Who Will It Be????
Well, folks, it’s that time of the year again. No no … not the ‘holiday season’ … well, yeah, it is that too, but I was referring to Time Magazine’s Person of the Year! Tomorrow, Time will announce this year’s person. I looked at the list this afternoon and the first name stunned me … China’s Xi Jinping … the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. Okay, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, considering they nominated the former guy as recently as 2020. But still … shouldn’t Person of the Year be an honour held for people who have done and/or are doing something good in the world? Yes, I do realize that they don’t necessarily award it to ‘good’ people, but rather those who were the biggest newsmakers of the year, but still …
And it gets even better …
The U.S. Supreme Court in all their “glory”…

Cholera Returns to the U.S. — Precision Vaccinations
Although cholera in travelers is rare and sustained community transmission in the U.S. is unlikely, widespread cholera outbreaks in other countries highlight the need for clinicians to be prepared to treat travelers with cholera.
Currently, the CDC considers 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Haiti to have active cholera transmission.
Clinicians evaluating patients with acute onset of watery diarrhea should consider cholera in patients returning from affected regions, obtain a stool specimen for testing, and begin prompt treatment.

Anatomy of the GOP MAGA Voter, Part II / Focusing on Corporate Fossil Fuel Titans
Over several blogs, I’ve been beating to death how conservative corporate titans along with other hard right movers and shakers from the religious and legislative circles got together in the early 1970s to form the organization ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) followed by a myriad of political think tanks and activist offshoots in later years, to move forward on agendas that were mutually beneficial. Exxon and Koch Industries and other fossil fuel titans have been major ALEC players from its inception.

This GOP infrastructure of like thinking hard right reactionaries representing the religious, big business and legislative segments of the USA, had been evolving over 5 decades to push forward multiple big business and conservative interests including the promotion of climate change science denialism as they simultaneously worked to increase fossil fuel usage while interfering with the US making progress in tackling climate change.
