One AZ county has a 22% vaccine exemption rate?!?!! That is insane.
From @doritreiss.bsky.social :

9% of incoming kindergartners in AZ have vaccine exemptions - ranging from 3% to 22% (!!) depending on the county.

Most of them are non-medical-exemptions. 😕

This!!!
Allowing people to be themselves, live true lives, be free of political expression or violence, use their guaranteed rights to vote, and communicating accurately how history has worked and power has led to systemic oppression isn’t “leftist.”

It’s not a position on the spectrum. Or it shouldn’t be.

We are alive today by definition because of those great minds that spent their entire lives fending off death and improving human knowledge.

For this we are forever in their debt.

Happy Thanksgiving.

THREAD: Research we should be thankful for.

The chances that we and everyone we know and love would be here today, alive, healthy and thriving without the advances of science and technology are basically zero.

Today we look through the research and scientists to whom we owe everything.
