A voice in pursuit of truth, or at least a reasonable approximation. Where logic is applied liberally, certainty is met with suspicion, and the occasional epiphany is treated as a happy accident. Discourse welcome; nonsense will be quietly archived.

If the Trump Admin is so confident that the science warrants changing childhood vaccines recommendations, why not follow proper procedures & prove it?
The answer is simple: they can’t.
Kids will die because of this decision.

The flu shot is picked months in advance. Since then, a newer flu strain (H3N2 subclade K) has become dominant.
The match isn’t perfect, so it may not prevent every infection, but it still lowers the risk of severe illness and hospitalization.
Think seatbelt, not force field.
Get your shot!

Meningitis is bad. Skipping this vaccine will result in death and disability of children.
Before the Hib vaccine, 1 in 200 kids under 5 developed Hib disease.
More than half of Hib infections involve meningitis.

Why Denmark's vaccine schedule works for Denmark — but not for the United States
With its vaccine schedule, “Denmark has made a values choice to accept preventable hospitalizations and illnesses that other countries have chosen to prevent.”

RFK Jr. wants to swap the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule for Denmark’s. Denmark is small with universal care and tight follow up. The U.S. isn’t. Our broader schedule exists because these diseases still circulate here. Fewer vaccines means more outbreaks. That’s not reform, it’s reckless.
