The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Life was better when I knew less about the travels of my purchases 😓

That graph on the left predicts a harsh truth for kids and families in the future

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer.

Vaccinating at birth has reduced this by 99%

What a beautiful idea! ✨

Amazing! 😍😍😍
