A total game changer in cancer prevention. A single-dose HPV schedule could transform HPV-related cancer prevention especially in places where every dose is hard-won. This is a win for girls and boys, for equity, and for the protection of our future generations around the world.

A massive study of 28 MILLION French adults just delivered some of the strongest evidence to date - mRNA vaccines do not increase long-term mortality. In fact, 4-year all-cause deaths were lower among the vaccinated.

For the first time this century, global child mortality is rising - not for lack of proven scientific solutions, but because the systems and funding streams that deliver them are being dismantled.

Perhaps our failure to recognise that Cøvid is an immune poison with cumulative damage and very unkind to the immature system of kids should be re-considered, @DrCatharineY "Omicron is mild" - Up there with the earth is flat 🤬

I'm not an economist. I'm a Marxist. I don't study 'the economy'. I study capitalism, a social system in which the wealthy & their political allies - like Rory & Alastair - control the resources everyone else needs to survive. If they approved of me, I wouldn't be doing my job.
Rory Stewart said he was "horrified" at Zack Polanski's economics after interviewing the Green party leader with Alastair Campbell on their podcast, The Rest Is Politics: Leading. On Novara Live, @AaronBastani and @Kieran_Andrieu dissected Stewart's own economic legacy as part

And the problem is that today's Russia is travelling in the opposite direction, from democracy to autocracy and from coexistence to aggression. This is the fundamental problem, that today's Russia is more repressive and more aggressive than the Soviet Union in the 1970s (3/3).

@OUDaily She turned in a Bible sermon instead of an essay and failed. Now conservatives say she’s the victim. https://t.co/h32S0ZPXEt

Samantha Fulnecky’s Bible-filled essay earned her a failing grade. After whining to Republican leaders, the University of Oklahoma is caving to her demands.

@OUDaily Slanted as usual, the graduate instructor failed the student because she did not use proper citations, did not follow instructions and contradicted herself in the paper. The student earned the grade she received.

@OUDaily Her essay sucked! It did not follow the rubric and she did not cite her sources. Written like a 7th grader and not a college student. Crying discrimination when there was none. BTW..Mom is a podcaster who was quick to get publicity for this nonsense. Do the right thing OU!

@OUDaily Well, thank God. What in heaven's name are they doing punishing a grad student assistant teacher for grading a paper properly?! @UofOklahoma is a disgrace as an academic institution.

@OUDaily She didn’t cite the Bible. Citing the Bible would be more like “Exodus 21:7–11 discusses fathers selling their daughters as brides as a cultural gender norm and I’m wondering why my father hasn’t sold me yet.”

@g_clark_sporto @kortizart @OUDaily Mentioning something casually isn’t the same as academically citing it. If the citation isn’t formatted properly with the required details it doesn’t count. It’s as stupid as saying ‘I heard somewhere that…’.”

@OUDaily Hello Professor Cedric Tolliver, I have spent many years testing hundreds of books with students to produce English curricula. I have chosen these books and resources because they are exceptional for teaching English and the language of literature. I read everything out loud
