Vaccination rates aren’t just a personal choice, they determine whether outbreaks happen. • Polio: ~80–85% vaccination needed to prevent outbreaks • Measles: ~95% vaccination needed Once coverage drops, children become vulnerable. When vaccination rates fall, outbreaks follow.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...
This expands a similar purge recently at the Naval Academy library, in Maryland. Last month, civilian Navy officials, following orders originating from Mr. Hegseth, pulled from shelves books including one that critiqued “The Bell Curve,” a 1994 text that argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people. But the academy kept “The Bell Curve” itself on its shelves.

See full thread but a) govt trying to coerce people into work just generally does not work; we already have very strong work incentives; b) Trump has gutted research like this on how SSA is working and can be improved.

The latest NIH grant chaos: NIH apparently sent stop-work orders to all *97* MARC and U-RISE programs in the country. These programs support underrepresented undergrads interested in health research careers. MARC dates to 1977. Over 48 years, the programs have supported thousands of students.
