I could not disagree more. There are many reasons that MMR is given as one shot. Separating it out means:
-Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason
-Three times as many doc visits
-Three times more shitty days for baby
-Three times more copays
-Three times more work absences

Better 3 monovalent vaccines than no vaccines at all.

Jalen Brunson visited DREAM Charter High School in the Bronx on Tuesday, where he and his Second Round Foundation donated over $300,000 to the school’s Scratch Food Kitchen program, which provides healthy meals (made from scratch) to students year-round and also creates educational opportunities.

Josh Johnson is the new comedy superstar, and his incredible skill is somehow crafting perfect longform, topical routines in a matter of days
Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago.
I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell.
Give it a watch and share it.

This is the roster of ACIP committee fired yesterday. Bios included - highly qualified and vetted scientists and physicians. Worth saving this before it gets taken down for comparison with those who will be selected to replace them. We are going backwards at speed.

What the fuck are these idiots afraid of?
America is at its best when it acknowledges its historical flaws, its present day problems and works to fix them. We’ve done this before.
The nation - and the children of the country - must know our complete history if we are to build a better future.
