1. Good. Too late for many thousands of people across the planet even before we knew how to vaccinate, but good to be certain now.

2. Hoping this UK Vagrancy Act doesn't get replaced with something far crueler. Given some of the other measures recently brought in against Travellers and Roma and whoever else I'm forgetting, I won't count on such cruelties-in-law being averted until Johnson's government gets voted out.

3. Woodcuts as clip art? Makes sense to see it in that way.

4. One Finnish opinion among many, but it makes horrific sense to me.

5. We already knew this about COVID-19's effects on humans...?

7. Yikes!

If "Covid Causes Ball Rot" doesn't improve vaccine take up rates I don't know what will.

So far, Ivermectin makes you shit out your stomach lining doesn't seem to be stopping people using it. So I have to conclude that people are just the worst.

Yeah, but shitting yourself to own the libs is manly whereas having your balls drop off is a Bridge Too Far. How will the righteous re-populate the Earth if they have prunes for testicles.
