TWEETS OF NOTE
(@MaryBowdenMD) Hank Aaron died 18 days after receiving a Moderna shot. @nytimes claimed Fulton County coroner’s office ruled out the shot as cause of death, but reporters Rick Rojas and Denise Grady lied. No autopsy or medical exam was done on Hank Aaron’s body. Tweet.
(@JunkScience) Most CO2 but record hurricane inactivity: 2026 is 6 days away from setting a record (since 1966) for latest starting Atlantic hurricane season. As of this morning, no activity is expected for the next week. Of course, this is because of the ongoing El Nino, but I don't remember climate hoaxers qualifying their claims with that. Tweet.
