I had chicken pox in 1983 and 1987. I wish we had the vaccine. And the hpv vaccine would have helped too.

If universities really valued education, why does admin expansion outpace faculty hiring?

In the short run, loss of America’s appeal to scientists around the world. In the medium term, economic depression. In the long term, the US reverses its development.

RFK Jr. has hired anti-vaccine activist David Geier to lead a study looking to link autism to vaccines, although that link has been heavily studied and thoroughly debunked. Geier does not have a medical degree & was disciplined in Maryland for practicing medicine without a license.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.
