There's an episode in Blackadder 3 where Edmond uses made-up words to convince Samual Johnson that he's missed stuff from his dictionary. I have been using these same words in work meetings and reports for decades without ever being challenged on their authenticity.

A person sits in a subway car, dressed as a Christmas tree.

I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.

I really do hope that news outlets who report on the recent #ACIP recommendations understand that these decisions have nothing to do with HepB per se, and everything to do with sowing bigger doubts about vaccines - all vaccines - in general.

Don’t lose sight of what the bigger agenda is.

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel is beset by incompetence, bias, and procedural chaos The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' (ACIP) meetings used to be a geek’s dream: hours of long, maybe dreary presentation of extensive data

@doritreiss.bsky.social breaks down the lack of expertise, incompetence, and blatant anti-vaccine bias on full display at ACIP:

The image depicts a comic. Panel one shows the main character lying in bed with a heating pad. Panel two shows the same image, but now a cat has appeared on the heating pad. Panel three shows the same image, but a second cat has appeared alongside the first on the heating pad. Panel four shows the same image with two cats on the heating pad, one dropping from the ceiling, and one entering through the window.

You're the dipshit liver doctor who voted to confirm the dipshit. You owe America an apology, but even then, no apology will ever be enough. #medsky

BOYCOTT EUROVISION With photo of a destroyed car and buildings in Gaza Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.

The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

On Zack Polanskis magic money tree economic gravity simply doesn't exist.

All in one day:

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.

Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

Trump ally Infantino to award first Fifa Peace Prize at World Cup draw in DC Fifa unveils a new Peace Prize to be awarded at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, citing a mission to honor efforts to end conflict

It's poetic that Trump will end up with the tasteless copy of the real thing

I’m holding out hope that the inherent instability of the Trump regime will surface next year.

CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine The CDC's ACIP panel voted to recommend delaying the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, ending a policy that has reined in the virus.

As pointed out in this article, it will be many years before the full impact of this is felt (ie, liver cancer and hepatitis B-related deaths). There will be a spike in cases and the public will wonder how it happened and what current scapegoat they can blame it on.

Imagine the scale of racism necessary to stand out as racist back then. And I'm saying this from the perspective of an immigrant who grew up in those times.

If you're an expert in your field but still occasionally feel a tinge of imposter syndrome, just have a look at some of the current ACIP lineup.

Current ACIP Member Evelyn Griffin, MD blaming illegal immigration for patients having hepatitis B. This is racist.

The ACIP does not have any standing to affect domestic immigration policy or procedures.
