Whooping cough cases skyrocket in Michigan, as vaccinations decline | Bridge Michigan
A potentially deadly disease in infants, whooping cough β pertussis β has exploded in Michigan this year, in part because of decreased vaccination rates.
Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

Trigger warning!
I was drugged and raped in my home by an acquaintance. I drove myself to the ER at 9pm the following day, after debating for hours. I walked up to the desk, said my name, and told the nurse that I needed a rape kit. I had my sheets, the clothes I had been wearing, and other potential evidence in a paper bag. The woman asked me if l'd prefer she register me as a Jane Doe, "for privacy". I said absolutely not. I was still under my father's health insurance policy, with, guess who? Ding ding, UHC.
It took 7 hours before I was discharged. I was alone. I was already so traumatized, that those 7 hours don't feel particularly traumatic in comparison, but I assure you- it was every bit as bad as it looks on SVU. That's not the point.
The point, is that two weeks later I received a bill in the mail. Paraphrased, it read:
"SEXUAL ASSUALT EXAM- $1200.
INSURANCE COVERAGE- DENIED.
AMOUNT DUE- $1200"
And then another, in two more weeks. And then another. And then they added red font.

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

Pete Hegseth, Trumpβs choice to lead the Defense Department, faces brutal new allegations
A new report characterizes Pete Hegseth as a predatory racist with a substance abuse problem who badly mismanaged the only two organizations he ever led.
If you want to know how Pete Hegseth runs an organization, it's right here: rampant sexual harassment, constant drunkenness, and completely incompetent leadership. And Trump wants him in charge of the Pentagon. on.msnbc.com/3Zxjtgp
