1/ Tomorrow, #ACIP —the external advisory committee that guides U.S. vaccine policy—will meet for two days. Thursday’s agenda will focus on Hepatitis B (Hep B). We’re expecting to hear a few falsehoods to start circulating along with some unsupported safety concerns. Here’s what you should know 👇

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Consequences are not cancel culture. They're just a new concept for parts of society, who have never actually had to deal with them before.
When the papers start whining about “cancel culture” again, remember that these men are stepping down 1) voluntarily, and 2) because their jobs have no real impact on their wealth and power, and 3) BECAUSE OF THE RAPING.

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

again I point you to 'predator trophy hunter theory.' the Yautja are mostly just Guys and the predators we see are the equivalent of guys who pay tens of thousands of dollars to go kill some poor animal in Africa.
Nobody has ever done anything interesting or unexpected with the culture of the Predators onscreen, that they probably aren't ever going to, and I think I've just made my peace with it
