Vaccine trust is shifting. Now Republicans are increasingly trusting the government on vaccines, while democrats are trending in the opposite direction.

Alarmingly, barely half of Americans are confident in the safety of the covid vax, which maybe doesn't matter since a new one might not be available in time for next fall's surge, thanks to RFK Jr's anti scientific new rules requiring placebo controlled testing of already tested and safe vaccines that have been optimized for current strains.

And, of course, this increasing distrust of the covid vaccine can be directly linked to RFKJr's misinformation and policies, like his false claims that the covid vaccine was not sufficiently tested, and that it requires additional, unethical placebo- controlled testing.

~8M humans in Washington state, 230 grey wolves.

We continue to debate "are there too many wolves?"

#ScienceDenial kicks in, of course.

"You have to remember this is the minimum and there are really good odds there are more wolves out there than they are counting. At the end of the day, we are way beyond what their quote-unquote management level was and they should be down-listed."

There are much better odds that this rancher is ignorant of how to count #wolves.

The denial of science by politicians is intentional, not the product of some broken process.

The denial of science is the result of corruption in our political systems by interests who wish to protect the status quo in spite of the evidence that shows us we need to make major changes in order to stave off catastrophe.

For the Venn diagram fans out there:

On the August 16 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan and right-wing tech billionaire Peter Thiel attacked proven climate change solutions and the science that underpins them as ineffective and ideologically driven.

Thiel called climate science a “fake field” and falsely claimed that “we don't have great accounts of why” climate change is happening.

Rogan replied, “Well, there's certainly ideology that's connected to climate science. And then there's certainly corporations that are invested in this, this prospect of green energy and the concept of green energy, and they're profiting off of it and pushing these different things, whether it be electric car mandates or whatever it is.”

You can be sure that he's referring to "regenerative grazing".

Today in Labor History August 2, 1937: The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed, making marijuana illegal. It was drafted by Harry Anslinger, head of the new Narcotics Division of the Treasury Department and former Prohibition Cop. He also can be considered the Father of the War on Drugs. Anslinger was a racist who targeted African-American musicians, particularly Billie Holiday, whom he set up for several busts. He pushed for cannabis prohibition, in spite of advice from doctors and scientists, including the conservative American Medical Association, who said that it was nonaddictive and did not lead to crime or violence. He exploited propaganda by yellow journalists, like William Randolph Hearst, to make cannabis seem dangerous, particularly by equating it with violence by blacks.
