There'll be "deep concern" and thoughts & prayers.
But architects of that lie will celebrate privately because this has been the goal.

This morning I cried over dead babies again. I don’t know you, but please know if your baby dies from flu, measles, whooping cough, E. coli, or anything else, I won’t care what choice you made on vax, raw milk, etc. I’ll cry. Public health loves you even when you hate us. #thisispublichealth #idsky

One of my most magical core memories is working at a theater in college, Roberta Flack on stage singing Killing me Softly while snow swirled outside (rare in the deep south). Rest peacefully, thank you for the music and the magic 🖤
Roberta Flack, the magnetic singer and pianist who was one of the most popular artists of the 1970s, died on Monday at 88. Flack was known for her majestic anthems like “Killing Me Softly” and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” nyti.ms/4h1KzSh

PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana.
For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5.
