Let’s talk about travel, science, public health, whatever…
I love, love, LOVE that they all cited the Halloween show in Manchester as one of the highlights of the year - I was there and can confirm that every minute was SPECTACULAR! #britishboyfriends #duranduran
The Year End lists are IN - were you surprised by any of their choices?

A recent modeling study in JAMA showed that if MMR vaccine rates drop 10% (easy to see happen with this), we’re back to 400,000-500,000 cases a year. Our current outbreak is 2,000. This turns the clock back to 1950 🚨🚨🚨
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

What an incredibly reckless move. Vaccines save lives - period.
Breaking news: The Trump administration plans to shift the federal government away from directly recommending most vaccines for children and suggest parents consult with doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

“By enhancing the body’s own repair mechanisms, this nanomaterial-based method could pave the way for innovative therapies in regenerative medicine.”

Interesting study.

Expectations of continued success for American science were shaken this year when the Trump administration cut billions of dollars in funding and fired thousands of scientists.

What? 🤯
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

🚨 The One Big Beautiful Bill Act excludes public health degrees as well as several other health professions degrees. This change could restrict access to federal loan support & affect the public health workforce.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Tariffs are “raising tens of billions of dollars for the federal government” but this administration won’t feed the hungry, can’t provide affordable healthcare, prioritizes financial bailouts for other countries, enriches the wealthiest among us - what an absolute failure. America first, amiright? 🤬
