The Effects of Vitamin D and COVID-Related Outcomes

Most of us lack the vital benefits of vitamin D because it’s absorbed in our skin through sunlight.. nowadays we wear clothes and live indoors! Just taking a cheap vitamin D supplement gives your immune system a big boost and wards off Covid 19 and many other illnesses. The ”authorities” discourage vitamin D and zinc campaigns (and other excellent remedies) to promote vaccines which can only be legally Certified for Emergency Use if nothing else is available. see also.. ‘Emergency Use’ vaccine Fraud’

Brazil’s Petrobras evicts thousands of destitute families in ‘1st May Refugee Camp’

Nowhere to go: Brazil’s COVID ‘refugees’ struggle after eviction

By Charlotte Peet at Al Jazeera , 8 Jul 2021, shared with thanks

Informal settlements have sprung up across the country amid Brazil’s ongoing COVID-19 crisis and its economic fallout, symbols of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro’s failure to effectively soften the coronavirus pandemic’s blow.

Itaguai, Brazil – Miani Cristina once considered herself lucky. Her employer had kept her on during Brazil’s devastating first wave of COVID-19 infections in 2020. Her monthly income of just over 1,000 reais ($190) and a monthly handout from the government of 41 reais ($8) had kept her and her three children afloat — barely.

Then the country’s devastating second COVID-19 wave hit. Cristina lost her job. The informal work her elder 20-year-old and 18-year-old daughters relied upon vanished. Food and gas prices soared.

“I lost all of my income and could no longer pay rent,” Cristina, a 46-year-old former general services assistant, told Al Jazeera.

The government of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro froze the monthly emergency aid packages of 600 reais ($114) it had been offering, and Cristina would have to wait three months until they resumed.

Dos alumnos de una escuela del Opus Dei, supuestos autores de la agresión homófoba en Sant Cugat Derechos y libertades Noticias

spanishrevolutionpor spanishrevolution8 julio, 2021

Esta escuela saltó ya a la prensa en 2018 al tener que abonar dos sanciones de 50.002 euros por discriminación machista

Como informábamos este martes 6 de julio, una nueva agresión homófoba tenía lugar el pasado 26 de junio en Sant Cugat del Vallès, en Barcelona.

Tras asistir a un concierto, varios jóvenes se encontraban sentados en unos bancos en la calle, cuando se acercaron un reducido grupo de personas que empezaron a pedirles que les dejaran un teléfono y que les dieran tabaco, ante lo que se inició una discusión.

La situación derivó en la agresión a uno de los jóvenes y, según declaraciones de un testigo a los agentes, el supuesto agresor le gritó maricón en repetidas ocasiones, hecho que determinaría que se trató una acción homófoba.

PART-1: WHAT THE SOURCE ARTICLE SAYS

Millions more in Southeast Asia face sea level rise risks than previously thought: Satellite imagery study.
Flooding will become even more frequent in Bangkok as sea levels rise. BANGKOK: Huge swathes of land are closer to sea level across Southeast Asia than previously realised, highlighting the flood dangers faced by millions, according to a new study using advanced satellite imagery. In low-lying countries vulnerable to sea level rise and with land prone to sinking due to subsidence, like Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, it means more of the population will face annual extreme sea level events that are progressively getting…
