Trump signs bonkers order that cuts vaccines, promotes ones that don't exist
President Trump signed an executive order Monday that makes sweeping, unilateral changes to federal vaccine recommendations. The order aims to reduce the number of lifesaving vaccines all children are recommended to get—from 18 to 11—while also splitting them up and spacing them out over more time and more medical visits. The vaccine changes are not backed by evidence or spurred by new findings. Rather, they are based on false anti-vaccine fearmongering about harms, including…

Mark Zuckerberg’s AI manifesto is exactly why people don’t like AI
