Masking negotiations for medical care are a thorn in my side. After weeks of "policy doesn't require respirators" I said I was not doing the procedure if they wouldn't mask. Now: "This can be discussed with the physician at the time of the appointment."

I resent having to negotiate to protect my health. I resent that "policy" doesn't give a fuck about my health.

Hank Green on vaccines, the Clean Air Act, smoke detectors, etc.

“The tragedy of prevention goes like this: The most effective way to save lives (prevention) is the least noticeable, which leads us to undervaluing it in our individual choices, in what we celebrate, and in public policy, and that undervaluing of prevention leads to a great deal of needless death and suffering.”

"This is the weird, frustrating, beautiful thing about prevention. When it works, nothing happens. There's no story. There are no first responders, no Hank Beat Measles party, no documentary films. Just a bunch of parents taking their kids to school, who in another world, wouldn't be doing that."

I appreciated Hank's short video:

Lancet study reveals that vaccines have saved 154 million lives over the past 50 years, mostly infants, or 6 lives per minute. This would make the advent of vaccines the single greatest contribution to keeping babies alive. The measles vaccine has been the most significant, accounting for 60% of the lives saved due to immunization.

All that will likely change, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr. Not only are fewer people being vaccinated because of irrational and unfounded fear of vaccines, promoted by hucksters like RFK. The Trump administration's slashing of USAID and other international aid will also reduce vaccination rates among the poorest and most vulnerable children in the world.

When asked by Rep Mark Pocan (D-Wisconsin) if #RFKJr would #vaccinate his own children against #measles today, #HHS Secy Kennedy paused before answering & said “probably.” He went on to say “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me” & did not answer directly whether he would vaccinate his own children against #ChickenPox & #polio today.
