For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Update:

Maybe, maybe not. Read down to the replies.

1. I am literally at work right now

My hospital is drowning in Influenza A.

2. Teens die from Flu in San Diego County

3. Everything I know to be true--everything I have trained for and worked for my entire life...

is being systematically, chaotically dismantled, destroyed, devalued, and corrupted.

I cannot help but be devastated. I can only wish the very worst that can happen to all who are responsible. I won't be the one to do it, but may whatever Karmic force come and deliver justice.

9. I know exactly what you mean-- the work & hopes of a lifetime are in tatters. Did you see this article?...

Will Bunch: Children of the 1960s watch in pain as the story of our lifetime is erased

Will Bunch said what I have been struggling to express since Dobbs, and he says it so well. All we can do is hold on to each other.

4. It is still there

7. Reply to you (Pris) and Silent Type:

I can't explain. Maybe the Bluesky person caught the page as it was being updated.

The page she went to was

https://www.cdc.gov/flu-resources/php/shareable-resources/index.html

Maybe that's no good anymore, and the page you visited is the replacement site.

My bad, possibly. I'll see what gives with this.

Thanks for keeping me up to date.

5. Just went to CDC.gov. Plenty of vaccination info and promotions. I'll check again tomorrow.

6. Many people - 10's or 100's of thousands - will die, and pharma will crash land.

Think of the fallout. Deaths, a whole system to prevent suffering decimated. Manufacturers. Research.

The greatest science fiction writers couldn't have cooked this up.

8. Trump and his henchmen are conducting a campaign of extermination.

The plan is to kill off the old, the sick, the poor and everyone else taking up space in their Billionaire's Utopia.

10. Antivax politics--there is no better example of the American death drive.

How many did we lose to Covid, something like 1,000,000+?! Apparently, that 's not good enough. And I'm now beginning to believe the conspiracy theorists when they talk about how "the man" (i.e. billionaire tech-bros) wants to kill off all the little people.
