@Mimiiben1 7+ square root of 9 which is 3 so 10 divided by 2. 10/2=5. 1970s old new math.

@katiewr31413491 @AgeofAutism Hannah’s injury was chalked-up to a genetic mitochondrial issue, when antibiotics cause damage to mitochondria even per Merck childhood vaccine research, and microbiota regulate mitochondrial gene expression

@AgeofAutism I met w/USNA alum Capt. McCain in DC Senate Bldg in 2000. He promised US would never indemnify Phrma losses for any Court actions. Nor meddle. We sued vax makers in 2002. We were royally screwed over w/ 'Lilly Rider." stooping us cold. He forgot about the other 99 "yes men."

@flyybyme @welliver_titus I adored every iteration of Bosch starting with the books. Titus brought the character to life perfectly. No easy feat. Talking to you Ann "Steph Plum" Hathaway.

Bad guy!!! We saw LA and said, "Send Bosch!" And there you are. Dark Winds! @welliver_titus

This is when I fully divorced Sesame Street. We watch vintage only 2005 and before.

“Big Bird got his COVID-19 vaccine today! My wings are a little sore, but it’ll be OK. I got the shot so I can keep my friends and family safe.”

Big Bird is a giant yellow Muppet character created for children’s television with zero medical, scientific, epidemiological, or public health qualifications - just a beloved puppet used by Sesame Workshop to deliver public health messaging to kids and parents.

In November 2021, Sesame Street / Big Bird launched a high-profile campaign announcing the character’s vaccination, complete with stories about telling “Granny Bird,” aimed at normalizing shots for young children amid the rollout for 5–11 year olds.

The effort drew praise from public health officials and heavy promotion across media.

Using a trusted, child-friendly icon to soften kids and families toward experimental shots (at a time when long-term data was limited) while real-world debates raged over mandates, school policies, and parental consent.

Real-world damage included politicizing children’s programming and contributing to the cultural pressure that made questioning any aspect of the campaign feel like attacking “Big Bird” himself.

Even the biggest bird on Sesame Street got drafted into the compliance campaign.

@katiewr31413491 To quote Aerosmith, it's the same old story, the same old song and dance, my friend." Not even your parents could crack the Tephlon (sic) protection.

They gaslight women as a practice. It's unholy.

'@AmerAcadPeds actually trains us on how to deflect when parents think that their child’s having a vaccine reaction ... We’re supposed to deflect and tell them those are unrealistic fears and that it’s just coincidence that this happened after the vaccine.'

Same for autism families. We save the system billions. Do NOT cut parental pay!!!!!

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Every American deserves the opportunity to age with dignity. At @InnovAge in Thornton, Colorado, I met seniors who are building friendships, receiving high-quality care, and remaining in their homes instead of nursing facilities. This is a model of healthcare that strengthens communities while delivering better outcomes.

Never for nothing or we all go insane.

@AgeofAutism He was a good man and I hung the moon and the stars on him and the Autism research Institute in the early 90's. I printed out reams of his papers and carried them in a folder trying to sway physicians and to warn other parents. All for nothing.

@linadreaamy It's a pattern. 3+3=6 x3 = 18 4+4=8 x 4= 32 7+7=14 x7 = 98

Dr Bernie Rimland tried to wrestle autism away from psychiatry into a actual medical care. Their stranglehold is behind the epidemic. They blamed women - their modus diagnosis in many ways since. They branded us "refrigerators" & when we begged for a review of vaccine injury they called is antivaxxers and worse.

Injections are her faaaaaayvorite. She heeds the pharma Sirens' call. Look at her Ozempic face at The Odyssey press.

“Get vaccinated… it’s the only way we beat this.”

Charlize Theron is an Oscar-winning actress and global celebrity with zero medical, scientific, epidemiological, or public health qualifications.

Her expertise is in acting and activism - no clinical training to lecture millions on personal medical decisions.

She used her massive platform in 2021-2022 to promote vaccination, shame hesitancy, and normalize compliance among her international fanbase.

Her celebrity influence helped amplify the cultural pressure that fed mandates and ostracism.

This A-list star, with elite healthcare, private resources, and the luxury of a flexible career, preached duty to everyday people facing job threats and restrictions.

Her messaging fed the coercion machine from a position of zero personal risk.

An Oscar-winning actress with no medical degree turning red carpets into mandate rallies - because nothing says “powerful woman” like shaming the unvaccinated while living in a bubble of exemptions.

[Age of Autism @AgeofAutism]

Love this. We understand the passion, commitment and undying love for our children. Amazing. At the same time, look at what she had to improvise to support her son. Tattooing herself. We wrote about this on Monday. The unending demands we face. The lack of systems. It's not right. https://t.co/bbADOI0NNN

Just look to the root of hysterectomy. And hysteria.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

Why would we be prescribing SSRI drugs to women at double the rate of men? When women interface with the medical system & express their emotions in a vulnerable moment many feel coerced into taking an SSRI. As if that vulnerable moment indicates they are "mentally ill". Is anybody else concerned about this?

Earlier this week, I stood in the card section of my grocery store, looking at the display for “Daughter.” Every card for an adult mentioned what should have been her future. Her now. Every card broke my heart. 

By Kim Rossi
My middle daughter turns 30 this weekend. She was born like she lives each day; in a hurry! She came so fast that the nurses had to call the doctor back from his house (he lived in my Doylestown, Pennsylvania neighborhood two minutes from the hospital and had gone home thinking he had time before I delivered.) The nurses told me to “blow out birthday candles” to stave off the overwhelming command to push her out. Thirty years ago. She was born healthy, great APGAR scores, beautiful. She nursed easily in the hospital. What joy!
Then, I signed a piece of paper authorizing a Hepatitis B vaccine. I have the form. I can’t look at it, let alone photograph and post it. “Hep B is standard procedure, Kim.”
OK.
Not OK.
The infant I brought home was not OK. She stopped latching properly. She bit me bloody at every feeding. She screamed a high pitched, keening cry that raised the hair on the back of my neck. I didn’t know what I was hearing. But I knew it was wrong. Different. I did not want to use a pacifier. Hadn’t for my first daughter, a quiet gem of a baby. But for Miss G? I had to soothe her any way possible. The pacifier was useless.
We’ll celebrate her with cake and candles and all the birthday trimmings. And I will never stop trying to tell other parents that Standard Procedure is no such thing.
Happy Birthday, Miss G! I love you. MOM
