@jik One of my sibs is now as antivax as RFK thanks to #antivax propaganda that got very slick in 2020. The book How Fascism Works talks about how fash propaganda fractures our previously shared reality, which makes it easier for fascists to take & keep power.
In a recent #TWIV episode, the host shared a story from the recent American Society for Virology conference: "SSPE. This is a late sequalae to #measles. It is uniformly fatal. It is rare. But. These kids who had measles, cuz they weren't vaccinated, they get this disease, neurological degeneration and they all die. & when they're sick, the parents call my host, Roberto Cattaneo, and say, 'What can I do? The doctors tell me there's nothing to do. Can we #vaccinate him now?' Parents don't understand. This is rare but you will lose your child if he gets SSPE. So get vaccinated. . . . [The incidence is] 1 in [10,000 but] if the child gets it in the first year of life, the incidence is 1 in 600."

Proud to be a supporter of This Week in Video Games. The statement TWIV got from the Saber CEO about their next game is completely unhinged.

#TWIV 1314 clinical update 16.Apr.2026
Today's quote:
"Ocean waves begin their journey thousands of miles out at sea. Their form, size, and shape come from the speed of prevailing winds in the atmosphere, the power of currents hidden beneath the sea and their long fetch, the distance between a wave's point of origin and its point of arrival. Events that seem to appear in the present from out of nowhere in actuality have a long history behind them."
