My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines.
Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with Vincent Racaniello & he taught me a few things about poliovirus.
So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻

Silence will not protect you from the incoming anti-science regime when they strip funding across the board. You’ll just be another scoundrel who didn’t speak up.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

This is critical because we can’t cede actions just because they SAY they can do it.
Know what they can do. Know how they can do it. Oppose what you can, and oppose what they say they can do that they can’t.

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...

I learned today that a lovely woman who works for me had a heart attack last night and is currently intubated in the ICU.
She is surrounded by her children and many grandchildren.
I don’t know if prayers or well wishes work, but if you have one to spare, send it to Kathy.

Arrived at my daughter's and son-in-law's house this afternoon. They have a bonus Golden. They're dogsitting. Luke, foreground, belongs to a work colleague. Oliver, in the rear with the blanket, is their dog. Happy surprise!
