Back In The 1960s, The U.S. Started Vaccinating Kids For Measles. As Expected, Children Stopped Getting

Back in the 1960s, the U.S. started vaccinating kids for measles. As expected, children stopped getting measles.

But something else happened.

Childhood deaths from all infectious diseases plummeted. Even deaths from diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea were cut by half.

“So it’s really been a mystery — why do children stop dying at such high rates from all these different infections following introduction of the measles vaccine,” says Michael Mina, a postdoc in biology at Princeton University and a medical student at Emory University.

Have you flipped the tumblr switch to not get scraped for AI-theft today?

It’s in the account settings. If in the app do the following:

1. Go to your blog (tiny human symbol)

2. Go to account settings (tiny cogwheel on the top right).

3. Scroll down to and hit Visibility (the second option from the end)

4. Activate the last oft the three switches (depending on your previous settings it may already be activated (symbol sky blue with switch to the right)

If you have several blogs you need to do it for each one.

Done.

September 26th Is National Voter Registration Day.

September 26th is National Voter Registration Day.

For many states, it’s the last day you can register to vote on the upcoming November local ballots.

Voting local is voting for issues that impact you directly—quality of roads and public transportation, education for the next generation of voters, parks, public safety, minimum wage laws, local healthcare access, and so very much more.

Don’t let this deadline slip by. Millions of Americans were unregistered for last year’s presidential election. Millions of voices went unheard. We can’t let that happen again.

Missed it last year? Register. Changed your name or moved in the past year? Update your registration. Completely prepared and feeling good? Great. Now tell a friend to register.

This is how we take care of each other, Tumblr. This is how we start to change what needs to be changed. Get ready to vote.

Israel killed my colleague and friend Montaser Al Sawaf. Imagine reporting on the killing on your friend, a person you lived with for weeks. I can't stop crying [source: @ Hind_Gaza, 12/01/23.]

This is a picture of Montaser Al Sawaf, another Palestinian journalist killed by the IOF:

This Is A Picture Of Montaser Al Sawaf, Another Palestinian Journalist Killed By The IOF:

I am continually enraged by the normalization of Palestinian people's deaths in mainstream western media, and the constant dehumanization of each of their lives. They are not just numbers -they are people who have dreams, ambitions, livelihoods, families, friends, hobbies, and interests.

The IOF is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, is breaking dozens of international laws and UN Conventions -is committing mass genocide -but a small fraction of people in power get to determine the narrative of 'who is the REAL victim here,' by reinforcing IOF and American propaganda which sides with settler-colonial violence -and it is beyond abhorrent.

We’re happy to announce one of many concert events at MomoCon 2018, for their first time in Georgia, Capcom LIVE!

Join us Friday May 25th, in the Sidney Marcus Auditorium for this special event! Tickets for this event are available now at https://www.momocon.com/momocon-2018-registration/ (a Friday or 4-day/weekend membership is required as well for this event)

“CAPCOM LIVE!” is the official Capcom concert tour, which, unlike the other orchestral format video game concerts, features a high energy rock band, vocalists and orchestra performing the mega-incredible symphonic rock arrangements of the most memorable Capcom game music. One of the most exciting features of the “CAPCOM LIVE!” concert series is the broad array of classic Capcom titles represented in the concert lineup:

- Ace Attorney® - Devil May Cry® - Dragon’s Dogma® - Mega Man® - Mega Man® X - Monster Hunter™ - Okami® - Resident Evil® - Street Fighter®

The show team, from producers to musicians to visuals, tirelessly worked together to create a concert that doesn’t only satisfy fans of the games; the live show experience will be exciting and enjoyable to any concert-goers. Capcom Live aims to, while satisfying the Capcom game fans, entertain non-gamers and music fans to let them know how great video game music is.
