For centuries, humanity waged war to eradicate us, but you, dear Trump supporter, have done everything in your power to welcome us back. You have gutted public health infrastructure, sabotaged disease research, and convinced yourselves that modern medicine is a plot against you. Truly, it is rare to find a species so deliberately self-destructive, and for that, I must extend my deepest appreciation.
Too true. Measles and whooping cough are already charging back in this country. The saddest thing is that we came SO CLOSE to eradicating wild poliovirus--down to a dozen cases in one recent year. Now it will come roaring back, at enormous cost in lives and dollars. You should read my book, Ending Epidemics: A History of Escape from Contagion. Now I may have to write the sequel. https://www.amazon.com/Ending-Epidemics-History-Escape-Contagion/dp/0262047969
Ben & Liz and their baby Atty were out in Portland, too. Also George and Ann Penniman from Essex. We hit the Hands Off protest in Deep River for an hour, then ducked out so I could go back to bed and nurse a cold.
i have canceled my entire Amazon account, not just Prime, and have been boycotting every other store on your list since January.
i am also boycotting New York Times and The Atlantic for their obvious roles in manufacturing consent for the Gaza atrocities and crackdowns on student protesters.
no billionaire (or propagandist) deserves our business anymore.

Your book is right in my wheelhouse. I’m ordering it now!
Dick,
You’ll be glad to know that Emily marched this morning with Oliver and family in Portland. Fortunately, the sleety rain held off until yhe afternoon.

Thanks Dick, marching in DC tomorrow.
The big time. I envy you. I think we're marching in New London.
thank you for this primer!

Good correction, Eran. I knew about the NYT on Gaza, but not The Atlantic.
