How do you get over 100% of population vaccinated or with second dose?

You can do a lot of good graphics in MSExcel. All kinds of easy options for bar graphs, etc. Although I will say the latest versions are a bit less intuitive!

Here is a graph I intended to post about three months ago. It shows the death rates for ages 20-64 of all races by party by year from 2018 through 2023. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Population #Think #News

The most interesting thing I find in the graph is the differences in changes from 2020, the first year of COVID which was without immunization, and 2021 the first year with vaccine. I guess I should look at that and provide some numbers by party. Let me know if you would like to that.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Everyone wants to lower the cost of health care, right? Giving a combined MMR shot to kids lowers health costs, because you're just paying for one injection/one clinic, not three. Also, every $1 spent on vaccination programs saves up to $44.

As long as Rs are in the majority, Ds can't get anything considered by full House or Senate without at least some R support. If only a few Rs would wake up and find their spines. 🤞

Plenty of Federal $$$ for DT,

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

One more giant step backward for green energy in the US. ⏬️

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · 3d

The entire point of Esmeralda 7 was that it was one big mega-project comprised of many solar farms at once, and the environmental review was nearly done

Ending the review and forcing each facility to go through its own review is canceling the mega-project!

Republicans are aiming next to dismantle the marine mammal protection act, which protects whales, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, and sea otters.. among other ocean wildlife. 🦦

Weird that I'm now seeing your post here after I just read about the bill to end the 1970s marine mammal legislation to protect these beautiful creatures.

US policy could make a big difference here. Unfortunately, under the current regime we are taking a very misguided giant step backward.

New World!

~50% of global auto sales will be EV by 2030

~52% of global electricity will be renewables (43%) & nuclear (9%)

Petrostate politicos freakout, as Age of Fossil Fuels is ending.

But not fast enough to prevent major temperature rise & growing climate risks. #energysky
