I think they corrected it-- it initially did not say Yersinia pestis here. "Science has demonstrated that the same bacterium, Yersinia pestis, caused both outbreaks, bolstering arguments..." Thought maybe I missed a name change...

Okay, since now seems to have given his imprimatur to this piece in the today about & past plagues, it seems time for a mini-thread about & hot takes. : you might want to listen in on this, as it effects you, too.

Diarrheal ward in Lima’s biggest pediatric hospital. It’s prime gastro season, but since the Rotavirus vaccine was introduced in 2004... The ward remains empty.

Religious vaccine school exemptions have doubled in Iowa over the past five years, though no major religions prohibit immunizing children. But sure, Iowa lawmakers, we really need to increase awareness of the religious exemption. 🙄

I saw this on a dog adoption site. Very confused.

My previous article on cruise ships got me a lot of hate mail! I was kind of hesitant to dive into another discussion. :)

Not on the article itself. There are some people sharing screenshots of what happened on the news site's FB page.

The local news, , has the boy's story but nothing about how she spent time asking advice in her antivax group instead of listening to doctors.

It became evident yesterday that many people hadn't heard the good news. Please tell all your friends

I don't know. The echo chambers don't care, and many of us are banned from them because they don't allow dissent. FB was suddenly cracking down but...meh. Not effective. Maybe more media coverage to expose it? have you seen this one yet?

Unfortunately this type of thing happens often in antivax groups. Usually the child doesn't die but so many are likely harmed because their parents go to their echo chamber instead of getting medical care.

This is what happens when you distrust doctors (who want their patients to live) but trust nature (which doesn't give a damn.) It's a tragic story that could have had a better ending with modern medical care.

Lots of talk about case-fatality risks right now. Here's a paper on the challenges of estimating in an epidemic, written with colleagues during the outbreak. Many biases in both directions. Hard to suss which are greater
