UE sostituisce missione Sophia con pattugliamento navale e aereo per garantire embargo di armi alla Libia. Bene, ma se si può impedire arrivo armi si può impedire anche partenza barconi degli scafisti. Ora basta, serve il #blocconavale per fermare l’immigrazione illegale di massa

It’s not over. This isn’t about politics. It’s about science. The virus only wants hosts to replicate in & mutate. That’s it’s whole reason for existence. The more folks delay the vaccine the more hosts it has to play with.
It doesn’t care how you vote or where you live.
@freduzzu@FraBXL It might be because you are not 41 yet. I am in the same situation, a few days ago I called them on the phone and got an appointment for an #AstraZeneca.
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.
