I’m worried about people using this as a reason to “not worry about vaccine access” when “life hacks” and “one neat trick” for vaccine access is not an individualism solution to anything.

If you “agree with” any of MAHA you’re signing onto eugenics.
MAHA is a movement involving anti-vax eugenicist principles. Even if you can pick out one little part of it that sounds ok, do you really want to sign on to the stink of eugenics?
American Medical Association calls for a senate investigation into CDC ACIP committee firings ahead of the vaccine meeting.
The public comments period opened and CDC ACIP committee members were all abruptly fired.
Anti-mRNA is Anti-Vax.
Make no mistake, people spreading fear of mRNA vaccines are spreading anti-vax misinformation.
I was on The Letterhack Presents with Matt Strackbein to talk about why FAFO doesn’t matter because there’s no Invisible Hand of the Market. .
DOES FAFO EVEN MATTER? – #MAGA REFUSES TO #LEARN W/ CHLOE HUMBERT! – The Letterhack Among other aspects, we talked about how people didn’t learn from the pandemic, and once you F around and find out unvaccinated, it’s too late for the kids who died to “learn” anything from such an experience.
CDC ACIP doctor already explained the problem with “shared decision making” on vaccine recommendations.
And I quoted this in my CDC ACIP public comment.
Netflix takes Sesame Street as spoils of the defunding of public broadcasting.
Good gravy don’t buy into the “privatization will save us from authoritarianism” narrative.
The headline we should be seeing: Two cryptocurrency selling regimes in the Americas join together to leave world health behind and form their own bs wellness organization.
Unfortunately the media isn’t doing a great job with this one.
I don’t trust Paul Offit.
I wouldn’t recommend looking to Paul Offit for leadership on vaccines, because what the Trump administration is doing he was lobbying for in the Biden administration all along. This is from a thread I posted on social media after becoming concerned that people might think this is the guy to lead up championing vaccine access. If you […]

Alligators knock doors in Florida.
This is going to put a damper on getting better politicians elected in Florida. Too close for comfort: Gators seen scratching and knocking on front doors of 3 Florida homes WSVN-TV May 12, 2025 Maybe I’m cynical but I can’t help suspect this is a PR planted story as covert marketing for doorbell cameras because […]
Comparing “AI companions” to “traditional relationships” is bunk PR.
To frame this as “non-traditional” relationship is wrong, because it’s not a relationship, because it’s an LLM chatbot.
AI is shoddy, and it’s used as a shadowbanning assist.
I decided to read this book “Empire of AI” after an interview with the author Karen Hao on the Better Offline podcast, which covers the technical and financial no there there of AI. And in this interview by Tim Miller at the Bulwark with Karen Hao, they talk about environmental impacts, but I think this […]
Free market capitalist Republicans… oh wait – they want to deny your choice of dental health too.
I hope everybody understands now that this was never about choice.
Nothing efficient about blockchain, so when someone invokes the blockchain to defend crypto, it’s also a trick.
Cryptocurrency is bad, and it’s not bad despite “the blockchain” but also because of the blockchain, which is actually not some great newfangled thing after all.
Wow. FDA VRBPAC meeting public comments. Not great. More people need to step up.
Don’t Wait For Everybody – Episode 024
Anti-vax bullshit is the same old hat.
There was the same anti-vax propaganda spreading last century. It was overcome. Don’t wait for everybody before speaking up. Chloe Humbert Aug 08, 2023 The polio campaign in the U.S. was successful because of a concerted effort to do a door to door campaign that started before the vaccine was even available. The idea that […]
By law all sorts of things aren’t supposed to happen.
“By law, Social Security cannot be touched in the budget reconciliation process.”
Wait until MAGA finds out that Trump’s campaign strategy was Spanish language political ads.
The New Republic – Marin Scotten / May 14, 2025 MAGA Has Total Meltdown Over House Republican Post in Spanish The far-right is freaking out over an X post in Spanish from House Republicans.

RFKJr connected anti-vaxxers have been profiteering from the Texas measles outbreak.
WIRED – By David Gilbert Apr 17, 2025 11:35 AM Anti-Vaxxers Are Grifting Off the Measles Outbreak—and Claim a Bioweapon Caused It Activists affiliated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are selling a “measles treatment and prevention protocol” for hundreds of dollars, including supplements supposedly formulated by AI. Anti-vaccine activists with close ties to US health […]
Pseudoscience eugenics conspiracy theory is what’s driving the push to keep vaccines from American children.
I really hope people voice support and interest in vaccines for children specifically to elected representatives and to the FDA VRBPAC in public comment.
