Apparently these words from the Pope have been quite controversial. I’m feeling no lies detected about this load. Let’s see some follow through.

A Pope preaching about helping the poor and eliminating violence and excessive wealth, and saving the earth? Sounds vaguely like a certain carpenter who sacrificed his life for the human race (in Christianity, anyway) …. Honestly it’s frustrating that Catholics would freak out about it since it’s literally exactly what the Pope SHOULD be saying.

I’m sure his family is grateful they were able to keep it quiet to have some time with him. NBC was reporting that he had multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that made him immunocompromised.

Colin Powell died of COVID complications at age 84. (His family said he was fully vaxxed.) Fully vaxxed, but immune compromised due to his previous cancer An important caveat that is magically missing from a lot of the reporting.

I'm watching the ABC News special report with Chris Steele and they decided to let Sarah Flores participate in this. Sarah Flores was the spokesperson for DONALD TRUMP'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
COME ON.

I will also add that it is clear here in Portugal that fully vaxxed hasn't stopped all deaths. We have something like 95% of adults ( and 12+) fully vaxxed. However, with a Delta, deaths haven't stopped. Cases are a few hundred a day, and a handful of deaths a day still. The vast majority are over 80. That seems to be a big drop off in lingering immunity at that age. Likely from the increased chance of having a comorbidity.

I don’t go on the politics board but I came over to see if there was any discussion of Colin Powell’s passing. So Hi! 👋 A very good friend of my H passed away recently from Covid. He was fully vaxxed but had lymphoma and a weakened immune system from chemo treatments. It’s so sad and very scary,

oldmama82 I'm so sorry for YH's loss. Every story I hear is so devastating, regardless of age, vax status, or anything really. There's just so many senseless deaths. Also, hi!! It's nice having new people pop in

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Monday said it would require chemical manufacturers to test and publicly report the amount of a family of chemicals known as PFAS that is contained in household items like tape, nonstick pans and stain-resistant furniture, the first step toward reducing their presence in drinking water. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, or PFAS refers to more than 4,000 man-made chemicals that are often called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment. Exposure to the chemicals has been linked to certain cancers, weakened immunity, thyroid disease, and other health effects. A Move to Rein In Cancer-Causing ‘Forever Chemicals’ nyti.ms/2XmRqTI

Asked if the administration will use DPA to compel Moderna to increase production of vaccines to distribute to nations with fewer means, Jen says they don't have the legal ability to compel production but they've been clear with Miderna that they strongly oppose the slow pace of production

Most of the dems want to make the child tax credit permanent, because you 3 mil children lifted out of poverty.
Manchin thinks that there needs to be an income cap and work requirement in order to do that. because hes an asshole
