'Just keep scrolling,' Missouri DHSS tells vaccine critics in tweet

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:41 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri public health officials recently announced that new vaccines would soon be available statewide, but their initial message raised some eyebrows. The new vaccines are meant to combat a COVID-19 omicron subvariant (EG.5) rising in the St. Louis area and nationwide. A tweet Wednesday from the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services reads: "COVID vaccines will be available in Missouri soon, if you're in to that sort of thing. If not, just keep scrolling!" Girl’s path to school: speeding cars, sex offenders, dangerous crosswalk The tweet has more than 115,000 views and dozens of responses. Some consider it passive-aggressive toward those against vaccines. Others suggest the "Just keep scrolling" remark takes away from the department's goal of encouraging people to get vaccines. Vaccines continue to be a controversial decision for some, even as the US phased out of a "pandemic" stage earlier this year. The University of Oxford estimates that ar...

That’s what my mother taught me.'”CLANG! CLANG!

As Colorado River shrinks, California farmers urge ‘one-dam solution’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:41 GMT

Ian James | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesFor years, environmentalists have argued that the Colorado River should be allowed to flow freely across the Utah-Arizona border, saying that letting water pass around Glen Canyon Dam — and draining the giant Lake Powell reservoir — would improve the shrinking river’s health.Now, as climate change increases the strains on the river, this controversial proposal is receiving support from some surprising new allies: influential farmers in California’s Imperial Valley.In a letter to the federal Bureau of Reclamation, growers Mike and James Abatti, who run some of the biggest farming operations in the Imperial Valley, urged the government to consider sacrificing the Colorado’s second-largest reservoir and storing the water farther downstream in Lake Mead — the river’s largest reservoir.“Past proposals by environmental groups to decommission Glen Canyon Dam or to operate the reservoir without power production as a primary goal can no longer be ignored an...
