One of the ways we know the perinatal dose of Hepatitis B vaccine makes a difference? NHANES & the people who powered it

ACIP recommended the birth dose in 1991. The prevalence of Hepatitis B among children 6–19 years old declined 68% from 1988–1994 to 1999-2006.

The first school to volunteer for this will be making an unambiguous statement: we would be the first to resegregate our university if we could. Sure would hate to see any school I’ve been affiliated with go down in history as that kind of scum

As expected, the first 9 compacts were a trial run.

They have now come for all of us.

And each of us, and all of us, should say no.

A Prelude to Violence

Photo of windowsill behind the headboard of my bed. On the left is Birdie a smaller orange brown and white cat who looks a little scared and has backed into a sheer gray curtain. She was there first. On the right is Nala, a voluptuous fluffy brown tabby cat, looking directly at the camera with her ears pressed out to the side in annoyance and caught with one eye closed. She jumped back there not knowing it was occupied by her nemesis

Here's the big open secret: biosecurity isn't bipartisan. Joe Lieberman was an egotistical Democrat and is dead. Health security is a negotiated compromise on the speed of progress on the root problems at the heart of public health versus the state's interest in economic security and sovereignty.

that last line

Under Dr. Mermin’s leadership, new H.I.V. infections in the nation dropped by 36 percent, and resurgent sexually transmitted infections showed the first signs of a plateau nationwide.

He also directed health departments to spend the bulk of their money on prevention. It was “a very precise and scientific and logical approach” to make the biggest impact for the least money, said Greg Millett, who worked as a deputy for the Office of National AIDS Policy in the Obama White House.

Now, however, Dr. Mermin is spending his days at home with his chickens and his misbehaving cat. The fate of the H.I.V. division hangs in the balance, and he worries that lawmakers may not realize its importance. “What if no one cares?” he said.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

“This is absolutely a violation of federal law.”

For @motherjones.com, I reported about how reduction-in-forces in the Office of Special Education Programs will lead to disabled kids' needs not being met, as funding may not be distributed. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
