You noticed it too, right?

The minute Jasmine Crockett, a fierce fighter against fascism, announced her run for the Senate, the never-Kamala trolls came out in force.

Never that same heat for Trump, who wants to export Palestinians from Gaza and turn it into a resort. Literally ethnic cleansing.

I'm old enough to have seen a version of this story repeat over multiple decades.

It's old and tired.

In Ireland we probably averted about 500 newborn RSV hospitalizations once nirsevimab was introduced last year (~75% risk reduction). Uptake was > 80%, and that's what's threatened by these cynical safety concerns from the antivaxxers in the US government.
