🚨: Mosquitoes have reached Iceland, the last place on Earth that remained free from them




A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?


Gov. Pritzker’s entire political career is a case study in billionaire progressivism: 🚽Mansion toilets fraudulently ripped out for a property tax break 0⃣ Zero property taxes paid in 28 years at the taxpayer-owned Hyatt Regency McCormick Place 🧐A “megaproject” bill designed to increase the property taxes of poor and middle-class families to subsidize megamillionaires and billionaires Everything wrong with Pritzkerism in one picture: the ruling class pays less while everyone else pays more.
