Today's Must-Reads - 25 June 2022
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found today. Today, this is for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.
Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.

Sky - Source of polio virus could be narrowed down 'to individual households or streets', minister says.

Karma has certainly been working overtime. I remember reading with shock that the polio vaccine used in poor countries is no longer authorized in the US because it does, in fact, contribute to outbreaks, and these geniuses had apparently never heard of international travel?
And now the "my body my choice except in the case of vaccine mandates" crowd are having their Rumpelstiltskin moment. (I fully support abortion for any reason and without restriction up to the point of viability [which must be arbitrarily determined by legislation].)
Lot's of verifying information today, thanks.
(1) The tweet showing the WEF's Yuvai Harari stating that human beings don't have a soul or few will any longer is priceless.

(2)The link from Spiked about the fact that the UK has become a far less free place since the Human Rights Act has passed is so 2022.
(3) Polar Bear Science underscoring the information that polar ice has increased, not decreased. Would be interesting to tie this into current changes in the solar cycle and Earths polar magnetic shifts.
