Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.  Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly. The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S. This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  “What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

i love how cats use their little walnut brains to go, "hm. it appears mother is moving very quickly and carrying many things. i bet it would be very helpful if i got right in front of her feet. this will make everything work more smoothly and won't lead to mother almost launching herself down the stairs to avoid kicking me. i am so good at plans."

When you mention that children have been entertained by drag since forever and you use Mrs Doubtfire as an example, bigots will often say that that's different because that's for comedic purposes, not to promote it.

In that case, they're clearly admitting that "it's sexualizing children" is a bullshit excuse. If drag was sexual content, it would be inappropriate for children regardless of the purpose. Showing porn to a child would be inappropriate regardless of whether you were saying "this is funny" or "this should be encouraged". If you're okay with something being shown to children for the purpose of ridiculing it but not for the purpose of promoting it, your problem with it isn't that you believe it's sexual. Your problem with it is that you don't like it so you want to ban it.

This is the sort of extremism that breeds violence. And I would fully support it. Were I a citizen of Arizona, I would proudly participate.

More important is a list of those who WILL support him. They are also unfit for office.
