We'll have a newborn this COVID/FLU season, and I'll be able to get it since I'm pregnant, but my husband, a HS teacher, and daughter who goes to daycare won't putting the baby at risk! This is frankly absurd, and completely against everything I was taught about public health!

"Each vaccine on the childhood schedule is a triumph of science and medicine over disease" And thankfully, we have eradicated many diseases WITH vaccines. Do we really want them back? Do we really want to fear more for our children's lives than we already do?

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Understand this: Elon Musk’s wealth is tied directly to contracts and regulations from the government agencies he now controls. He spent over $280 million to elect Trump and now he's cashing in — AND they got rid of the inspectors general who could hold him accountable. Gross corruption.

A reminder about the value of preorders: Someone just placed an order for the new Joan Didion book coming out in April. We hadn't heard about it yet and promptly ordered five more for the store. If there's a book you're excited about, place a preorder! You might help other people find it, too! 💙📚
