One of the ways we know the perinatal dose of Hepatitis B vaccine makes a difference? NHANES & the people who powered it

ACIP recommended the birth dose in 1991. The prevalence of Hepatitis B among children 6–19 years old declined 68% from 1988–1994 to 1999-2006.

Jared Leto, more than any other actor, makes me think of what Robert Pattinson said about method actors in a 2019 Variety interview:

Pictured: Screenshot of excerpted text from a larger Variety interview (Nov 13, 2019):

Text displayed:

Though Pattinson respects the practice of method acting – a technique in which a performer strives for complete emotional identification with a role, both on and off screen – it’s not a style which he practices himself. “I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an a–holes,” Pattinson admitted. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Hot take the shutdown isn't ending in the normal way. They'll use the doge backdoor to force the treasury to pay ice and the military. They'll make insane demands to congress in exchange for turning on that whole services part of the government

This reminds me a bit of an article about dating in Soviet East Germany. A doctor complained that he used to be able to just say he's a doctor but without the wage disparity he had to compete with guys who were funny or interesting

I can’t get over that Guardian article about Chatfishing. These people are the blandest and most vapid people around. Holy shit just google it and think about something.

Jamil, 25, from Leicester, admits he's a prolific Chatfisher but argues that Al is simply a workaround for what he sees as the coded jargon of modern dating. "Like, what do you mean
'What's my attachment style?'" he balks. "Every girl on the apps has this thing about love languages' - it's just gibberish, but if you don't talk about it, people are like, 'Oh you're a red flag."
