  1. Chickenpox used to be such a big fucking deal and now it’s not. Because of vaccination. my daughter who is almost 6 got chickenpox approximately 5 years ago before she could get the vaccine. My pediatricians office had every nurse and doctor come in to look at her to learn what it looks like because people really don’t get it anymore, same for the pediatric dermatologist we went to because they couldn’t diagnose it initially. they didn’t know what it was! And you know what? We still got her vaccinated after infection
  2. Covid is a top ten killer of children and if a shot could virtually eliminate the already low risk of death and MIS-C and reduce the likelihood of infection it should be permitted stop dipping your toes in antivax nonsense. like with chickenpox it used to kill only about 100-150 people per year, hospitalized about 10k people, and infected about 4 million, and lead to shingles later in life. Given this why would we vaccinate kids against chickenpox???? CDC reference ^this is what you people sound like.
  3. We’re gonna have fusion energy before an under 5 vaccine Parents of kids under 5 still waiting for COVID shots WWW.AXIOS.COM The demise of the federal transportation mask mandate was particularly jarring for many parents of children under five anxiously waiting for word on when COVID shots will become available to their kids.
  4. I bet Virginia must be ringing Bob Iger’s phone off the hook to get them to come here with the promise we would never ever think of hurting our big beautiful corporations
  5. Man being a Canadian columnist is going to get really easy soon. Just add “u“ to color and bam you can easily copy an oped from America
  6. This just reinforces that beef consumption needs to be curtailed significantly for emissions to say nothing of the land requirements for beef production. Chicken is mostly fine however.
  7. I’m gonna go get some coffee at a unionized Starbucks to congratulate them
  8. Meat consumption in and of itself isn’t a big deal for climate. Deforestation is however
  9. Bigger issue is rent jumping by double digit % everywhere even though the feds can do little without congressional authorization
  10. They’re scared of needles same as with vaccines
  11. My dad was a Methodist pastor and was pushed out of the church because he wasn’t political/politically conservative enough. And this was at least ten years ago.
  12. We’ve already got a massive social isolation problem (thanks car dependent suburbs) and the already weak social bonds we do hold are fraying. There’s no easy way out of this for sure, but that one of the last institutional social groups with widespread hold is politically right wing should terrify anyone who is not that
  13. There should be set numbers of reps that are within given age bands relative to their population rather than one old fart who represents millions and can’t remember what they had for breakfast while at lunch
