📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC
The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

Why is "My Favorite Things" considered a holiday song? It's not about the holidays, the movie is not about the holidays, the song isn't sung during a holiday... or even during a snowstorm.

We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

"When you remove scientists from science, you don’t get truth. You get ideology. " Signed D3- Deb, Dan, and @drdemetre.bsky.social
We are former CDC officials. RFK Jr.'s change to vaccine guidance is propaganda.

"This exclusion... risks undermining the nation’s ability to prepare practitioners who protect and promote the health of all populations. At a time when threats to public health are escalating, leaving out the very degrees that train our frontline leaders is both short-sighted and dangerous."
This is designed to tank public health & primary care by excluding public health professions, advanced nursing practice, physical & occupational therapy from loans that can cover the cost of education. This is going to make an existing workforce crisis worse.

It can be holding a door open for someone, offering a seat on the bus, or simply checking on the people who have been a part of your life's story.
