Despite being a small minority of the population, almost all of the people infected in the ongoing measles outbreak are unvaccinated. The outbreak could be quashed by vaccinating their communities, but instead, America will lose its measles elimination status next month.

Here's something that has gotten a lot better over time. Compared to 45-50 years ago, survival rates for a range of pediatric cancers are up significantly.

Age-adjusted gun homicide rates are 32x higher in the US than Australia.

Americans turned themselves back into medieval peasants

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We cured diseases, fed billions, and powered nations - and people ran toward conspiracies instead.

Steve Smith changes his gloves every 4 overs. Ban that shit.

5 minutes to drinks. Batsmen have a guy come out with gloves, some hand spray, a drink, a towell. Should be banned. Slow over rates are fixable. #Ashes2025

There's been no increase in autism over time. What there has been is an increase in diagnoses of people who wouldn't have been diagnosed in previous generations.

By an enormous coincidence, every aspect of culture peaked when you were a teenager: music, movies, fashion, you name it. And the amazing thing is that this applies no matter how old you are! [Link below.]

@slotkinjr @nytimes @Waymo @JeffDean I think a really good point is that whether we like it or not - insurance companies will be a major force to make this transition one way or another. "you wanna drive your own car? fine, but it will be 10x the premium of a driverless vehicle"

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982. This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-year-old son played tennis on the White House grounds without wearing socks. He got a blister, and a week later was dead from infection. This is nearly unthinkable today — a result of astounding progress humankind has made over the past century.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Kentucky, becoming the third child to die of pertussis in the past 12 months across the state. The Kentucky Dept. for Public Health confirmed none of the infants had been vaccinated, nor had their mothers. https://t.co/a4RqRPVDmH
