The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Texas Measles Outbreak? WTF...
All of the cases are in unvaccinated people or those who have unknown vaccination status. Among the 48 cases, 13 have been hospitalized.
A record share of US kindergartners had an exemption for required vaccinations last school year, leaving more than 125,000 new schoolchildren without coverage
for at least one state-mandated vaccine, according to data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in October.
Coverage of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is particularly low in Gaines County Texas, where nearly 1 in 5 incoming kindergartners in the 2023-24 school year did not get the vaccine.
The 18% vaccine exemption rate for the county is one of the highest in the state, according to data from the Texas health department.

Also just in:
"Brain Worms Kennedy says panel will examine childhood vaccine schedule after promising not to change it."
In his comments Tuesday, Kennedy promised that a new “Make America Healthy Again” commission would investigate vaccines, pesticides and antidepressants to see if they have contributed to a rise in chronic illnesses.
