3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

I also note what they found: that the LLM can rehash, summarize, stuff that's already been written.
It cannot interpret. It can't put the correct context around the work.

Warthog sketch, ballpoint pen. Trying something completely different for me this day-not sure if I've ever drawn one before. I had a lot of difficulty with the face shapes and symmetry-thought most of the underlines and scribbles are well hidden under the darker lines and patches now
