If they can’t navigate a block and a half to school alone then how the hell could they possibly figure out everything else coming?

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.
He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.
His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Right now ACIP is discussing the alleged reasoning behind delaying HepB vaccination until an infant is at least 2 months old.
Pastor Kirk Milhoan of the Diocese of Disinformation is talking now about “first do no harm”, and, it seems, about herd immunity not being an important consideration.

Malone at ACIP is claiming that just because there is no record of a vaccinated, otherwise healthy patient developing HBV doesn’t mean it’s never happened.
Meissner responds that if it did, it would have been published in a major medical journal.
Malone, sarcastically: nice standard (paraphrase)

A CDC scientist is making the VERY GERMANE point that the “peer countries” of the U.S. are completely different because they have nice things like nationalized healthcare and health registries that track the health of their population throughout life.

A CDC scientist correctly points out that Canada has recently come to the understanding that a universal birth dose is both cost-effective and necessary to eliminate HepB from the country.
He again highlights that it’s disingenuous to call Denmark, for example, a “peer nation”. He’s correct.

Now we have Malone going on about the right of self-determination. He is implying that nobody gets to choose if their newborn is vaccinated against HepB.
This is false. People can and do refuse it all of the time, thanks to disinformation from people like Malone.

The CDC scientist is pointing out that the job of public health is to make recommendations for the overall population.
This seems obvious, but given this problematic Temu ACIP, needs to be repeated. Retsef Levi and Tracy Beth Hoeg absolutely do not understand this.

Meissner sighs deeply and explains that society has to make recommendations based on what we know and what we don’t know.
And we know that HBV vaccine is safe and effective.
And parents can also decline the vaccine if they choose.
So we shouldn’t take away what we know is safe and effective.

Reminder about Jan 6:
it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached
