No, @…, emphasizing the safety of vaccines is not a strawman. For everlasting fuck’s sake.
Come back to planet Earth, where:
- scare-mongering about vaccines is running rampant,
- right-wing propaganda is intentionally fueling that fear for profiteering and political gain,
- parents are very clearly afraid of the vaccines themselves right now,
- diseases like measles are making a return because of that fear, and
- people are dying as a result.
Your post is a non-sequitur. Whatever stick you have up your butt about lockdowns or whatever this post was about, please keep that stick in your butt and out of vaccine safety discussions. https://mastodon.online/@dennmans/115631732594437886

I’ve always wanted to live through a major geologic event. I missed the Zanclean Flood, the filling of the Black Sea, and the glacial outbreak of Lake Bonneville, but hopefully NatGeo or someone will get some cameras out to that Hell-on-Earth location. It could be really big…

NASA’s #Carruthers Geocorona Observatory has also achieved its target orbit, positioning the spacecraft to capture the first repeated observations of the ultraviolet glow from Earth’s outer atmosphere, the geocorona: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/carruthers-geocorona-observatory/2026/01/12/nasas-carruthers-geocorona-observatory-reaches-target-orbit/ - the achievement was confirmed following its third and final orbital maneuver, a 2-minute thruster fire, on Jan. 8; the spacecraft has now entered its intended halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, a position of gravitational balance approximately 1 million miles from Earth.

VILA: Tell that to Servalan. They don't take kindly to scrumping on Kairos.

"Now is not the time for self-indulgent rehearsals of criticisms of the Venezuelan government’s alleged failings, as if attempting to steer a socialist course while facing relentless economic warfare from the most powerful country on Earth were ever likely to be straightforward."

KERRIL: Right. What are you expecting him to do?
VILA: I'm expecting him to try and kill us.
