By 2022, 453,000+ cases reported among military personnel. Deaths included 64 soldiers, 16 airmen, 17 sailors, and at least two Marines. Other DoDs: 417 civilians, 141 contractors, and 36 dependents affiliated with the DoD." Long term effects to family and friends, in the tens of thousands my guess.
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

In 2010, I was interviewed by 'Marketplace' and Kai Ryssdal about my 'Travel Song.' My segment starts at 14:39. My song was 'Storms are the Ocean.' www.marketplace.org/story/2010/1...

A study finds that less than half of US infants exposed to hepatitis C are tested, and fewer are treated.
Of those exposed in utero or at birth, only 42% were tested, but that rate dropped to 32% by the end of the study period.

Why I care about other people's vaccination status I see some version of this question a lot across social media: why do you care about my child's vaccination status if you/your loved ones are vaccinated? Here’s my answer. Deplatform Disease
It's been a minute since I've uploaded anything on my blog (I'm sorry—it's been chaos) but here's one that I've wanted to get out for a little bit:

Any adult not participating in the white supremacist natalist project isn’t fully human in their view.
This.
I started feeling protective of kids in my neighborhood long before I wanted my own. They were not mine, but they are part of my community and keeping them safe is a shared responsibility as a social creature.
I think that it’s part of the white supremacist natalist obsession. J.D. Vance has called childless women “childless cat ladies” and called for the childless to have fewer votes than those with children. www.buzzfeed.com/morgansloss1...
Damn right I am taking the feminist position to protest these points. Because "men are intrinsically devoid of the nurturing instinct" is in no way a feminist position if we think about this for even 10 seconds. Not sure who this person is but this ain't good for women.
this is the sort of person who absolutely needs men to be like this so that they can maintain their social media persona
Also I rather suspect the academic achievement gap - boys now trail girls substantially in the aggregate - has a lot to do with these sorts of attitudes pushing male teachers out of primary school education.
It is bad and false to tell boys and men that they aren't and cannot be nurturers.
impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community
