⚠️⚠️⚠️ Don't want to give your kid a polio vaccine?
Perhaps you don't know about the "iron lung" that patients had to live in 24/7, for weeks, months, a lifetime. A lot of folks don't know, for real.
Is that want you want? Because THIS - these mid-1950s photos - will be the consequence. No kidding. Had a friend who spent part of her childhood in one. Then leg braces.

Another story that is all over the world's major media outlets.
Yet in #Australia the #abc is continuing its vow of silence on the atrocious framing of this crime as 'collateral damage'.
I have not heard this much silence from the ABC since Assange and the Wikileaks documentary were received to world-wide acclaim at Cannes.
A 23 minute standing ovation in Venice, and complete silence from the ABC.
"With tears and chants of “Free, Free Palestine” and the waving of Palestinian flags, the true-life drama, The Voice of Hind Rajab, recounting the final plea of a five-year-old Gaza girl who was brutally killed by the Israeli forces in Gaza City last year, received a more than 23-minute standing ovation at its premiere at the iconic Venice Film Festival."

If they're gonna be mad about the film, maybe they SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED THE MEDIC TEAMS TRYING TO SAVE HER.
❝
The Voice of Hind Rajab, directed by Tunisian film-maker Kaouther Ben Hania, had been described by critics as ‘‘the most powerful and urgent entry of this year’s festival”. It left much of the audience and many journalists sobbing as it was screened for the first time.
The film reconstructs the final, frantic phone call of Hind Rajab, who in January 2024 was trapped in the wreckage of a car in northern Gaza, surrounded by the bodies of her uncles and four young cousins.
Hiding beneath a seat and the only one still alive, Hind managed to contact the Palestinian Red Crescent by phone. However, the child and the medics looking for her were killed by Israeli forces.

La journaliste d'Al Jazeera Nour Abu Rukba a fondu en larmes en direct en rapportant la crise en cours à Gaza, partageant le poids personnel du bombardement israélien.
Elle a décrit sa mère assise sur un trottoir, ne sachant pas où chercher refuge, alors que les familles font face à des déplacements forcés, à la famine et à des attaques incessantes
Le reportage met en lumière l'escalade de la violence, l'invasion et le nettoyage ethnique dans la ville de Gaza, affectant civils et journalistes
@anarchia
A Gaza ancora bombe e morte, terrore e fame strutturale mentre Israele continua a spianare il terreno all’invasione via terra e all’occupazione di Gaza City dove tank israeliani, seppur lentamente, avanzano anche oggi. Per questo nuovo step genocidiario sono rivoluzioneanarchica.it/palest…

The #Olympus / #OMSystem OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is billed as one of the best "entry-level" cameras around.
So as a working photographer, I decided to leave my OM-1 II in the camera bag and use the E-M10 IV with the OM 75-300 mm f/4.8-6.7 II telephoto lens. I discovered that its output is capable of being far beyond "entry-level".
Are you an #EM10IV user? If so, let me know what your thoughts are about the camera!

It would be true to form if MAGA wanted to make polio great again simply because it's another reason (one of many) to hate Franklin D. Roosevelt for. FDR founded the March of Dimes specifically to fight polio. Just don't mention to any of them that it's FDR's image that remains on the dime.

There's an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode starring Brian Keith in an iron lung, and there's some nuances about doctor's directions on how best to use one, like taking some time out of the device to strengthen the rib cage muscles. It's Season 5 Episode 5, title "No Pain" and I've not been able to find an easy link to stream the thing without additional corporate guff. It's in Archive.org but not by itself, which added to the difficulty. I found the entirety of Season 5 on one page, discovered that it's selection 33 which ran Episode 5 (yeah, go figure), and THEN I got to the following link:
