SummaryA thread drawing parallels between Rome's border collapse and modern immigration policy. In 376 AD, Rome allowed 200,000 Gothic refugees across the Danube; within two years, those same Goths destroyed the Roman army at Adrianople and killed the emperor.

The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFoxYou’ve probably heard this more times than you can count: “I got the COVID vaccine and nothing bad ever happened to me.” There’s a reason for that… not everyone got the same thing. And a peer-revie...
SummaryThis thread argues that vaccine batches have historically shown dangerous variability, with some 'hot lots' causing disproportionate harm across more than a century of vaccination programs—from diphtheria to DPT to COVID—while claiming that manufacturing inconsistencies and distribution strategies may have obscured these patterns. The author presents historical cases like the 1955 Cutter polio incident and 1948 Kyoto outbreak, plus the Schmeling COVID study, to suggest batch-to-batch safety variation is an under-acknowledged systemic issue.Apr 17, 202631 tweets♥ 10.6K
