I didn’t know this was out - I must get it!! I’m seriously out of the loop on far too many authors & new releases & need to figure out how to track new releases without over working my long covid brain. It’s a tightrope balance some days

If preventing infant deaths and protecting children’s mental health no longer “align with departmental priorities,” then the public deserves a clear answer to one question: What does?

Well, EPA, CDC and FDA seem effectively gone (already or very soon), then presumably NSF and then NIH.
Fewer vaccines, more supplements.
Only real question: what can states (or coalitions of states) who still follow science do? I hope state gov'ts are thinking hard.

"All or nothing" is a logical fallacy the right has been using for years, if not decades.

"This measure doesn't solve the problem completely--therefore we must not take this measure" has been used to torpedo any number of policies that did have the power to help Americans (& enhance US prosperity).

I have a (slowly healing) left knee MCL tear. There seems to be a lot of tearing things going around these days. I hope your knee/ACL is better/healing/healed!
