So here’s the thing If the markets expect TACO, and thus don’t react to, say, possible war crimes, he’s not inclined to TACO and is not dissuaded from doing said war crimes. (Not that the markets should be the guardrail. Lookin’ at you, Congressional Republicans.)

Should the US adopt Denmark's vaccine schedule for children? @jakescottmd.bsky.social argues no in a piece that points out the risks such a move would pose for American kids. www.statnews.com/2025/12/19/d...

Why Denmark's vaccine schedule works for Denmark — but not for the United States
With its vaccine schedule, “Denmark has made a values choice to accept preventable hospitalizations and illnesses that other countries have chosen to prevent.”
