Teamed up with the estimable @davidkli.bsky.social to put together this thorough write up about just how bad the baseball that the Colorado Rockies are playing this year is. Includes some great turns of phrases, multiple charts, worthy quotes, and more. www.nbcnews.com/sports/mlb/c...

New in Community Immunity: Most Americans are still in the malleable middle on vaccines—confused, vulnerable to misinformation, but open. Plus: placebo politics, brutal flu season, measles slowing, and rising pertussis. Read: communityimmunity.substack.com/p/the-mallea...
