JVL, thank you for having Katelyn. I read her substack - she does a fantastic job of making epidemiology accessible to an average reader. I don't have a lot of empathy for these idiot parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. If it was just the adults, I would say let Darwin have his way. But the kids are innocent and they don't deserve to get measles, which could even kill them - because of the stupidity of their parents. One thing we're all going to be facing this upcoming fall and winter is that vaccines will likely be less available in the US.. Kennedy has canceled the annual March meeting where CDC formulates the vaccine for the latest strain of flu as it continues to evolve. So at best, the vaccine will be late. I actually fear that with the reduced uptake there may not be enough market for vaccines in this country that drug makers will even sell it here. Trump plans to deny Federal funding to schools and colleges that have vaccine requirements. And people who lose Medicaid will not have access to healthcare. This all adds up to a lesser demand for flu and covid vaccines. We need to be ready to travel to Canada to get our shots
