The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends
Rotavirus
Hepatitis A & B
Meningitis
Influenza
RSV
I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis.
We all are going to be caring for a lot more now.

ETA: *still can* fly both
I’ve been known to point out to my jet jock colleagues that unlike them, he was an unrestricted aviator, because he trained in and could fly both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.
Requisite shot of the Colonel’s old man jacket that he shall heretofore wear on his ass o’clock jaunts to the hardware store, surely with his Gulf War baseball cap. And the three other codger-vets who go that early.

A dear family friend & force of nature died recently.
The next-to-last sentence of his obituary show he knew how two timely, relevant things were connected:
“In lieu of flowers, Jamie would want you to vote out the fascists and get yourself and your children vaccinated.”

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

Watching Bill Cassidy reveal the commitments that RFK Jr gave him — for instance, a pledge to provide Senate a 30-day heads-up on any planned changes to vaccine safety monitoring programs.
Strikes me that these commitments wouldn’t be needed if the health secretary wasn’t RFK Jr

The upside here is that after this, places the Navy sent me were less shitty.
The third and fourth place they sent me was Iraq and Afghanistan.
