| Vaccines Have Saved 101 Million Infants In 50 Years, Europe Needs To Let That Happen In Agriculture Too |
In the last 50 years, vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, 146 million kids under 5 years, and 101 million infants, according to this World Health Organisation report. They translate that to over 10 billion years of health gained and 52% of those child lives were in Africa, since the Expanded Programme on Immunization began in May of 1974.
It is a shame Europe wants to block Africa from the same health benefits in agriculture.

| EPA Debunks Environmentalist Claims That Acephate Causes Autism |
The Biden EPA has let scientists win over environmental epidemiology claims just this once. They have debunked claims that acephate 'causes' autism.
Anti-science activists have long claimed everything causes autism and a whole spectrum of 'neurodevelopmental disorders' that covers 85 percent of the world. Vaccines were the big one for 25 years, every kids get vaccines so that is a huge class-action settlement for lawyers, but then Republicans decided they wanted to be anti-vaccine for a little while so the anti-science left had to scramble for something new.

| Despite Little Demand, 2024 Electric Car Sales Will Be Up To 17 Million, Says Advocacy Group |

| Biden's Nursing Home Mandate Will Do To Rural Senior Care What Obamacare Did To Hospitals |
U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris has started to take on more leadership in the Biden administration, for obvious reasons. A President declared too mentally unfit to face criminal charges is likely not going to finish out a second term if he wins re-election, so it is important for Democrats to get voters comfortable with her today, or else the 40 percent of their party who didn't want him to run for re-election at all may not show up in November.

| Voyager Has Come Back Online After 5 Months |
The Voyager 1 spacecraft launched in 1977 and is therefore the most remote human object in the universe, until it went dark 5 months ago and NASA engineers feared it lost.
For Oppenheimer's birthday today, there is good news; it has resumed sending engineering updates to Earth. The voyage continues.
The thing about space is, we can't even be sure it left the solar system, because the definition of solar system has nothing to do with actual space.

| California Is Lying About Recycling Plastic: Happy Earth Day |
Recycling in America has long been controversial and no place more than California, where 'recycling garbage' was a short time ago one of California's top exports.
No one believed China was recycling it but that they said they did was good enough for politicians and elites on the coast, so California claimed they met pollution targets - by continuing to add new items to dump into those blue bins that went into Chinese landfills for the next 300 years.

| Oil Kept Congo From Starving - Western Academics Don't Seem To Like That |
If even a wealthy like Germany has to lie about emissions to placate government-funded environmentalists and burn wood and buy gas from Russia, it seems unfair to criticize a poor country like Congo, but the culture war on oil can't think about any of that.
If you don't want to look like a rich, white progressive telling poor black people that the climate is more important than their children, the way to do it is to write...anonymously.
And an ironically-named humanities journal like Critical Historical Studies will still publish it, uncritically.

| Look At This Amazing Chart Of What Science Did For The Poor In the Last 100 Years |
Sometimes a picture tells a thousand words and sometimes it tells a whole book on how markets and freedom to science without government blockades can improve the lives of everyone.
This USDA chart shows the land in use versus affordability of food versus population and it is breathtaking. Imagine what the world would have done if backward places like Europe and Russia adopted American science and technology. If we are dreaming, let's imagine a world where every country used science to grow food. Farmland equal to the entire country of India could revert to nature.

| Gen Z Americans May Be Timid And Despondent About The Future But Not Gen Z Elsewhere |
If you live in a state like California, which can't balance its checkbook but thinks it knows everything about science and health, you are besieged with cancer warning labels, prediabetes awareness campaigns, and the vaping form of 'Reefer Madness' in commercials. Then they tell us in another taxpayer-funded campaign that young people are undergoing 'toxic stress' more than others.
We won't let them go out to play without a tracking device and a Ring camera, because everyone is potentially a kidnapper, so we might want to consider we're part of that stress problem.

| On Rating Universities |
| In a world where we live hostages of advertisement, where our email addresses and phone numbers are sold and bought by companies eager to intrude in our lives and command our actions, preferences, tastes; in a world where appearance trumps substance 10 to zero, where your knowledge and education are less valued than your looks, a world where truth is worth dimes and myths earn you millions - in this XXI century world, that is, Universities look increasingly out of place. read more |
| If You Care About Earth Day, Stop Buying Organic, Fair Trade And Other Junk Stickers On Products |
As Lenin's Birthday Earth Day approaches, all of media are pillaged by public relations flaks being paid by 'green' companies who are using capitalism to promote their financial form of environmental socialism.
One thing they have in common; they claim whatever they are selling is more ethical than what everyone else is selling, and using their sticker will also make you part of the 1%. Literally. A claim promoted by an organization that sells certification stickers, 1% For The Planet, is that companies 'certified' by them or similar groups have a 70% chance of better growth than companies who don't.
