A recent modeling study in JAMA showed that if MMR vaccine rates drop 10% (easy to see happen with this), we’re back to 400,000-500,000 cases a year. Our current outbreak is 2,000. This turns the clock back to 1950 🚨🚨🚨
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

MAiD is in the news bc of NYS, here's my view as a disability pollster: voters support Medicaid Aid In Dying for those with a terminal illness by 42 pts. That's strong support.
"MAiD must only be available to someone with a terminal illness" should be the limiting principle disability advocates use

I ordered a new debit card that was supposed to be overnighted two days ago. It is currently somewhere in Quebec Canada. I live in the United States. It came from the states. How the hell did it end up in Canada?

Hot Take: in almost every movie, where Michael B Jordan is playing someone from real life or needs someone to play a younger version of him. The casting is almost perfect. I have watched four Michael B Jordan movies in the past two days and it really is on target.

I have always believed that doing this to a person is unethical as fuck! Because bottom line is they don't love her. They don't care about her. She only serves one purpose. To them she is not a person.
This is just pure torture. Why would you bring a child into the world and do this to them.
