    Urgent: Inverse vaccines research in US

    Researchers are making great progress on the development of inverse vaccines: chemicals that can train the immunne system not to respond to a specific antigen. It will take some years to get them ready for widespread use, but a study has already shown success in turning off allergy to wheat gluten.

    The applications could include curing auto-immune diseases.

    Do you have an allergy, or an auto-immune disease? Does someone you love have one?

    The magats' research budget cuts are likely to delay the cure for years! (As well as many other potential advances.)

    So phone your congresscritter and call on per to restore the research budget.

    If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121

    Prisons and protesters, UK

    Censorship thugs in London arrested 522 protesters for "supporting Palestine Action" by nonviolently holding signs to that effect.

    I don't know precisely what Palestine Action stands for, so I can't judge that I do or don't support that organization. But I absolutely support people's right to hold such signs in public, and I condemn the British government's attempt to criminalize such protest arbitrarily.

    British prisons made ready last week for the arrests.
