Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Why do we vaccinate newborns for Hepatitis B?
It SAVES LIVES. It prevents infection & acute illness but ALSO
• Chronic Hepatitis
• Liver failure
• Cancer
• Death
Babies are at HIGHEST risk for severe outcomes from hepatitis B if infected.

Rat bastard republicans causing more suffering.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
