Vaccine rates are well below average in the ultra-orthodox communities at about 77% and they are closely grouped the risks of measles spreading is higher. Herd immunity should be 95% or greater. Similar numbers in the US this year too. Gaines County in West Texas really suffered. Two children in Texas (unvaccinated, no underlying conditions) died…[Read more]

Jake,

As a fellow Israel supporter, I gotta ask a Seinfeldian question, though very seriously and completely out concern for the safety and survival of Israelis:

“What’s Up With That?”

Over 1,700 cases of measles diagnosed in Israel
The areas currently defined as outbreak zones are Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Harish, Modi’in Illit, N…[Read more]

Pope,

I gave it a listen. Did not know what i was missin. But nothing too awful surprising.

When, when, when will there be an intellectual movement that pins causation properly? No, we all, almost all demonize the others. It is written in stone that if serious conflicts break out in Europe between Muslims and nonmuslims we will see all kinds…[Read more]

I thought I could finally catch up on sleep and relax a bit, but ran into this Legal AF video explaining how the SCOTUS partisan takeover has been in the cards for decades.

Thanks Enco. I am very experienced in spotting the narrow-minded and dangerous idiots who get frustrated and angry when finding themselves incapable of responding rationally to facts. I have manned Atheist Ireland tables around the country over the years and encountered all types of weirdos and religious bigots. I usually take a Socratic approach…[Read more]

Jake,

Links have been doing that lately, especially if they are to magazines. Reg might be of assistance here.

I don’t normally read National Review, but they were the ones to originally break the Jay Jones story that the other news outlets cited. National Review also is very good about veering away from dignifying the looney conspiratorial…[Read more]
