Good morning to everyone who didn’t extort a corrupt sporting body into creating a fake medal for them because they’re still in their fee-fees about getting repeatedly spurned by the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

Former #CDC leaders worry this week's #ACIP meeting will lean heavily into theoretical risks of vaccines without acknowledging the significant and scientifically established benefits of them, in the process sowing more doubt about the importance of immunizations. www.statnews.com/2025/12/03/a...
CDC’s vaccine advisory panel faces a crisis of its own making
“ACIP has drifted toward inflating speculative risks while downplaying well-established vaccine benefits,” write former CDC officials Demetre Daskalakis, Daniel Jernigan, and Debra Houry.

Here’s to living in a timeline so unhinged we need a musical parody (though it’s not much of a stretch) to make sense of it! For now we laugh, we’ll save the panic for a little later 😅

“Größenwahn" is the German word for megalomania or delusions of grandeur. It is used to describe an obsessive desire for power, or a grandiose and often unrealistic belief in one's own importance and abilities.
“.. What started as a 500-seat ballroom connected to the East Wing grew to 650 seats. Next, he wanted a 999-seat ballroom, then room for 1,350.” 🤡

My periodic reminder that Sarah Palin (quite correctly) called for Rahm Emmanuel to be fired when he used the "R" word.
And my periodic reminder that maybe a political reporter wants to ask her what should happen when Trump uses it.
