Having a higher vaxx rate than another place is not the same as having a high-enough vaxx rate to stop Delta.
We actually have a high vaxx rate for measles: *95% of kindergarteners every year*
Now *that's* a high vaxx rate.
Mandated in every state.
*2* measles cases in 2021.

Retweeting from two years ago. Sadly, Baldwin's words are still timely.
Happy Birthday, #JamesBaldwin!

“Now this is the evidence. You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children on some idealism which you assure me exists in America, which I have never seen.” Happy Birthday, James Baldwin.🙏🏿

“Howard University has rivaled the likes of Amazon and Wal-Mart in their efforts to first block and then break the Union of non-tenure-track faculty. The Administration waged a propaganda campaign to undo organizing efforts.”

Let get some future #BlackMenInMedicine on their way by getting high school kids in this @TSUedu and @MeharryMedical combined undergrad/Med School program!! We need kids from all over.
But, I am sure some of our NOPS and NOLA private school kids would be excellent!

My father in Cairo weeks before he’d be assassinated at age 39. Despite following his every move an FBI informant called him, “a man of high moral character who neither smokes nor drinks.” He spoke truth to power, and we know that truth is timeless. Rest In Peace, Dad 2/21/1965🌟

Congrats and love to Amy Goodman as well as everyone on the team at @democracynow celebrating 25 indispensable years on the air. In an era of corporate, pro-war, right wing drift in mainstream media, what Amy and her team have accomplished is a precious miracle.
