All babies born today will be exposed to Covid. They have no more immunity than babies born in 2020. With so few vaccinated, deaths and hospitalizations in the youngest have not declined over time. Removing the rec guarantees continued, preventable harms & lays groundwork for more schedule changes.

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Agree. It’s also on us in the media to be amplifying these stories about what and who is being destroyed right now.
I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis.
This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day.
