Today in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion news...

In 2020, the a foundation named for Dwight D. Opperman, a wealthy businessman who died in 2013, created a an award in Ruth Bader Ginsburg's name. The award was designated to recognize "women leaders in their respective fields".

Until this year, when someone decided that men should be included in the award competition, because the Foundation "thought RBG’s teachings regarding EQUALITY should be practiced".

Who received the RBG Leadership Award this year? Michael Milken (billionaire and convicted felon), Rupert Murdoch (billionaire, media mogul and right-wing zealot), Elon Musk (billionaire and all around gadfly), Sylvester Stallone and Martha Stewart (convicted felon). Leaders, all.

At the Ginsburg family's request, the award ceremony has been canceled.

I saw that on the TV. Apparently, the woman in charge of that is some kind of right-wing fanatic. I bet she thought she was being clever.

In 2023, the US had a total of 58 cases of measles for the entire year. Yesterday, the US met that milestone of 58 cases in the first 3 months of 2024.

There are now cases in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York City, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington. And the number of cases is increasing weekly because we have a large population of children whose parents never had them immunized for measles.

I was vaccinated in the late 50s. I didn't know why and the needle hurt a bit. (The polio vaccine came in a sugar cube.) I was still in grade school when I learned that measles could kill.

I don't understand today's anti-vaxers who put their trust (and the lives of their children) in conspiracy theories.
 
It's mass hysteria, disinformation, and an internet business culture that values cash over accuracy or public health. This is what we get when no rules apply, and there is no accountability.

That's also true of other things.

This seems to be a recurring theme in far right politics... it's the same game that gave us Ben Carson as Secretary of HUD and Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education.

Mr Opperman was a Democratic donor until his death in 2013. The stories that were in the press cited "Julie Opperman" as the source for the "cleverness", with a couple of sources saying that Julie Opperman was Dwight Opperman's daughter. I don't think that's his daughter. It sounds like it's the second wife. According to Mr. Opperman's Wikipedia article, in 2008 when he was 85 years old, he married a woman named Julie Chrysten. Shades of Rupert Murdoch and J. Howard Marshall.

Also of note, there's a big mansion in the Phoenix area that was purchased 6 months before Mr Opperman's death. It was purchased for $7,725,456, paid in cash. That's a lot to spend when you're 89 years old and you're probably not going to be living there very long. I wonder who might have been the person who wanted that (trophy) house?

The measles, mumps & rubella (MMR) shot is given in the fat on upper arm. It does sting a bit. But it's a fair trade-off for a lifetime of immunity to these three diseases.

A few years back, a now-banned member of JUB was arguing against vaccines. At that time, I thought to myself that it must be nice to have never seen a child turning blue because of whooping cough. Or a kid with a bad case of measles, or a child who grew up deaf because they had measles as an infant. Or a child with heart defects and cataracts because their mother contracted rubella when she was pregnant.

Many of us who grew up when these childhood diseases were still commonplace are more trusting of the science... the same science that gave these anti-vaxxers the luxury of worrying that the shots were more dangerous than the actual disease.

What I cannot explain is how it is that people like Musk and Dr Ladapo have fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. It seems like an episode of "The Twilight Zone".
 
^ I hear on the news that for kids, MMR is a two dose series. I had one MMR shot in 2009, 15 years ago. Should adults get boosters now because of this outbreak?

It depends on why you received the one shot.

People who were born before 1957 are presumed to have been exposed to measles as a child. In some cases, if they ran a blood test, which did not find measles antibodies in your blood, they would have recommended that you get a single booster. That one shot is all that is needed.

The current MMR shot contains a dose of live but weakened measles virus. Some of the earlier version of the vaccine administered dead virus and this version of the vaccine seems to not have conferred lifetime immunity in some people. If you received the measles shot before 1967, they may have give you a booster with the newer version of the vaccine. That one dose should be all you need.

The next time you see your doctor, ask him to run a titer blood test to check to see if you have antibodies. If you do, there's no need to repeat the MMR.

Thanks. That's why. When I started work (in I.T.) at a hospital in 2009, as part of the hiring process, they took blood to test vaccination status for basically everything. They said I needed it. I did have measles when I was 5, but I don't remember ever having the other two or any other MMR type shot either. So maybe they gave me the shot to make sure all three were covered.

