I went looking for proof Western Michigan got robbed.

Unfortunately, I’m now somewhat confident Michigan deserved the extra play 😭

Used Astra to sync two camera angles, check the visible stadium-clock ticks, and examine the first touch frame by frame.

Both possible frames when the ball was first touched leave time remaining. Even using the latest possible frame & shifting the sync one frame against Michigan leaves about 0.03 seconds on the clock..

Don't hate me for this, it hurts me as much as you 🥲

Data for vaccine benefit in children
"Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, including 146 million among children younger than 5 years of whom 101 million were infants younger than 1 year."

The most striking benefit was for vaccination vs measles (Figure)
The childhood vaccine distortions today by executive order will further add to the marked increase in US measles cases, currently the highest in 35 years.

I’ll say it again (and polling supports it) - anything RFK/ MAHA does positively for health will be overshadowed in the eyes of most Americans -and voters- if we continue to be overrun by preventable infectious diseases.

We’ve already lost $100 million in direct costs + loss productivity due to measles alone! 🤯

Vaccines were uncontroversial at the time because everyone had witnessed, first hand, the ravages of these diseases. We’ve had public amnesia since. And, if we’re honest, the anti-vax movement started on the privileged left who started to freeloaded and not getting their kids vaccinated, relying on herd immunity of the time to stake this “enlightened position” that also didn’t risk their kids. Their kids were not at risk bc everyone else did the right thing by getting their kid vaxxed. In doing so, they set the stage by being the first to inject doubt about vaccines into social circles and public discourse.

RFK Jr is a product - and then grifter - of this movement, turning it from a fringe few into mainstream anti-vax, now, oddly enough, now longer a fringe left position but also entrenched in the far right. The ultimate horseshoe.

With more and more not getting vaccinated, society dropped below the threshold needed for herd immunity. Unsurprisingly, as predicted and as warned, we now have record-setting measles cases because of this, and it will take years and decades to get back to common sense about vaccines.

Thank you to the selfish “progressives” who freeloaded early on and thus created fertile ground for RFK jr and his ilk to exploit. Thank you to Donald Trump for elevating the most dangerous outspoken anti-vaxxer in the country into the top health position in the US where he could maximize his influence and toll on our kids. A plague on all our houses.

The most dangerous part of viral infections isn’t always the initial illness:

Measles can erase immune memory

Influenza can trigger pneumonia and heart attacks

COVID can affect nearly every organ

HPV and hepatitis cause cancer

Vaccination and prevention save lives.
