"Korea makes COVID-19 vaccination part of routine national immunization program" KDCA says COVID-19 continues producing variants that can evade immunity, while people 65+ account for 63% of hospitalisations. It is shifting to routine vaccination to provide ongoing protection for high-risk groups.

My daughter lost a tooth yesterday. My wife was traveling, so I handled tooth fairy duties. I left a $10 under her pillow, which I thought was v generous, but she woke up, saw the bill & said: "But why did the Tooth Fairy leave me $20 last time?" 😆 (I wasn't aware my wife had gone so over the top!)

When the US bombed an Iranian school, killing over 100 kids, it involved over-reliance on an AI targeting system called "Maven," which based it on outdated information. I called it in @foreignpolicy.com in April Now confirmed in @bloomberg.com report of Pentagon investigation

Not only do we stand by our reporting. Madison Square Garden’s ridiculous lawsuit actually confirms it, noting the company did, in fact, track the sexual orientation of LGBTQIA celebrities in its talent database.

Instead - say what IS true, call out the fact that he lies (without repeating the claim) and ascribe motivation to it. In America voters pick our leaders, our leader do not pick their voters. But Trump knows voters are turning against him so he is peddling the same lies about the election he lost
