The term "illegal aliens" is so profoundly dehumanizing and insulting. If you use the term, I'm just going to assume you're a bigot.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Periodic reminders:

Vaccines save lives & parents need discussions with trusted professionals, not propaganda.

Transgender children & their families need evidence based support, not stigma.

Autistic children & their families need evidence based support, not conspiracy theories.
