US-based group Crazy Mothers, who describe themselves as on a mission to “spread vaccine injury and recovery awareness, took to social media recently to implore for the term anti-vaxxer to be “retired” from use. Instead, Crazy Mothers suggested people refer to those who choose not to vaccinate their children as “vaccine risk aware”.

While people flocked to share the tweet, it was to call the plea “misguided” and “irresponsible”. Immunologist here. — JulieS (@jaxcarys) December 3, 2019 Vaccine risk biased.

The controversial French lawyer Jacques Vergès, who defended clients including the Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie and advised others such as Slobodan Milosevic, has died aged 88. The charismatic and rebellious barrister, whose client list read like a Who's Who of modern terrorism, armed resistance and international infamy, was as famous for his own intriguing life story as his impassioned performances in court. In his later years he kept up those performances as Paris stage shows. Vergès was born in Thailand in 1925 to a French doctor father and a Vietnamese mother. His father had to quit his position as French consul because interracial marriages were not allowed by the French authorities. He grew up on the Indian Ocean island of Réunion, inheriting from his mother a fierce sense of the anti-colonial struggle and outrage at non-white people having to step aside in the street. At 17 he volunteered and fought for the French resistance. In 1957 Vergès made his name … [Read more...] about Jacques Vergès, French lawyer who defended Klaus Barbie, dies aged 88

More than 450,000 people marched in cities across France as railway workers, teachers and hospital staff held one of the biggest public sector strikes in decades against Emmanuel Macron’s plans to overhaul the pension system. A nationwide transport strike brought much of France to a standstill and was expected to continue for the next few days as unions dug in, saying Macron’s pension changes would force millions of people to work longer or face lower payments. Trains, metros and buses services were severely hit, some flights were cancelled and many schools were closed in the biggest challenge to Macron’s reform agenda since the spontaneous “yellow vest” anti-government protests erupted last year. In Paris, police briefly fired teargas during skirmishes with black-clad protesters on the edges of the trade union-led march in the early afternoon. Some protesters set fire to a storage trailer and smashed windows and a bus-shelter. Firefighters put out small … [Read more...] about Anti-Macron protests held in France with strikes set to continue

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — In the wake of yet another instance of gun violence where a 7-year-old boy and a woman were shot while sitting in a car, city leaders are coming together with anti-violence activists, calling for action. So far this year, 107 people under the age of 18 have been shot in Philadelphia. Activists say it’s up to the community to make a difference. “We will continue to do what we have to do in Council to deal with the problems associated with too many guns on our streets,” Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke said in a statement. “But we cannot do this alone and neither can the police. We need citizens to do their part and exercise personal responsibility. If you know there is a gun in your residence and it has no legal purpose, take the gun and safely dispose of it at one of the locations we’re announcing today.” The gun turn-in program begins on Saturday. See below for a list of date and times: Saturday, Dec. 7 … [Read more...] about Anti-Violence Activists Holding Gun Turn-In Program As Over 100 People Under Age Of 18 Shot In Philadelphia This Year

Twitter today offered an update on how its improvements to user safety and its newer anti-abuse measures are having an impact. The company declined to share any hard numbers related to abuse on its network, including how many abuse reports have been filed, or the number of actions it’s taken, for example, noting instead across the board percentage increases on things like account suspensions, implementations to limit abusers’ account functionality, and the further results of those actions. The report comes only days after a damning article from BuzzFeed painted a picture of a social network still afflicted by a systemic abuse problem, in which it described Twitter’s anti-harassment controls as a “largely cosmetic solution” and its algorithmic moderation systems as not as effective “as the company would like to think.” The truth is that BuzzFeed and Twitter are both right. Twitter has implemented a number of anti-abuse controls that … [Read more...] about Twitter claims its anti-abuse measures are helping, though many still disagree

"We all know Trump has been messing around in Ukraine over there, saying that they want to investigate you,” a man at a town hall in New Hampton, Iowa, asked Biden on Thursday afternoon as he embarked on his so-called "No Malarkey" tour.  “He has no backbone, we know that. But you, on the other hand, sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company that he had no experience with gas or nothing in order to get access for the president. So you're selling access to the president just like he was," the man continued. He also said Biden was too old to be president. Biden quickly shot back, telling the man, "You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. No one has ever said that. No one has said my son has done anything wrong, and I did not on any occasion, and nobody has ever said it."

close Video Can Biden beat President Trump if he's the Democrat nominee? Republican strategist Holly Turner and Democrat political analyst Robert Patillo debate. The Trump campaign is accusing former Vice President Joe Biden’s team of deceptively editing a video for a new ad to make it appear like a U.N. General Assembly audience was laughing uproariously at President Trump when he touted his administration’s accomplishments in a speech earlier this year. The video, which is part of a scathing online ad the Biden presidential campaign released on Wednesday, depicts the audience at the UNGA laughing after Trump says, “My administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.” VIDEO SHOWS TRUDEAU LAUGHING AT TRUMP While there were scattered chuckles after Trump made that statement in New York in September, the audience only broke out into loud laughter after Trump remarked: “I … [Read more...] about Biden campaign accused of deceptive editing in new anti-Trump ad

Darden restaurants—the company behind Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and other chains—will pay $2.8 million dollars in a settlement stemming from a lawsuit that alleged its Seasons 52 restaurants deliberately didn’t hire older, white men. Orlando Sentinel reports Seasons 52 admits no liability in the suit, and continues to deny the claims that it discriminated against older men in its hiring process. The settlement money will be distributed among 254 people identified in the suit, which alleged that managers at Seasons 52 tried to promote a “young, hip image” by refusing to hire older men. The suit began with two men, ages 52 and 42, who alleged they weren’t hired because of their age. Subsequently, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found more than 250 additional people who reported the same treatment.

The Florida Gun Show event in Tampa has seen record attendence despite the ongoing gun law debates surrounding the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. Florida news station WTSP reported that the weekend's event was more popular than ever, even though it came so soon after the mass shooting that killed 17 people on February 14. Given that gun sales generally increase in the aftermath of mass shootings, it should perhaps come as no surprise that gun show attendance remains stubbornly high. The event in Tampa was one of 40 such shows taking place around the country over the weekend. Around 7,000 people attended the Tampa event on Saturday (February 24), and organizers were expecting even more on Sunday. The show manager, George Fernandez, told WTSP that he had never seen such numbers. The next Florida Gun Show event in Fort Lauderdale has been cancelled after the town's mayor asked organizers to show respect to the victims of the shooting. However, the furore seems … [Read more...] about Florida Gun Show Sees Record Attendance 10 Days After Mass Shooting at Parkland School
