After being with the journal since its very inception, the time has come for me to step back from Microbial Genomics. This is a wonderful opportunity to have a leadership role in one of the leading journals for microbial genomics research

It's not too much liquid
It's not too many different things at too big a number
It's not the size of this thing
It's not 80 different vaccines

None of this is true, but they will go after MMR based on this. The consequences are going to be massive measles outbreaks. Dead kids.
