, you don’t have to go to the doctor to get it. You might have to make an appt with a local pharmacy.

"Shingles is a painful and potentially serious illness that can arise in people over the age of 50. Although most people recover from a shingles attack within one year, approximately one in five people will end up with post-herpetic neuralgia, which can last weeks, months, or years. These sequelae include vision damage or blindness (which are permanent), lasting pain that can be quite severe, scarring, and more. (2/4)

Shingrix is not only good to protect you from nerve-eating Shingles (chicken pox) as an older person, but it also offers some protection against dementia.
"Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox, a common childhood illness. After recovery, VZV quietly hides in the nervous system for decades, but can re-emerge to cause shingles when the immune system is compromised or due to age or stress. (1/4)

‘The X account for the White Dudes for Harris campaign group was suspended on Monday, apparently just minutes after its debut fundraising event raised $4 million for Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential bid.
Asked on his personal X account why the organization, which boasted over 13,000 X followers, was blocked, organizer Ross Morales Rocketto responded, simply, “Got Elon Musk scared.”’

Obviously the company ignored that and then intentionally didn’t PS1 and PS2 test this update at all.
How can anyone trust them again? Once they make a massive error a MONTH ago and do nothing to change the testing process and then proceed to harm patients by taking down Emergency Rooms and Operating Rooms?
As a sysadmin for 35 years this is the biggest disaster to healthcare I have ever seen. The cost of recovery is astronomical. Who is going to pay for it?" (2/2)

This whole page of #crowdstrike fallout on Reddit is eye opening.

Near the bottom is the crux of the biscuit:

"At the end of June, 3 weeks ago, Crowdstrike sent a corrupted definition that hung the 100,000 computers and servers at 90% CPU and took multiple 10 Minute reboots to recover.
We told them then they need to TEST their files before deploying. (1/2)

AOC:
If you're a "senior Democrat" that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire.
Jake Tapper:
A senior House Democrat tells Axios: "We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."

After DeSantis (FL gov) removed worker protections for heat on the job, this is a breath of fresh air.
Even as OSHA and EPA, and other government bodies that protect people are being stripped away by the Supreme Court’s government-destroying rulings, Biden steps in to make new laws to protect workers.

“No population has ever achieved herd immunity to a virus through natural infection alone.”
True for HIV, SarsCoV2, and still true for H5N1.
And yet many people still cling to this simplistic idea, largely because so many non-experts with microphones repeat it.

Heads up, Zoom users. Opt out now from their AI services if you want to. In July they will be on by default. Link to the web settings where you can do this: https://zoom.us/account/setting?tab=aicompanion
Edit: this is the dot-us domain URL. In other countries look for “AI companion in your _web_ settings for Zoom. They hide all the advanced settings there.
From the app, look for Advanced in your Settings, then log in on the website.

After a positive test, you have to have a PCR Test negative to return to work. The White House admitted quietly on CSPAN that the protections were still in place in July of 2023 when an Israeli delegation was not admitted after testing positive for COVID, after claiming with much fanfare the prior April that the pandemic was over and that it was safe to return to work….” (3/4)

“the White House has maintained the very strictest abatements to protect people who live and work there from the virus: In order to enter the White House, they have to have had no symptoms for 14 days, the latest booster vaccinations up-to-date, and a negative rapid test. They have nine or better fresh air exchanges per hour and all filters are upgraded to MERV 13. They have also installed 220 nanometer Germicidal UV lamps. (2/4)
