This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This is where the U.S. is for kindergarten vaccine exemptions.
If every state allowed only medical exemptions from childhood vaccine requirements for school entry, as it should be in my opinion, this problem would disappear.
And it’s not just the overall rate, it’s the clustering of exemptions.
