As winter virus activity picks up, CDC warns of 'urgent need' to boost vaccine coverage
Rising rates of flu, Covid and RSV prompted the agency to urge clinicians to push for more vaccinations.

Not enough Americans are being vaccinated against Covid, the flu and RSV to stem rising numbers of the respiratory illnesses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

The agency issued a health alert to doctors across the country, warning that low vaccination rates amid "ongoing increases in national and international respiratory disease activity" could strain U.S. health care systems in the coming weeks, and called on doctors to encourage their patients to get the shots immediately to protect them for the remainder of the season.

"In the past 4 weeks, hospitalizations among all age groups increased by 200% for influenza, 51% for Covid-19, and 60% for RSV," the CDC said in its health alert...

People who have been hospitalised with flu are at an increased risk of longer-term health problems, similar to those with long Covid, data suggests.

By the way, do you want to talk about where RSV came from and why it didn't infect humans until 1957?

North Korea's Kim Jong Un preparing for war − citing 'unprecedented' US behavior

Kim, speaking at a 2024 planning meeting Wednesday of his ruling Workers' Party, said an in-depth analysis indicated the "severe political and military situation" on the Korean peninsula had "reached its limit," the state-run news agency reported Thursday. The news agency said the military-industrial sector, nuclear weapons sector and civil defense sector were urged to "further accelerate the completion of preparations for this war."

Does the Pentagon pay these article writers $10 every time they write "Iran-backed?"

Maybe it's possible Houthis are just larcenous assholes and Yemen is like, "Whatever. So long as these pirates pay their utilities on time."

Why does everything require a reference to Iran? <---- that's a rhetorical question, fyi. Military Industrial Complex out front should have told ya.

Horrible and embarrassingly ignorant take. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The civil war in Yemen is a proxy war between Saudi and Iranian backed factions. This isn't breaking news.

South Korea evacuates islands after North Korea fires more than 200 artillery rounds nearby

SEOUL — North Korea fired more than 200 artillery rounds into the sea on Friday near a tensely defended maritime border with South Korea, a military official said, while residents of two South Korean islands were ordered to evacuate due to an unknown “situation.”

The defense ministry would not confirm if the order was prompted by the North’s artillery firing or South Korean drills in response.

However, a text message sent to residents and confirmed by an island official cited “naval fire” to be conducted by South Korean troops from 3 p.m.(0600 GMT) Friday.

An official on Yeonpyeong island, which sits just south of the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL) sea border, said the evacuation was ordered at the request of the South Korean military.

"Backed by..." is a pretty murky descriptor. It gets thrown around whenever we need to "other" a group. If Iran = bad/evil/scary, then Iran-backed = bad/evil/scary. Plus the houthis are pirating assholes and if Iran is friends with them, that must make Iran even more worser. It's manipulation and I can prove it.

Venezuela is about to yoink 2/3 of Guyana in a land grab that's sketchy as fuck but you never hear CNN or the Daily Mail write, "US-backed Venezuela is seizing 2/3 of a sovereign nation." Why not? Venezuela is backed by the US and Venezuela is absolutely fucking over Guyana. Why not put the two facts together in a single sentence? Because it doesn't benefit the globalist fuckwads in the MIC, that's why. We aren't going to war against Venezuela so there's no reason to villify them. The MIC needs The West to fear Russia, Iran and China so we'll knee-jerk support any military action against those governments of their allies. It's the George Bush "Axis of Evil" argument all over again. Apparently, the manipulation is working. At least, it's effective when used on morons.

Disclaimer: Iran's government -as presently constituted- is a threat and Obama's "Nuke Deal" is going to destabilize the world. My take is not meant to make light of the Iran threat, but I am pointing out the absurdity that is Media phrasing.

You might want to Google “Shia vs Sunni.”

Sayin’

Houthi just happens to be Shia. Saudi is Sunni, as is 65% of Yemen. You don’t think Iran is capable of carrying out a proxy war in the area. Take your head out of your ass for just a few minutes and come down from your globalism conspiracies. There are other factors at work that don’t lead back to the “MIC.”

The Saudi-backed Yemeni government and Iran-aligned Houthis have both committed to steps toward a cease-fire, the U.N. special envoy for Yemen said Saturday.

Soon after exploding in 2014, Yemen’s conflict turned into a proxy war between Saudi Arabia, which led a military coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government, and Iran, which has aided the country’s Houthi rebels.

Iran strikes targets in northern Iraq and Syria as regional tensions escalate

IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Iran said late Monday it had launched strikes against a “spy headquarters and gathering of anti-

semi-autonomous Kurdish region.

The security council of the Kurdish regional government said in a statement that four civilians were killed and six
injured in the strikes...

That little psycho POS will ignite the world. If he doesn’t, his sister will. Their family’s total failure at providing a decent standard of living for their people is fucking criminal. If anyone should suffer, it’s his crew.

[That little psycho POS'] family’s total failure at providing a decent standard of living for their people is fucking criminal. If anyone should suffer, it’s his crew.

I'll split a hair with you on this. Government's responsibility is to ensure stability and security. A "level playing field," if you will. Providing a "decent standard of living" is the responsibility of individuals and families working hard within a framework that government does not really provide, but protects.

Communism, by definition, cannot provide a decent standard of living. Has never done so in the history of history, I don't care what Screw_Michigan's Twitter feed says. So the failure of the Un family is not in being good communists "providing a decent standard of living" but in being Communists in the first place.

It's a thin thread of distinction, I know. I warned you I was splitting a hair.

Born in South Carolina. That’s not a natural born citizen?

[Softball Bat]

Her parents were not citizens at the time of her birth in the U.S.

She is not a natural born citizen because it required a positive act of law (naturalization act) to grant her citizenship, as opposed to those who are born of two U.S. citizen parents and are of course immediately natural born citizens.

The term "natural born citizen" that occurs in the U.S. Constitution came from the Law of Nations, which defines the "naturals" as I have above.

Damnit. Poptart, that is simply wrong.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

If you're born in this country, then you're a citizen.
