Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

If the government won’t protect our patients, we pediatric providers must.

I am all for patient choice and autonomy, but when it comes to decisions that can harm other patients, we must protect our vulnerable patients. I will not be accepting pediatric patients who are not vaccinated by choice.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

A "big tent" means the little people pay taxes, and billionaires don't?

She's complaining about their ability to ask for help b/c having to say 'no' is a chore. She's allowed to say 'no' if they haven't applied for accommodations.

Or she could design her class to be more flexible for everyone, adapt to the fact that we're acknowledging less severe mental illness, now.

he’s only mad because he doesn’t know he has perfect little snowflakes on his sweet little head

In sweeping presentation, vaccine critic set to urge government advisers to rethink childhood shots WASHINGTON — The future of children’s vaccines is on the agenda at today’s meeting of federal vaccine advisers, who are reviewing the childhood schedule.

“What we’re seeing is the decades-long anti-vaccine playbook dressed up and delivered from one of the most consequential health committees in the United States,” Katelyn Jetelina, an epidemiologist [told] STAT…. “When the process devolves into this kind of spectacle, kids are the ones who get hurt.”

And showing up often means sending a letter and following up with calls so excuses of not having time don't fly.

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

And is she trying to sell a book?

You betcha, folks

This was Psychology Today btw, and the author had the audacity to ask why kids with depression weren't engaging more consistently, like she doesn't understand that depression can render kids temporarily unable to engage.

Essentially this is part of a larger fight against accommodations.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

The appetite for inventing deficits in college-educated young people has never been more voracious.

A good question: what does Congress do, now?

We don’t talk about just how many things Reagan broke nearly enough.

One thing that’s pretty consistent in American history is elites getting away with it

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

Ugh, I'm sorry Andrea

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

A 74% lower risk of hospital mortality in vaccinated people demonstrates vaccination's effect on COVID severity.

Avoiding severe COVID also means fewer post-COVID complications, and therefore a drop in all-cause mortality. Ppl who vaccinate likely take care of their health in other ways, too.

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

ahaha thank you

Were there even were any drugs? They certainly can't confirm what war in the boat now. Presuming the whole thing isn't a fabrication, last I checked, possession with the intent to distribute was not punished by extrajudicial execution

Military personnel: This is what following unlawful orders looks like. Don’t do it. You don’t have the president’s get out of jail free card from SCOTUS, and these losers will not protect you.

Profound admiration

I literally kicked my feet under the covers then went "no, no... stop moving..." which is what "kicked off" this post! Lollllll
