So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

It's a small thing in the context of <waves hands around> but this is still laughable North Korea stuff, including "224 pounds," "scaring [sic] on the right ear from a gunshot wound," resting heart rate of 62 bpm, and below-average blood pressure.
President Trump is expected to need a follow-up colonoscopy in 2027 (acting President Vance for a few hours?) and his doctor’s totally objective analysis notes Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events.”

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.
