In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food.
The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.

Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter

The CDC website was quietly edited last night to claim there’s “no evidence” that vaccines don’t cause autism.
This is false.
But this is damaging, even beyond people’s confidence in vaccines.
For the first time in my career, I cannot tell people to trust what the CDC website without hesitation.
