  1. Dear Prof, you have been talking to the gun nuts. I live in a “Stand your ground” state. Florida is almost completely urbanized yet they still have bear hunts. There are python hunts too, yet is illegal to use guns on that invasive species. FL just passed a right to hunt/fish law. I give up.

  2. 🚨 The CDC as we know it is being severely altered tonight.

    In addition to the CDC director being ousted, the Post is reporting that several senior leaders are leaving as well.

    Here are from two of the resignations:

    
"I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponizing of public health," Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, wrote, adding that CDC staff "continue to shine despite this dark cloud over the agency and our profession."
CDC's chief medical officer Debra Houry told staff "ongoing changes" prevent her from continuing in her job.
"Vaccines save lives - this is an indisputable, well-established, scientific fact," Houry wrote.
"Recently, the overstating of risks and the rise of misinformation have cost lives, as demonstrated by the highest number of U.S. measles cases in 30 years and the violent attack on our agency."
