Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

I am proposing the hypothesis that anytime a science fiction character (including a narrator) paraphrases Isaac Asimov's observation about a technology sufficiently advanced, well then, we the readers are in for some lazy writing, at least when it's a core part of the world building.

I love your perspective, and I don't want to discourage you from sharing it, because it is unique and vital. However I wish this graph of party dominance correlated with any other data. And I think there must be a lot of other data to show why republican dominance does more damage than decency
