8/ As a reminder, there’s no vote on the vaccine schedule itself for this meeting. I know these meetings may seem niche, but they affect vaccine access, disease risk, and public perception. Understanding the schedule’s history, science, and safety helps you spot falsehoods & communicate confidently.

The Supreme Court majority has decided that they are the fact-finders, and the facts are what they want them to be, and quite frankly if District Courts disagree, they can pound sand because they're not the ones in charge.
They're right about the last part. But the damage they're doing is longterm.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?