So in general for everyone, what you're saying is, if you had measles as a kid, or had a post 1967 shot, you don't need booster shot? Correct?

I've seen a lot of employee health nurses administer the vaccine when a new employee can't produce vaccination records but the standard of care is to do a titer before adminstering it.

We usually do a blood titer to confirm, in event there is any doubt.

If you received the booster in 2009, you meet the requirement of a single booster for non-healthcare worker adults. Those doing direct patient care who titer negative are required to get two shots.


Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccination | CDC

What Everyone should know about the MMR vaccine. What is the MMRV vaccines? Who should and should not get these vaccines? How well do these vaccines work, and what are the possible side effects?
www.cdc.gov www.cdc.gov
Adults

Adults who do not have presumptive evidence of immunity should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine.

Certain adults may need 2 doses. Adults who are going to be in a setting that poses a high risk for measles or mumps transmission should make sure they have had two doses separated by at least 28 days. These adults include:
  • students at post-high school education institutions
  • healthcare personnel
  • international travelers

I agree. Trump voters have reversed the JFK quote now it’s ‘Ask what the country can do for you ask not what you can do for your country’. Global retrenchment can both reduce the defense budget and solve the SS and Medicare funding issues. Beware defense hawks.

The horde would just blame Biden. They never stop licking the asshole that shits in their collective mouth. It's deeply co-dependant.
 
I have no doubt that the blame will be placed on the Dems.

And that the entitlement collecting trailer dwellers that keep forking over a portion of their dole to the RNC/TrumpCo. will never. ever. not stop sending their last dollars to him as long as it means that no black woman ever sits in the cheezy gilded furniture in the Trump penthouse.
 
Kirk is also the one who openly called for the end of democracy in America in his speech at CPAC. The guy is not only a creep. He is now a menace.

Law Clerks Quit On Judge Aileen Cannon

Her slowness in the Trump documents case could be due to personnel problems in chambers.
davidlat.substack.com davidlat.substack.com
In addition to the sheer importance of the role played by clerks in the judicial process, here are additional facts underscoring the significance of Judge Aileen Cannon having two (or more) clerks quit on her:
  1. A federal district judge usually hires only two to three law clerks each year, so for two clerks to quit is quite notable. It’s nothing like a few associates quitting a 1,000-lawyer firm. And Judge Cannon, who took the bench in November 2020, has been a judge for less than four years—so she’s probably had a total of only eight to twelve clerks over her entire tenure.
  2. As followers of the clerkship world well know, it’s highly unusual for a clerk to quit on a judge. Because a federal judicial clerkship typically lasts one year and is an extremely valuable credential, most clerks will “ride it out” instead of quitting, even if they’re miserable or have issues with their judge. The clerkship lasts only a year; the résumé value lasts for a career. For a law clerk to quit before the year is up often involves an extremely unpleasant situation in chambers.
  3. As current and former judges and clerks can tell you, it’s highly disruptive to the work of a chambers when even one clerk quits, to say nothing of two. Judges in busy districts like the Southern District of Florida have heavy caseloads, but only two to three law clerks to help them handle all that work. To be short-staffed for even a brief period of time can generate a backlog very quickly.

In a case like the Trump documents case, high level security clearance is required for all staff who view the materials, including the law clerks. The security clearance for a new employee, particularly a law clerk who is likely to be up to their ears in college debt, can take weeks or months. The problems in Cannon's office is going to impact the case. Another reason for DOJ to move the case to another venue... or perhaps start another case in New Jersey where the Bedminster club is located.

Texas AG Ken Paxton reaches deal to end securities fraud charges after 9 years

The special prosecutors would drop three felony counts against Ken Paxton if he completes the terms of the deal.
apnews.com apnews.com
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday agreed to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution under a deal to end criminal securities fraud charges that have shadowed the Republican for nearly a decade.

The announcement by special prosecutors in a Houston courtroom came less than three weeks before Paxton was set to stand trial on felony charges that could have led to a prison sentence. It was the closest Paxton — who was indicted in 2015 — has ever come to trial over accusations that he duped investors in a tech startup near Dallas.

Under the 18-month agreement, the special prosecutors would drop three felony counts against Paxton as long as he pays full restitution to his victims, and completes 100 hours of community service and 15 hours of legal ethics education. A former special prosecutor said the chance of a conviction was going to be “50-50.”
