This is because of the effective vaccines scientists created and people wearing masks.

So, the doomsday clock. Let me give a brief explanation of what the doomsday clock is. The doomsday clock is basically a clock that “accurately” tells when doomsday (aka a nuclear attack in this situation) will happen. According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, it is 100 seconds to midnight in 2022 from a Press Conference. And according to The Washington Post, it states, “The unchanged time ‘reflects the judgment of the board that we are stuck in a perilous moment that brings neither stability nor security.’ ”
So, moving on to my opinion on the doomsday clock. I don’t think it can actually tell an accurate time of when doomsday will happen because when it tells a time of when doomsday will happen, it might not actually happen at that time.

So, apparently, NYC mayor Eric Adams turns Friday lunches vegan in all NYC public schools. According to a recent briefing, he said that he wants to “combat child obesity in NYC.”
So, moving on to my opinion. I think that it is not a really good idea because vegan food is not always healthy. It is not always healthy because it can be fried.
