The Matildas have sold more jerseys ahead of the FIFA Women's World Cup™️ than the Socceroos managed during and since the men's tournament last year 🇦🇺

But wait for the best bit...

Kids kits are 'far outselling' adult kits 🥺

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.

The return of vaccine-preventable diseases will be felt predominantly not by the spreaders of misinformation or profiteers but by the most vulnerable in our society, like the children of those who trusted the wrong people or patients on immunosuppression.

[Pierre Deep Sea @pgirguis]

As far as I'm concerned, this will never ever stop being funny. 😂

[Edward Nirenberg 🇺🇦 @ENirenberg]

Good lord- RFK Jr. claimed on Rogan’s podcast that there is good evidence that the flu vaccine caused the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. Slight problem with that claim: influenza had not even been identified until the 1930s and a flu vaccine wasn’t available to the public until 1945.

Do you like your covid-19 vaccines to give you a good dose of neutralising antibodies? You should because we've shown they correlate not only with protection from symptomatic but also severe disease! Another great collab with ⁦@DebCro⁩ https://t.co/1BEZACwiYX
