***Again, there's some minor discussion about flu shot numbers being down: During the 2025–2026 flu season, overall shot coverage across the U.S. dropped to less than 44% from 52% in 2021---Not going to re-hash the reasons why posted--or the past reliability of the experts etc.----Flu shots are readily available, and flu event numbers are up.  Someone called for mandatory masking again, which has largely been met with "hell no" (being polite, it's family blog, lol)

And lots of anticipatory chatter about our potential new "health blog/substack" authored by a retired nurse possibly coming in January.  If it happens, you'll see it here first!

WHCA WANNABE ASSASSIN COLE THOMAS JUST GOT INTO MORE TROUBLE, TOWNHALL

On April 25, 2026, Cole Tomas Allen tried to assassinate President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and any Trump officials who were present at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. He nearly made it: security camera footage shows Allen sprinting full-bore, evading numerous Secret Service agents. What saved this from becoming a massacre? Allen. He tripped over his feet right by the main ballroom door. He was already facing a slew of federal charges, but now we have terrorism charges in a superseding indictment filed Friday (via NY Post)
