*Tomlinson (left) and Amico (right)* Georgia still has a PVI that shows it being a red state-- R+5-- but it has been behaving more and more like a swing state lately. I've spoken with operatives working for Bernie, Biden, Kamala and Warren who feel like Georgia is in play for their campaigns. In last year's gubernatorial election, a crooked secretary of state, Brian Kemp, oversaw an aggressive campaign of voters suppression to beat-- if he even really did-- Democrat Stacey Abrams 1,978,408 (50.2%) to 1,923,685 (48.8%).

CDC: Flu Shot Less than 10% Effective at End of Flu Season

AdminM at Health Impact News - 1 hour ago

That’s pretty bad even by influenza vaccine standards, which are notoriously poor. Since the 2004-2005 season, the CDC has judged the influenza vaccine to be more than 50 percent effective only four times—52 percent in 2006-2007, 56 percent in 2009-2010, 60 percent in 2010-2011 and 52 percent in 2013-2014.

*"Once again, responding to a horrendous crime by inflicting knee-jerk, authoritarian restrictions on innocent people proves to be an ineffective means of convincing people to obey.

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 4 hours ago
When you ingest sugar from honey or sugar from cane, your body converts it to a common currency - adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The same goes for fat and protein. It's the calories that matter and too many of any of those will result in body fat - and that is not all equal. The location of where fat is stored in the body can have significant implications for human health, according to a new study which compared fat cells from under the skin and from the harmful fat inside the abdomen, creating the first comprehensive genomic map that reveals unique features, which appear to 'hard-wi... more »
