US pediatric group breaks with federal policy, recommends COVID vaccines for young children

NIH leadership is systematically purging women and minorities from its boards of scientific counselors. The odds of this being random are 1 in 300

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

If anyone has a used Bento Lab they don't need or want to get rid of let me know. I'm doing some side science with pet quails (no animals will be harmed; I am not making super quail no worries).

The FDA vaccine committee meeting that was supposed to discuss how to update next season's flu vaccine was abruptly cancelled today. It’s a key step to allow influenza vaccine manufacturers sufficient time to prepare updated shots for the next season. No explanation was provided.

There’s a lot of harsh comments on this post and I get the frustration around this. But the thing is, isn’t it better that they vaccinate now rather than keep their anti-vax stance? We need this change in mentality to combat RFK jr and other misinformation people.
In Texas, said one doctor: “We’ve vaccinated multiple kids that have never been vaccinated before, some from families that didn’t believe in vaccines.”

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
