¶CDC messaging, throughout the pandemic and across two administrations, has been horrible. The blame for messaging on post-vaccine risk and behavior is squarely on Biden’s shoulders, though. And, frankly, a simpler, more scientifically accurate message about the risk to vaccinated individuals and their reduced capacity for transmission would probably encourage more to get the damn shot.

¶These little food delivery robots are all over Bowling Green. They’re adorable! We watched these two as they rolled down the sidewalk and stopped at the crosswalk light. This guy walked through them without flinching a bit. He paid them zero attention, which tells me they must be fairly prevalent and accepted. They seem like a great idea to me.
