The only way my children or I can be safe, they say, is to vaccinate everyone and create herd immunity. This is all beyond circular logic – it’s insane. The extent they’re so rabid about it exposes their insanity.

The 20,000 or so species of pollinators are key to hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of crops each year – from fruits and vegetables to coffee and chocolate. Yet 2 out of 5 species of invertebrate pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, are on the path toward extinction, said the first-of-its-kind report. Pollinators with backbones, such as hummingbirds and bats, are only slightly better off, with 1 in 6 species facing extinction.
“We are in a period of decline and there are going to be increasing consequences,” said report lead author Simon Potts, director of the Centre for Agri-Environmental Research at the University of Reading in England.
