This one looks like it might be real . Toyota has put in a great deal of money , I doubt they would do that if it wasn’t real .

The new 2018-2019 flu vaccines are out and available . So I got a jab in the arm the day before yesterday .

www.cdc.gov/...

When should I get vaccinated?

You should get a flu vaccine before flu begins spreading in your community. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body, so make plans to get vaccinated early in fall, before flu season begins. CDC recommends that people get a flu vaccine by the end of October. Getting vaccinated later, however, can still be beneficial and vaccination should continue to be offered throughout flu season, even into January or later.

Dengue fever threat looms in Philippines amid vaccine fears and deadly measles outbreak

Again, children are vulnerable and those who have been infected by dengue previously run a higher risk of dying from a second bite from an Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits the virus. Complicating matters, Weiler says, is a controversy surrounding the Dengvaxia dengue vaccine, the world’s first, produced by French manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur.

The health department and public health advocates in the Philippines blamed the recent measles outbreak on a massive health scare over Dengvaxia, the once-promising dengue vaccine introduced by the government three years ago. The Dengvaxia dengue vaccine is thought to have caused 10 deaths, and has convinced Filipino parents not to give their children a measles shot despite the recent outbreak.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/…

Dengue virus (DENV) is the most important arbovirus among humans. With around half the world population at risk and recent estimates of about 60–100 million symptomatic infections per year,¹^,² DENV imposes a substantial burden to communities and health systems in most tropical and subtropical countries.³^–⁶ Dengue can be caused by any of four viral serotypes (DENV 1–4); symptoms range from asymptomatic or mild febrile illness to severe dengue and, in some cases, death.⁷^,⁸

Malaria Vaccine .

Today health officials are making history. They're rolling out the first approved vaccine aimed at stopping a human parasite. It's for malaria — and the hopes are that one day the vaccine could save the lives of tens of thousands of children each year.

Some 360,000 children a year in three African countries will receive the world's first malaria vaccine as part of a large-scale pilot project, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday.

I was asked by my boss at the time to help a friend of his move out of his apartment . I had an empty VW van at the time and I thought why not . We were in his apartment moving his stuff and he came out of the bedroom with a big handgun , he pointed it right at my head , held it there pointing at me , he was being a real asshole . I don’t know what year that was , I don’t know what building it was , I don’t know for sure what neighborhood it was in , but the image of him and that gun isn’t fading away . His name was patrick or that was the name he went by at the time . He ran an art framing shop . I told some and they responded with the suggestion / complaint that I should have called the cops .

Back in 2012 I put together a little diary showing the bump fire . Some of you might not know of the bump fire the killer used to kill and wound so many in such a short amount of time . So here is a link to that diary .

www.dailykos.com/…

I had hoped then that good upstanding gun owners would do everything they could to get this thing removed from the market . I’m hoping now that it will be removed from the market and that all units will be recalled / bought and destroyed . Its now obviously a problem that can’t be overlooked . It must be dealt with . They are not for hunting or for home defense .

Donald Trump makes top Republican fear environmental future
By Roger Harrabin BBC environment analyst

2 January 2017

"I worry terribly for the future of my family and families round the world because Mother Nature has never observed geopolitical boundaries and what one country does really does affect another country.

"To walk away from something where you have 97% of scientists saying this is occurring and people have an impact on it … it's gotten to the point where we've got to try to slow it down if we're going to survive it."

Ex-EPA head: Trump team asking for lists of climate policy staffers ‘scares me’
The Trump team’s request for the Energy Department to name climate change experts sends a chilling message, ex-EPA chief Christine Todd Whitman told DW. She also detailed her concerns about Trump’s Russia stance.

Climate change : The trump card

……………………..

Christine Todd Whitman led the EPA under George W. Bush from 2001 until her resignation in 2003 over demands by Vice President Dick Cheney to loosen air pollution rules. Before that Whitman, a Republican, served as the first female governor of New Jersey from 1994 until 2001.
