“Vaccine wars”; harbinger of conflict to come?
Study unearths disturbing distrust across US.
The most widespread driver of resistance to COVID vaccines in the US was distrust; specifically of political leaders of both parties, the federal government and traditional print & cable news.

Read moreAll 50 US states seamlessly join Russia sanctions, no-one bats eye.
It is moments like these that remind us why we have each other. Lost in the extensive media coverage about the remarkable unity shown among western allies in standing together to impose collective sanctions on Russia is the development that … all fifty U.S. states themselves collectively joined the sanctions … without having to be […]
