Golden Trump statue turning heads at CPAC was made in … Mexico | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Now the artist behind the huge statue of Trump – Tommy Zegan – has revealed that the object was made in Mexico; a country that has been the target of much Trump racist abuse over his political career, and somewhere he has literally sought to build a wall against.

“It was made in Mexico,” Zegan told Politico’s Playbook newsletter. Zegan, who lives in Mexico on a permanent resident visa, described the transport of the monument to CPAC in full to Playbook.

Politico reported: “Zegan spent over six months crafting the 200lb fiberglass statue with the help of three men in Rosarito. He transported it to Tampa, Florida, where it was painted in chrome, then hauled it from there to CPAC.”

Drive-Thru Polio Clinic in the Early 1960s ~ Vintage Everyday

In the early 1960s, medicine borrowed a page from the drive-thru window’s concept of fast, “don’t-even-need-to-leave-your-car” convenience in a radical effort to eradicate polio – a crippling disease that sicken tens of thousands of Americans in the early 20th century.
Most people infected with the polio virus had no symptoms; however, for the less than 1% who developed paralysis it resulted in permanent disability and even death.
Henry Ford Hospital was one of many hospital across the nation to host a drive-thru polio vaccination program in the 1960s. The Oral Polio Vaccine Program was directed by Dr. Edward L. Quinn, founder of the hospital’s division of Infectious Diseases.

Coronavirus Vaccination : What To Expect & My Experience – Invisibly Me

THE UK CORONAVIRUS VACCINATION PROGRAMME 

I’m in the JCVI group 6, which is for the 16-64 year olds with chronic underlying conditions putting them at greater risk of coronavirus. I have a few chronic conditions, but the ones that put me at risk are, I believe, the lung disease (bronchiectasis, lung scarring and inflammation) and autoimmune disease. I also have the likes of fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, ME/CFS, and so on.

Sojourner Truth’s Massachusetts days – Liberation News

While Truth is known and celebrated by millions of people around the world today, one lesser-known period in Truth’s life was her time spent in the abolitionist intentional community that formed in what is now Florence, Massachusetts.

Florence is a village within the City of Northampton and evolved out of a radical abolitionist endeavor known as the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, which existed from 1842 to 1846.
