Well the ACIP specific guidance on individual vaccines has been taken down.
Pediatricians and primary care providers use these guidelines EVERYDAY!

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So, this time I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Very important!
Yes to all of these.
Some ideas about how to resist creeping authoritarianism:
- find joy in your community
- engage in mutual aid
- be sure to get enough sleep, water, and calories
- move your body in ways that please you
- support independent media and artists (and make your own!)
- use cynicism sparingly
- pets

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

“In August, Landry flew on Bollinger’s plane on a previously undisclosed trip to go dove hunting in Argentina.”

So we’re letting journos just gloss over the obvious ethics violations of gifted interactional travel now?
