zoux posted:How trumpy is the Michigan state GOP The last GOP Governor in Michigan is best known for poisoning Flint, but what a lot of people don't know is that he literally replaced mayors of a few cities because he deemed they were doing a bad job. All of which is to say, they were very trumpy before people even thought that Trump would seriously run.

zoux posted:Yeah it's called "bipolar disorder" and it's extremely hard to treat, or at least to get people to commit to treatment, since the leading therapies loving suck. One eventually did, but I think the other two had deeper issues still and I have no idea how that was ever going to turn out okay. In the end, "having lots of money" was only a complication, not anything which helped them versus having none. And I watch what McAfee did and it just gives me that feel. One thing I did conclusively learn from the saga, though, is how quickly and effectively some predatory industries can laser-target people in mental distress and attach the lamprey hooks, with every intent of keeping the new money ticket's personal dysregulation going as long as possible.

I just barely remember Sliwa from the news in...what 1985? Marching around in a beret with a goon squad. I wasn't especially politically or socially aware, but I pretty much assumed Guardian Angels was a bunch of working class whites beating up blacks with a wink and a nod from the police. Is it actually not lovely? The wiki doesn't really add much clarity.

By all accounts bipolar was just one of many otherwise huge things that mcafee was dealing with (almost all of them poorly). Dude was a piece of poo poo and in ways that have literally nothing to do with bipolar at all.

Missouri is about to ban any health plan that is subsidized or funded by the government from covering IUDs or Plan B.quote:Missouri GOP likely to include ban on birth control coverage in Medicaid tax compromise quote:Republicans now appear ready to negotiate an agreement on their own and haven’t sought the support of Democratic leadership. Including some form of a coverage ban would signal that top GOP officials hope to win over the most conservative and vocally anti-abortion senators. I like that there is no questioning why the most "most conservative and vocally anti-abortion senators" would be against IUDs and what they have to do with abortion. quote:Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo told The Star on Wednesday that Senate Majority Leader Caleb Rowden, following the meeting between Parson and GOP senators, told him that Republicans are working on a proposal that includes a Medicaid coverage ban on specific contraceptives. quote:which included a proposed coverage ban on the emergency contraceptives Plan B and Ella, and intrauterine devices (IUDs). The proposal also includes a ban on the abortion pill. quote:Some legislators and advocates have raised concerns that the bans could endanger federal funding for Medicaid. https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article252159208.html

Biden is extending the federal eviction moratorium. And the CDC finished the study of heart inflammation in vaccinated children, found that it happens in roughly 0.12% of kids over 12 (12-17), and does not recommend anyone not vaccinate their kids unless they have an existing heart condition. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/06/23/world/covid-vaccine-coronavirus-mask Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jun 23, 2021 |

BonoMan posted:What's the timeline on an under 12 vaccine? I want my 2 year old and 7 year old vaxxed asap I typo'd the original and meant to say kids over 12 (12-17) for the heart inflammation. A different story from today seems to say that September is the likely date, but it could be as late as January 2022. It depends on the initial test results and safety approval. quote:“For kids younger than 12 years of age, we know there are studies going on right now for Pfizer, for Moderna and for others, and we’re tracking those,” Dr. Choucair said. “The colleagues at the NIH and the FDA and the CDC will be reviewing those. Once we get the result of those data, the result of those trials, when we start seeing the data and they get evaluated by our scientists and HHS, that’s when we will know we’ll be able to have vaccines available for younger than 12 years of age.” Basically: September if everything goes off with no complications. January 2020 is everything goes wrong. Somewhere in between if there are minor issues.
