The road was dark and ran through the woods.
Ahead was a bridge spanning a creek, and as I expected, a woman in white was standing on my side of that bridge. She was going to ask me to help her look for her baby.

About 1/3 of the deaths were from vaccine-preventable disease.
RFK Jr. wasn’t in office yet, but he’s been a leader in spreading lies for 20 years, and his influence is now wholly unchecked. Trouble ahead.
