    It's getting harder and harder to distinguish the news from The Onion

    I don't think Onion articles make me angry.

    What could happen if the US ends global health funding?

    This I would call a lightly paywalled article because author's email (to request a full pdf) will come to you with a ~10 second internet search.

    "Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.
    Major physicians and public health groups criticized the move to oust all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices."

    RFK Jr. ousts ACIP group that advises CDC on vaccines | AP News

    this new HHS leader will without oversight etc. refill this committee before next meeting in 2 weeks. The Orwell stuff is that RFK Jr. will re-establish public confidence in vaccine science. He may appoint people not dis-barred medical doctors and not profiteering from internet wellness businesses. I only mention those because his earlier appointees have ticked those boxes.

    There are other louder Trump things happening now and it would be 'ill' to miss the froth at HHS.

    Just did myself. I fell in the period of time when they only gave kids a single MMR shot. Mumps was the only one that didn't hit the immune limit.

    Not knowing this, I had spoken with my pharmacist about this yesterday evening about the next COVID booster. She said "Typically in the Fall" which now sounds to be late.

    Oh well, I have my masks and know how to handle infectious diseases in public.
