Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

USPS pushes back measures that ensure mail ballots arrive on time

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

New: On the podcast for MAHA Action — an organization closely tied to RFK Jr. — a guest said that if people instead of vaccination "eat vitamin A foods, take daily cod liver oil, keep your kids well nourished, you will weather measles just fine." www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-...
BOB SEARS (GUEST): I know people are concerned about measles and — because there's been a clear comeback over the last couple years. And I like to just maybe make sure everyone understands why there's been a comeback and what you can do about it and why you can be educated about it, but you don't have to live in fear of measles. 

So first of all, why the comeback? The main reason why is that the vaccine we use wears off too soon. It might protect kids, some kids from catching measles while they're young, but it wears off by the time you're a teenager, and most adults are walking around without measles immunity. So we can actually never really get rid of measles from our country because it's just it's — you know, it's trying to regain a foothold, and we might be seeing more cases because people don't trust the measles MMR vaccine as much anymore. So that might be why some of these communities are having measles outbreaks. 

But the truth is it's not spreading because people are not vaccinating. It's because we can't eliminate this infection from our society. We just don't have a vaccine that gives you lifelong immunity, like catching the disease, that gives you lifelong immunity.BOB SEARS (GUEST): So do you need to fear measles? My feeling is no. If you look at the fatality rate in healthy kids who are well nourished and who get enough vitamin A in their diet, the fatality rate of measles is about one for every 93,000 children. That's a very low fatality rate. Now when you look at all children in our country, you know, well nourished, undernourished, the fatality rate might be about one in 10,000. That's a number we've known about for a very long time. 

Why does the CDC say the fatality rate is one in 500 or one in 1,000? That's what the old CDC used to say to scare people. That's only hospitalized kids. Kids who show up in the ER very sick from measles or if you're hospitalized, the fatality rate could be about one in 1,000 of those cases. But for everybody, the good news is if you have a healthy child and you're getting vitamin A in your diet, the fatality rate is about one in 93,000. So that's what I tell people to do. Eat vitamin A foods, take daily cod liver oil, keep your kids well nourished, you will weather measles just fine.

I think people don't trust the vaccine anymore, Tony. The MMR vaccine, which protects, or "protects" against measles, it's one of the vaccines with the most possible side effects and some of the most severe side effects. People just don't trust it anymore. So parents are now raising their kids without that vaccine. And you know what? Measles might be here to stay. It might become more a part of our society. We can be on the lookout for it. Stay home if you have a fever and a cough and red eyes. And then if you get the rash, stay home, you know? Maybe you don't want to spread it to everyone in your school. Now we're back to COVID days, right? BOB SEARS (GUEST): But recognize it, stay home if you catch it, but don't fear it and be well nourished so you're ready for it. And most importantly, if you catch measles, take high dose vitamin A. The CDC has always been very clear that high dose vitamin A reduces the risk of your measles infection. It reduces complications. The measles page on my website tells you all of this information, tells you how much vitamin A to take daily as a prevention, how to high dose vitamin A if you catch measles, what that protocol is. 

So you know what? Education is important, knowledge, not fear, and, you know, we'll get through this. And if we have to accept measles as a sort of a regular part of a society now moving forward, then we have to be ready for it.

TONY LYONS (MAHA ACTION PRESIDENT): Yeah. Bob, those are great, great points. I mean, you know, with most of these things in in the last, you know, 30, 40 years, we've always been fed just one side of the story. So we're trying to prevent a single measles death. So does that mean we should be willing to have autism rates that go from one in 10,000 to one in 30 or, you know, something like that? 

Or should we be able — you know, should we be fighting certain things while ignoring other things, while watching every child in the country have, you know, some kind of allergy now, versus 20, 30 years ago, where you could have a whole school where there was virtually no children who had an allergy to anything or virtually — you know, practically no obesity, no childhood cancers. So all of these kinds of things, they're a part of this story, right?BOB SEARS (GUEST): Exactly. And I think the old CDC focused way too heavily on disease prevention. If we could prevent an infection no matter what the cost to everyone in society, let's prevent it. Whereas I think wise people today, they look more at long term health, healthy living, healthy outcomes. And if we have to catch some infections along the way, yet live a healthier, longer, happier life while we're doing that, that's what I think is an important or more important aspect of health. And that's what I would love the CDC to focus on is long term well-being, not infection prevention.

TONY LYONS (MAHA ACTION PRESIDENT): Right. Great, great, great points.
