This is the power of vaccines. The development of the vaccine took a decade and its roll out took months. Fortune favors the prepared and those that support research and science.

The Covid vaccine was a MASSIVE
success during the pandemic.

Look how global deaths plummeted once the vaccines were rolled out at scale in early 2022!!

If you have not educated yourself on "Project 2025", please do. This is a good thread that gets at some of the basics and their implications for our society if enacted. This is not a drill.

[Emily Galvin-Almanza @GalvinAlmanza]

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.
