*Confused historians of early modern medicine wake up to find themselves experts on current affairs*
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
Ancient miasma theory may help explain Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine moves

"Ain't Nobody Got Time for That" was my first reaction to the upcoming heatwave.
The first 90 day in Tampa used to arrive in late May (100 years ago) But more recently the average is the 3rd week of April... about 35 days sooner. This spring we are likely to see it in a few days!
