I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

In September in Geneva we applauded a major milestone in the effort to eradicate measles and rubella viruses from the face of the earth.

Today an unvaccinated child has died of measles in the country where the vaccine was developed.

This is not greatness.
