"Therapeutic Scholar-Hero" shares a category with "Social Justice Warrior" and even "Virtue Signal" as an attempted insult that is so much of a compliment that it only serves to highlight how out of alignment the morals of the person saying it are. Scholar-Hero? Warrior for Justice? Rad things to be
Nice...just referred to as "another face of the Therapeutic Scholar-Hero: more philosophical than performative, but still committed to dissolving material categories in favor of subjectivity" in a "gender-critical" snarky review of the downfall of anthropology at the recent AAA conference.

The birth dose has an up to 90% efficacy rate of protecting newborns from Hep B, which is incurable.
