Seeing as this has received some attention, there is one mnemonic I’ve found that can help sometimes to manufacture motivation for ADHD.

Try to create associate something in “INCUP”:

Interest
Novelty
Challenge
Urgency
Passion

This is unusual. ACIP chair is begining the meeting by addressing the criticism of ACIP, including criticism by nine former heads of the CDC. Rejects the criticism that the new committee (handpicked by RFK, who fired the 17 previous members) is unscientific.

I'm watching the ACIP meeting. #Follow along for updates.
The committee will vote on whether to delay the hepatitis B vaccine for babies and whether to give the MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) and chickenpox vaccines separately.
The meeting of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is starting now. They will vote on delaying the hepatitis B vaccine (now given at birth) until baby is 1 month old, as long as mom tests negative. www.youtube.com/live/-6uBNXs...
