There is something very wrong here and it isn't porn.

"Unfortunately, just five days after 17 people were gunned down at a Florida school, the Florida House just passed a bill that declares pornography a 'public health risk,'" state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D, told the Independent. "Basically, what they have determined is that these are the Republican priorities in 2018: Wasting our time with debate and legislation that declares porn as a health threat, meanwhile we can't even get a single debate, vote, or hearing on anything related to assault weapons."

Best I can tell the CDC is still focused on saving lives from the flu.

At least 10 Tennessee children (click here) have died of flu this season, the Tennessee Department of Health said Tuesday.

The state health department confirmed two more children had died of flu-related complications, for a total of four children in East Tennessee and six in Middle Tennessee. A pregnant woman in Middle Tennessee also has died from flu complications this season.

The state does not track adult deaths related to flu, but it and the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention track flu-related deaths of children and pregnant women. Nationally, as of Feb. 16, child deaths totaled at least 84 for this season.

Only 26 percent of those children eligible to have the flu shot had it this season before they got sick, the CDC said Friday....

This article (click here) pretends to be scientific by listing numbers after words, sentences or paragraphs, but, there are no references at the end of anywhere else for that matter linked to the numbers. It is all populous nonsense.
