Vaccine uptake is down because vaccine disinformation is well-funded.

CDC ACIP is a nightmare scenario.
I tuned into the CDC ACIP meeting to hear some woman reading some anti-vax screed rattling on about RSV vaccines a script that sounded like it was written by a chatbot.
Medical disinformation is to blame for waning vaccine sales and insufficient opposition to the anti-vaxxers in the Trump regime.
The demand for vaccines is down because there have been no real campaigns to get people vaccinated, and yet there have been huge and well funded disinformation campaigns scaring people about vaccines so that they are not making clear-headed risk benefit decisions.
“Get over it” typically means “Shut up and go away because I don’t care.”
Mitch Mcconnell literally said people would “get over” losing Medicaid. I don’t think that’s true.

We do need a shadow cabinet, but a private medical society is unlikely to overthrow the current regime.
Don’t wait for some elite doctors and scientists to save science for the people from “behind the scenes”.
AI hype is driving the mining industry to dig up more uranium in the US.
Even if you think nuclear is a good idea, you have to worry about how this is going to get started new mining that isn’t actually needed, build these data centers instead of housing, and then abandon it abruptly when the AI hype financial bubble pops and they all crash and burn and then of course the taxpayers are on the hook to bail out the rich people again.
Conservatives are being tricked.
If you were wondering why republican voters seem to persistently believe things are looking up.

RFKJr is also going after worker safety in the heat in a time of climate change.

Why are more than 300 Americans still dying every week in the ongoing pandemic?
And I really wish podcasters would stop saying “during covid” already.
RFKJr’s culture war political stunts will have real world consequences on financial access to life-saving vaccines.
This is a matter of life and death and serious known risks to the pregnant and babies when moms to be are unvaccinated.
RFKJr is a menace to public health & science.
“While Kennedy has a long history of promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, he has not explicitly promoted chlorine dioxide as a treatment. However, in January, during his Senate confirmation hearing, he referenced chlorine dioxide while praising Trump for “looking at all of the different remedies” for Covid…”

Chatbots are addictive like social media, gambling, and video games, but I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
I noticed the addictive aspect of the chatbot 2 years ago, and warned that I suspected it wasn’t a coincidence it seemed to have aspects that reminded me of the game Diablo.
Your medical data is out there and the only way to stop misuse of it is regulatory law.
Avoid using nonsense copypasta letters you find on facebook. Rely on proven sources who know how things work in government for information on how to advocate for yourself.
