Not loving these MMRV headlines, they feel misleading! The vast majority of kids under 4 in this country get MMR and V separately when they’re ~1 and this is what will still happen. The combined MMRV is what is changing, but that was not commonly given to young children already

The answer to this is YES there is something I can fix, update my positron (thank you @davisvaughan.bsky.social 🙏😅)
I’ve been dipping my toe into using Positron for #rstats (have been using for everything else for 9 months or so and do love it!) and the biggest pain point is the limit on what I can run in the console - like even fairly tiny shiny apps require source() 😫 is this something I can fix?
