1/ This was entirely preventable; the harm to the children is indefensible.

2/ Every Washington legislator should vote for the legislation ASAP, which would at least ameliorate the problem somewhat. But the amendment is too modest.

3/ If politically feasible, it ought to be expanded to eliminate the indefensible "personal and philosophical" exemptions to immunizations other than MMR, and to eliminate the religious exemption for MMR, which will, if it's retained, raise serious constitutional questions.

When his lawyers told Trump he'd face tough sledding in court, this--and not the question of whether there's an "emergency"--is almost certainly what they had in mind.

To similar effect, see @CassSunstein here.

On the other hand, there's another, much more significant legal question to consider ("Where's the $2.5 billion for fence-building?") before we even get to emergency declarations, the NEA, and 2808.

1/ If I'm understanding the Administration rollout, the emergency declaration won't even be relevant for years, because allegedly they'll first spend $2.5 billion for implementation of 284(b)(7) authority to construct "fences" to block drug smuggling corridors.

@just_security
2/ Has anyone figured out where that $2.5 billion would be found? The most recent DOD appropriations law only appropriates $881 million for all DOD drug interdiction activities combined.

3/ Perhaps it's more important we figure this out before worrying about the emergency declaration.

1/ Legislative decisions don't get much easier than this one. Whatever their motives, the protestors are irrationally and cruelly advocating child neglect. The bill would at least ameliorate the problem somewhat. Truth be told, though . . .

2/ the amendment (see below) is far too modest--a half-measure. If politically feasible, it ought to be expanded to eliminate the indefensible "personal and philosophical" exemptions to immunizations other than MMR, and . . .

3/ . . . to eliminate the religious exemption for MMR, which will, if it's retained, raise serious constitutional questions, not to mention continued suffering and death of children.

It's been 2 years since I posted this blog, and it's still one of my favourites.

Here's a tweetorial on herd immunity, and why it's pretty cool #VaccinesWork medium.com/@gidmk/herd-im…
First, let's get something out of the way:

Herd immunity has nothing to do with cows! Saying "people aren't cows" is just displaying your ignorance for all to see
So, what is herd immunity?

At its most basic level, it is simply maths

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
