I could not disagree more. There are many reasons that MMR is given as one shot. Separating it out means:

-Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason
-Three times as many doc visits
-Three times more shitty days for baby
-Three times more copays
-Three times more work absences

Who was it that used to refer to the RW masses as "programmable meatbags"?

They were told inflation is the Most Important Thing, so they dutifully echoed that back. Then they were told immigration is the Most Important Thing, so they swung that way, like a school of fish.

Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Tylenol’s parent company will combine with the maker of Huggies in a $48.7 billion mega-deal | CNN Business Huggies maker Kimberly-Clark announced Monday it will buy Tylenol’s parent company Kenvue in a nearly $50 billion deal, creating a massive consumer products conglomerate.

Tens of thousands of people have tried to escape the Sudanese city of El Fasher since paramilitary fighters seized the city in Darfur from Sudan’s military more than a week ago. But only some people have made it to the nearest aid zone after surviving a massacre inside the city.

FDA’s top drug regulator resigns after federal officials probe β€˜serious concerns’ about his conduct The head of the Food and Drug Administration’s drug center abruptly resigned Sunday amid concerns about his personal conduct. A federal spokesperson said Dr.

The head of the FDA’s drug division, an RFK Jr. appointee, has just resigned as an investigation was launched accusing him of using his FDA position to seek revenge on a former rival, Kevin Tang.

George Tidmarsh is also accused of trying to solicit a bribe from Tang.

All the best people.

Nigeria is a complex country comprised of hundreds of tribes, roughly 1/2 Muslim, 1/2 Christian, plus some animists. Communal violence, along with banditry, is an ever-present concern. 1 out of 5 Africans is NIgerian. The notion the US is simply going to swoop in and "bomb the bad guys" is absurd.

I keep hearing this argument from the left, that Trump is interested in Nigeria for the oil. It's possible he is, but that would be stupid. Nigeria is happy to sell its oil, and happy to let foreign oil companies in. The main concern is stability. Bombing them makes this worse, not better.
