Even a decade ago I'd have far sooner predicted that the US would succumb to authoritarian rule than that it would become a state where vaccines were unavailable.
But if we don't throw RFK Jr. out on his ass, we're headed there fast.

RFK Jr. is overhauling the program that helps preserve Americans' access to vaccines
A Kennedy adviser said he wants to preserve the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The health secretary's anti-vaccine allies prefer it collapse.

Interesting. He picked Lumen Field in Seattle as #1. Although he focused on football stadiums (Lumen also hosts men’s and women’s soccer), for all the same reasons it is nice that T-Mobile field, where the Mariners play, is located just south of Lumen field.
Really interesting video: Minneapolis is #2 on the top 10 list, after Seattle, for its urban connected football stadium. Stadium location is probably the best thing about the Vikings! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucIW...

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
