Re recent assertions that vaccinations are causing rising asthma rates. Not according to CDC

Most Anericans today can no longer recall how much worse the diseases are than the vaccines.

Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Theresa Tam bids farewell as Canada’s chief public health officer. Appointed in June 2017, became a well-known public figure during the #COVID19 pandemic, by @kkirkup.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com

More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.
