For trans women in the U.S. in particular, this fact may be worth taking advantage of immediately.

Today RFK and co. removed the COVID vaccine from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for children and pregnant people.
This is junk science. COVID puts children and pregnant people at higher risk for ER visits and hospitalizations, and Long COVID can cause chronic health issues for anyone.

Pierre Poilievre just stated that he would DEPORT anyone on a visa for "antisemitic" protests.

UPDATE: The strain of bird flu is distinct from what has previously been found in dairy cattle. The finding raises some worrying questions — and concerns over the Trump administration's muted response.
