And as soon as RFK Jr started croaking, he immediately lied.

So fucking proud that as an absentee ex-pat voter that Wyden is my senator. He loves work and governance and democracy. He’s self-deprecating, listens to his constituents, and is why I still keep an Oregon address in the US.
I used to go to his town halls . . . he listens . . .

Timing a flu shot is getting really tricky.
Do I get it now and risk being less protected during the usual late-winter surge?
Or do I wait until my usual late October and risk the vaccine being pulled from pharmacies by then?
Decisions, decisions.
FWIW, and weighing my choice, was 2012, when I got influenza in April after the protection had waned.

To paraphase an old joke: How do you know RFK Jr is lying? His lips are moving.

On 27 August CDC director Susan Monarez was forced out after reportedly refusing to support Kennedy’s vaccine policy and to fire CDC staff members. Some senior scientists at the agency immediately resigned.3
In response, nine former CDC directors published a statement in the New York Times saying, “Kennedy is endangering every American’s health.” They said Monarez was right and that they would not have agreed to Kennedy’s demands.
Full statement:

If Tren were as clever and diabolical as the administration says, one of them would get a job as a gardener at Mar a Lago. You know the IDs aren’t being checked.

Trump — fully immunized for his official acts by the Roberts Court — has dispensed with even putting on a show of legally justifying this week’s attack
No President needs to. Besides, no one knows what’s legal anymore.

The officials logic makes sense. A drug smuggler would want to pack the boat with as much drugs as possible, so they would minimize the crew onboard. 11 people is not minimal. They were likely smuggling people.

Trump says “terrorists”
Are we sure they weren’t refugees?
Edit
Eleven people on a small boat doesn’t leave much room for drugs

It’s crazy to me that this guy has the complete lack of self-awareness to be spouting this neo-Darwinist, eugenics crap with a voice that scream (or burbles, I guess) “weak genes.” Or in his parlance, mitochondrial compromise.

Bessant outs Trump. Says not tariff deals, but only frameworks of a deal.

It is the new one. I was haunting the websites of cvs, Walgreens, and UPMC. The cvs came up with a store about a 22 min drive from me. I leapt on it and hopped in the car. The person said the shots had come in about 2 hours prior to when i got mine.
