Even after the CDC changed the way it counted measles deaths, it should now have updated numbers - but still nothing. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Why the CDC is excluding measles deaths in Pennsylvania even as outbreak appears to be ‘accelerating’
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refuses to count four measles deaths in the state though doctors are ‘seeing new forms’ of disease

Administrative Burden and Procedural Denials in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The effectiveness of the SNAP program is hampered by complex administrative processes that create significant barriers for potential participants.

Two important points: “One is that there is a remaining “controversy” about the history. There really isn’t. Some people don’t like the history, that’s true. And the second is the “maybe now we really know” framing of DNA as if the genetics are more certain than the historical analysis.”
