US Faces $7.8 Billion Measles Risk as Vaccination Rates Decline, Study Finds A sustained drop in childhood vaccinations could cost the US about $7.8 billion in measles outbreaks over five years, a new study found.

Not getting vaccinated against a preventable disease will cost anti-vax Americans: $7.8B over 5 yrs.

Measles cases alone cost us $244M in costs. A 1% annual decline in MMR vaccine among young children will result in 17000 cases/yr + 4000 hospitalizations & death.

Comparison between modeled and proxy-derived ranges of atmospheric pCO₂ during the Phanerozoic. Panels (A), (B), and (C) show comparisons for the Paleozoic (∼541–251.9 Ma), Mesozoic (251.9–66.0 Ma), and Cenozoic (∼66 Ma–present), respectively. In each panel, the modeled pCO₂ range reflects simulations in which volcanic outgassing rates are varied within plausible bounds, and is compared with proxy-based reconstructions for the corresponding interval. The results indicate that variations in outgassing exert a first-order control on long-term pCO₂ variability, with no statistically significant difference (p-value >0.05) between the modeled ranges and proxy-derived estimates.

Sometimes I nead to deal with the line "if no one was burning fossil fules in the geologic past, how come we got temprature spikes?"
The answer is outgassing by deep Earth processes, which can tap huge carbon pools. 🧪

This is true for so many infections... viral #hepatitis is a case in point - for #HCV we have fantastic, safe and curative medicines, & for #HBV a robust preventive vaccine & effective suppressive antiviral medication. We need more innovation, but education, implementation & advocacy are key. 🧪

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart:

“This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

Love the the Artemis crew.

Four extraordinary humans: brilliant, disciplined, and deeply mission-driven.

What stands out even more than their intelligence is their character.

Kindness. Positivity. Humility. Empathy.

The future of space exploration shouldn’t just be bold, it should be human.

I think people are only debating whether Donald Trump is currently going through cognitive decline because he's always been so phenomenally stupid, it's hard to tell.

I’m beginning to believe the Epstein Files contain the worst crimes ever exposed in North American history.

Dan Rather represents an era when journalism wasn't as polarized into political groups. I miss those days. 😭
