After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.
No.
I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.
Vaccines save lives and protect health.
Period.

When Russia wanted to take over Ukraine, many Russians discussed the issue and none objected to taking over a sovereign country.
The USA are behaving like Russians, with Canada as angry and unrelenting as Ukraine.
The attitude of Americans is shocking. Shame on them.

I’m devastated by her death. And will be forever inspired by how she lived. And fought. And loved.
More than anything I’ll miss our laughs and lattes. And am so grateful for every second we had together. I love you, Coll.

At a stop light, a guy asked for money.
Something about him being old, wet and apologetically holding a battered paper cup got me, so I gave him $5.
This is no one else’s business, but the guy behind me honked a few times loudly because he’s in the business of being absolute jerk.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.
