Automobile dependence erodes public health in many ways: blunt force trauma (#1 cause for children and young adults), air pollution (CVD, asthma), noise pollution (QoL, dementia) but perhaps the most pernicious is that it has almost completely displaced walking. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...
Less than 25 percent of Americans walk for more than ten minutes continuously in a typical week
Many people in the U.S. do not walk, bike or engage in other forms of active transportation, missing an important opportunity to improve their cardiovascular health, concludes a new study.

There's a circulating rumor that no studies have ever compared vaccinated to unvaccinated children when investigating autism risk. That's simply false. Here are just a few of the many high-quality studies that have made this comparison—and found no link ⬇️

No. Budgets are set deliberatively by elected members of congress. Budgets haven’t been cut.
