Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people.
This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

new from me: on how disability complicates the reality of homelessness, and why a city might be OK with confiscating or discarding unhoused people's wheelchairs www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/sole...
With so many physically disabled people living on S.F. streets, what happens to wheelchairs during sweeps?
Take a trip to downtown SF and it’s impossible not to notice the sheer number of seemingly homeless people navigating the streets via wheelchair or walker.
