Ok I thought it was just me being difficult because I always link when I reference health legislation in a piece. You’d think they’re getting dinged on SEO or something.

Risk shift to the end user, who is the entity in the distribution chain who has the least ability to act on or correct any of the information provided.
Never occurred to me before, but this is basically forcing master data management duties all the way out to the customer. Bc there's so many people in the last mile, none of them have the whole picture, and they're all trying to build walled ecosystems.

Fascism is what you get when a country is “run like a business”…

We won’t make any sustainable progress against fascism in the US until we deal with the significant overlap with corporate structures and corporate culture.
Most people’s conditioning to accept and defend fascism in this country starts there…so political reactions are already reflexive.

I don’t care how much you hate Trump or how hard you voted for Kamala . If you aren’t examining your anti Blackness and anti immigrant and anti queer behavior ?
You aren’t doing what you need to

Antivaxxers like RFK Jr love to cherry pick policies from countries like Denmark so they can falsely justify reducing vaccines in the US, while ignoring context.
If they really wanted to learn effective health policy from Denmark, they would be pushing for universal single-payer healthcare.

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.”

1). The US is in the middle of the worst flu season in a decade.
2). Pertussis cases are the highest they have been in 20 years.
3). Measles has rebounded and elimination status has been lost.
RFK.Jr. has not recommended vaccination, instead he is aggressively rolling back vaccine policy.
