In Scotland 🏴, researchers found zero cervical cancer cases among women fully vaccinated against HPV at age 12–13.
ZERO
Quacks have promised a cancer-preventing miracle for centuries.
Scientists quietly built a real one.

The HPV vaccine is DEMOLISHING cervical cancer rates
At this pace it could wipe the disease out entirely.
A vaccine that prevents cancer is a genuine medical miracle!
HHS Secretary RFK Jr opposes it

ALT Dog Aging Project publication graphic: Epigenetic aging and transposon dysregulation reflect size-related lifespan compression in dogs by Blaise L. Mariner et al. Published: October 8, 2026, and DOI: 10.1126/science.aeb2986, with an image of Figure 1, an infographic titled “Dog Aging Project” showing how epigenetic clocks predict age and mortality, with diagrams about survival vs. time, demographics affecting aging (size, sex), and gene methylation changes (promoters, LINE elements) across dog breeds
Yet another insane and xenophobic effort to destroy our role as a world leader in science.

A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

..unnecessarily strict and consider a 3 yr vaccine to only be effective for 1 yr (since it's typically a 3 yr vaccine as the 2nd dose, a year after the 1st). We're trying to get more flexibility there though.

Zero.

In a study of 1 901 815 cancer patients, those who chose alternative medicine had a 2-fold greater risk of death compared with patients who had no alternative medicine use.
And it’s probably because they refused conventional care: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Anyone who's fearful or anxious about cancer today, & being persuaded to avoid hospitals, oncologists & chemotherapy in favour of expensive 'alternative therapies' - PLEASE see this list of fake cancer cures including dangerous adverse effects.

Of all RFK Jr's anti science crap..this for me is one of the very very worst
The HPV vaccine is on the way to ELIMINATING CERVICAL CANCER in many countries
And he wants to stop it
For him..even cervical cancer is better than a vaccine
Sick
RFK Jr.: "Gardasil is probably the single worst mass vaccine that we've ever seen. This vaccine targets millions of preteens and teens for whom the risk of dying from cervical cancer is zero. Nobody in their right mind would ever take this vaccine if they actually read the clinical literature."
"Death rates in the Gardasil trials were 37 times the death rates for cervical cancer. Children who take that vaccine, the Gardasil vaccine, are 37 times more likely to die from the vaccine than they are to die from cervical cancer. The problem with Gardasil, like most vaccines, is it was never tested against a true placebo, an inert placebo."
"And the CDC and HHS say, if you don't test it against a true placebo, it's not science. You have no way of gauging whether the injuries you're seeing from the product are being caused by that product, or whether they're just bad, sad coincidences. The entity that is actually performing the study is, and paying for the study, is Merck."
"Merck got to decide which injuries were being caused by Gardasil and which were just bad coincidences. And because it had that power, it just wrote them all off as bad coincidences."
"You can do that when there's no placebo, because the injuries they were seeing in the control group, where the girls were getting aluminum neurotoxins, were identical to the injuries they were getting in the Gardasil group."
"So they said, well, we don't have to report any of these as vaccine injuries. They were able to license something that is insanely dangerous."

No evidence whatsoever for this nonsense - and the animals look distressed. #SinghBCA
Watch the cat’s ears. That’s when you know it worked.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ear twitching or movements during cat manipulations typically signal stress, agitation or normal reflexes, not successful adjustment. Chiropractic lacks scientific evidence of efficacy or safety for cats and risks harm.

Look, 200,000-300,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives during the Covid pandemic bc they succumbed to a vast health disinformation campaign and reckless statements (like yours claiming they are not vaccines). There are rare side effects, but Covid vaccines overall had an excellent safety record and they saved millions of lives in North America. Also our low-cost version saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Thanks for the question.

Trump wants children to get more shots, which means more doctor’s visits. While this may be profitable for pediatricians, we want what is best for children’s health based on evidence and not our pocketbooks. #Ivax2protect
