A German doctor whose hospital treated an unvaccinated boy who later died of diphtheria told our reporter of the infection: “It was taught as history,” he said. In the U.S., measles was taught as history, too. Now it isn’t.

To be honest, I'm somewhat agnostic about data centers. What I am very concerned about, though, is the secrecy and subterfuge with which tech firms and municipalities and, in the case of Texas Tech, universities negotiate. It does nothing to build any confidence in the process.
