So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”
7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine that is supposed to be administered at birth at the very strong recommendation of the WHO until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.
The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.
Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.

The most terrifying person I’ve ever encountered at the gym is this middle aged man who consistently shows up wearing flip flops. He will run full sprint on the treadmill and do his entire strength workout in flip flops. Today I saw him doing yoga in flip flops. He also never wears headphones or listens to music, he’s just rawdogging these cursed workouts
when you’re so short that you leave the camera shot and reenter because the camera is following your ten foot tall coworker
truly cordelia chase girl of all time. rich. pretty. bitchy. popular. thinks tact is a waste of time. secretly far less dumb than she lets on. half the evils in town hate her guts and for a solid year the only reason she doesn't die is that she's frenemies with the local monster hunters. drives her car into the school in the apocalypse. wants to know if the world's ending because if so she won't bother to study for her test. wishes a new reality into being and is immediately killed. her entire personality is a facade yet she always says exactly what she's thinking. consistently puts herself in danger to save the world and sometimes her peers. complains the whole time. i would do anything for her
I hate when I go to copy a picture and it doesn’t paste. Do not disobey me.
someone just literally interrupted me mid conversation to tell me “what wonderful big dark eyes i’ve got” and on the one hand extremely flattering that she couldn’t even wait until the end of my sentence to comment on this, on the other hand did she have to say it like im the big bad wolf
midwife? don't say that. a wife could never be that.
unless something major changes about my psyche and who i am as a person there really is no way that i’m not going to be blogging on here until the day tumblr dies. i have barely missed a day on here since i was 11 years old. i don’t think i’m gonna quit
