I just replace the phrase "common sense" in my head as am reading with "I am just winging it," works every time.
A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

I think we need to remember this is a war on expertise at a critical moment in time when our definition of expertise was becoming more expansive and equitable. This makes the link between the attack on expertise/science and attempts to re-segregate much more clear.

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night.
I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin.
I was wrong. He is not ignorant.
This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

Shorter JD: "I can only have social solidarity with people who look like me, but in a totally non-racist way"
“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

Great idea IMO
if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

The ineptitude of the entire cabinet of The Regime is terrifying. But I contend that in regard to individual power, Robert F. Kennedy has the ability to kill more Americans faster than any other Secretary.
He’s off to a great start by lying about vaccines and saying that experts are worthless.

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.
And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

Currently enrolling volunteers in my own randomized controlled study. I hear N=20 is effectively an infinite sample size in statistics, so that should do the trick, right? I think I'll start researching the flu vaccine first since I am old.
Expecting and new parents: do not listen to RFK Jr. The vaccination schedule is not a Walmart, where you pick and choose your products. It's the best way to ensure your child is healthy, and it best ensures your household and community are as healthy as possible. 🧪

Wired has been doing amazing work, support them if you can
This is disturbing, and I’m glad to see @cnn.com covering it. But a passing credit to @wired.com 16 graphs in - when the entire story is a retread of our reporting - is journalistic malpractice.
I’m sick of it. Be better. Treat covering the admin as a team effort.
