Very cheap rhetoric. There are no vaccines against the diseases that make up most of the burden of disease in the USA. Any evidence that JB is against vaccines?
Back in the day, we would call that vaccines and immunizations

The press kit is pretty, but it would be very helpful if you could include planned timings of the launch events (e.g. stage 2 cutoff at x minutes y seconds) and target perigee, apogee, inclination.

Nedenfor kan man sammenligne Norges støtte til Ukraina med Norges merinntekter som følge av krigen: Blå søyle: Hvor mye Norge har allokert i støtte til Ukraina siden 2022. Grønn, stablet søyle: Ulike anslag på hvor mye Norge hittil har hatt i merinntekter.
Du skal betale 36 000 kr. til Ukraina På regjeringens hjemmeside står det at Norge skal betale minimum 154,5 milliarder kroner til Ukraina frem til 2030. Hvor mange penger er 154,5 milliarder kroner? Et svar er at det er er omtrent 9 års bompenge-innbetalinger.

Her er den en person som har fått med seg hele sekvensen. Starship fra SpaceX mister delvis motorkraft, kommer i spinn og blir detonert av kontrollen på bakken. Imponerende kameraføring.

Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom. We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇

I question the risk communication (or the journalistic practice) in this interviw with @JeremyFarrar at @WHO. And there's an error in the stated period for the human cases. It should read from 2004, not from 2023. WHO's recent risk assessment is here: who.int/emergencies/disease-…

When Ukraine used the Patriot for the first time last week to intercept a Russian hypersonic missile, Russia was targeting the Patriot battery itself, two US officials tell @NatashaBertrand @OrenCNN.

BYPOL published a video, showing a drone entering the territory of Machulishchy airfield, landing on the “mushroom” of the Russian A-50U and flying away. It doesn’t show the moment of the attack. Judging by the weather, the video was taken a few days before the alleged attack.

This has important implications: #1 Trust was key for solving the pandemic but the pandemic eroded this critical resource, leaving societies less prepared for the next crisis. And the next crises are already here. 24/26
