More unbelievable #gaslighting:
#JDVance made the argument that #Trump is “a genuine humanitarian,” & said “he just wants the killing to stop.”
Right, the guy deporting #children with #cancer who are #UScitizens, sending #asylum seekers to #CECOT & now #Libya, separating #families, canceling #funding to combat #InfectiousDisease & to make heart pumps for #babies w/ heart defects, yeah he’s a real #humanitarian. Go fuck yourself JD.

The #CDC employees who staff the #children’s #vaccine program were *largely* untouched, 3 sources familiar w/the situation said.However, about 20 others were fired who comprised a unit that helped promote the program in #communities at high risk of #InfectiousDisease, including during the current #measles #outbreak, these sources said. These employees helped bolster the confidence in the safety & effectiveness of #vaccines, they said.
How much of what's accepted as ageing, organic weakness, bad luck or even a character defect actually are the echoes of a symphony of infections and/or the immune response?

The lab's efforts aren't duplicated anywhere, there's no $ to be made so the private sector won't step in, and this lab is key to fighting anti-microbial resistance.
“To me, this is like a blind man with a chainsaw has just gone through the system and arbitrarily cut things without any rationale.”
Fielding suggestions for part of my final project I'm doing for a Science Communication course: What are your favourite pieces of visual (i.e., film or TV) fictional media depicting infectious disease outbreaks/epidemics/pandemics?
