As someone who has worked in public health for 15 years, it's astonishing to see medical experts across the board urging patients to ignore CDC recommendations. I don't think people outside the field understand how huge that is.

Unfortunately, yes. It would be foolish to think the man who has crusaded against vaccines for 2 decades is done now.

Is the data a lagging indicator here? I've been saying for close to a year that this is the worst job market in my 15-year career, all while TV pundits incredulously ask, "Are we in a recession?"

Can you still call them "vaccine-skeptical" when they are straight-up banning vaccines?

Anti-vax, anti-science, anti-medicine.
