I was a pre-school kid during final summers before first polio vaccine appeared.
GOP leader of that time, Eisenhower, didn’t urge parents to take their kids to swimming pools in the summer to “exercise your constitutional rights.” Or that polio was Demo hoax (despite FDR link). https://t.co/YThwDUB6Nu

Also worth noting that when billionaires do sacrifice a tiny sliver of their wealth for the public good they are praised to high heaven.

Fascinating example of data manipulation.
Since the Economist calculates inflation based on the prices of Big Macs over time, the government "convinced" McDonald's to keep the prices of Big Macs low to convey the idea that inflation was low. Why would the gov't want to manipulate inflation? (2/4) pic.twitter.com/eBGiMkI6gY

Anyone else see a potential for perverse incentives?

Speaking of the conservative movement losing control of the lunatic fringe (though in all fairness, plenty of anti-vaxxers on the left as well).Dr. Fauci tells me in an interview he has grown uneasy about the name "Operation Warp Speed," which is already fueling anti-vaccine misinformation at a time when the Trump administration desperately needs the public on board with immunization. https://t.co/owCGB2q016

In the Coulter/Trump relationship, it's important to remember Ann has always been the Dom. That might make for some interesting developments.
COVID gave Trump a chance to be a decent, compassionate human being (or pretending to be). But he couldn't even do that. https://t.co/fIzHtmbOfR
