@EIDgeek on X. Stopping by to see lots of people I miss!
It's outrageous that CDC delays measles dose 2 (which is NOT a booster) till age 4-6 years, despite saying it can be given any time 28 days or more after dose 1.
They say it's TERRIBLE to delay any vaccines.
They worry about "measles roaring back." (me too)
And they blame OTHERS for disinformation!

What is your evidence that most vaccine hesitants/refusers worry more about the NEEDLES than about the number of vaccine DOSES? My strong impression is that they mostly worry about too many vaccine doses, chemicals, and all that stuff. I don't worry about that, but I do respect THEIR worries.

Be forewarned, Jason. There is still a lot of snark, and blocking of reasonable thoughtful respectful people with views others don't like, and ad hominem attacks. I'm going to use the Snark Index I developed on Twitter, and see how the numbers evolve now that this site is being swarmed.

Jason, go back and check your Twitter note saying that you are now on bsky as (link) "@jasongale." Not everyone on Twitter knows to add .bsky.social or whatever group a person is in. I added a note to you there too, but don't know if you are still checking it!
