The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.
This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic.
Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050.
The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

What's happening with the Chicago Public Libraries right now is terrible. The proposed budget of the city would CUT 89 CPL positions. Importantly, 78 positions were lost LAST year. That would be 167 positions in 2 YEARS while COPS KEEP GETTING MORE MONEY. ENOUGH. SAY NO.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Why I Hate ABA Therapy: A Personal Opinion
ABA therapy doesn't in any way help us autistics to adapt; it forces us not to complain about routine sensory punishment beatings.

Girls are referred for autism diagnosis about 10 times less often than boys.
