During one of the most severe flu seasons in recent years, too.

We have already had children die of influenza this year.

Influenza can be severe, and the average severity varies from year to year.

Being vaccinated would have been protective against the worst outcomes.
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Well said, @roncharles.bsky.social, well said:

"What a great response to every enemy of freedom, every wannabe Anthony Comstock and Mom for Liberty: “Sit down and read a book.”"

So enjoy The Morning News' Tournament of Books.

Is it wrong that I enjoy the mascot at the end of each 'match' more than almost anything else. I hope not.

Here is today's match with appropriately lovely mascot, Honeysuckle www.tournamentofbooks.com/2024/blackou...
