Ik heb dit fragment niet uit kunnen kijken zonder tranen. De aanmoediging, de rust en het vertrouwen, de ruimte die gegeven wordt. Geen afwijzing. Maar ook de moed die Leo vond om vervolgens een zeer sterk geformuleerde vraag te stellen.. alles hieraan raakt me.

De "dapperen" overschatten zichzelf, er zijn veel minder Galileo's en Semmelweis's dan ze zouden willen. Om een verschil te maken zullen de "dapperen" de anderen moeten zien te overtuigen met onderbouwde argumenten, zonder liegen of bedriegen. Dapperheid alleen volstaat niet.

"er zijn nog genoeg mythes en leugens rondom vaccins om te ontkrachten. Nu DKTP en HPV besproken zijn is het tijd voor de BMR vaccinatie (bof, mazelen, rode hond). Omdat mazelen momenteel veel in het nieuws is, begin ik hiermee"

A post for International Women's Day

"Being embarrassed about periods, taboos for women talking about them, men not wanting to know, has all stopped us researching & treating it. It's wasting women's potential. Too little has changed in 50 YEARS. This has to stop"

"AI-generated content is a perversion of creation."

It's a very strong claim that @andyperfors.bsky.social is making here, yet his arguments resonate with me.

A worthwhile long-form read.

Long-term vaccination effects. It is strange to see the messages about not knowing the long-term effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. We do, and yes, of course, there are long-term consequences. 1/10

De zin en onzin over mazelen. Met alle onzin die er de laatste tijd over rondging vind ik het tijd voor een nieuwe vaccinatieverhalen. Dus voila. Want het is echt geen simpele kinderziekte. Lees en leer er alles over via dit blog.

mRNA vaccines have been shown to give a very good response, with reactogenicity sometimes heavy. A recent paper indicated the existence of frameshifts with alternative protein/peptides. This is an existing principle that happens with our mRNA as well as from pathogens. 1/9

People in Europe shouldn't carry the brunt of the fossil fuels crisis in their bills and in the increasing costs of life.

The solution is in our homes: energy-efficient buildings can save money and tackle the climate crisis.

My heart breaks, seeing this poor child, the condition it is in.

My heart breaks, thinking of the intentions, motivations, actions that lead to this.

My heart breaks, no child should suffer this misery.

I cannot avoid my heart breaking, I am only human.

This is an entirely informative and accurate response. Batches of medicine, including vaccines, are tested prior to release. It explains the manufacturing process and that the level of contaminants was tested and is below the allowed limits. Well done @TGAgovau
