Feeling like the only one who still cares about trying not to get or spread COVID, is hard. I'm grateful to @1goodtern.bsky.social for writing this. It helps me understand what motivates the denial and why persisting in spite of it, still matters.

RFK Jr will be Cassidy's legacy forever.
CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation
TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

Senate Democrats are useless and cowardly. Not even close to meeting or understanding the moment. And just because you voted against The Cave doesn’t get you off the hook unless you call for Schumer’s resignation as Democratic leader by tomorrow.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.
A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.
This really can work.

Truth: the two party system is terrible and needs to go.
Also Truth: until reforms are implemented to make elections more competitive, either a Dem or Republican will win almost every election, and pouting on election day only helps the party more opposed to your views.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.
Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

The CDC is quiet quitting vaccination.
The ACIP support staff is gone. The 22-23 October meeting has been postponed TBD. No apparent work on the vaccine schedule due for 1 January 2026.

I haven't seen this reported elsewhere: The ACIP support staff is "gone."
“It’s like the operating system for the advisory committee is gone,” said @drdemetre.bsky.social. “The hardware is there, the software is there” – but there’s no way to make the system run.
