Uh, to be clear, the current administration is stopping the practice.

How about foreign nationals living in ANY adversarial country (including China) not be allowed to work on anything related to national defense? If they can't even bother to move to the U.S. let's keep them away from our defense systems? OK?

The Waymo parked for 20 minutes, left the spot, and then an hour later another Waymo parked in the same spot... so what?

A car parked for 20 minutes in a one hour parking space... then it left, leaving the spot open for a period of time approaching an hour and another Waymo parked there... again, so what?

Why does a Waymo have lesser parking rights than any other car? The Waymo obeyed the 1 hour limit, and anyone could use the spot before the next Waymo arrived (Waymo's didn't coordinate to monopolize the parking spot).

Honestly, the Waymo is more likely to respect the time limit on the free parking than a human driver.

And who did RFK, Jr replace? Xavier Becerra, a lawyer and politician whose only qualification seemed to be that he was the first Latino to hold the position.

At least RFK jr read some medical journals before heading HHS

The CDC says Texas had over 800 cases, as for the travelers bringing the virus home from overseas, I don't have an answer

Canada had 3x the measles case count in a country with 1/9th the population compared with the U.S.

That's a comparison that merits attention, not dismissal - it means a person in Canada is 27x more likely to get measles than someone in the U.S., and this is despite Canada's single-payer, better than the U.S., healthcare system...

I'd be curious to know the trend in Canada over, say, the past 5-10 years and compare it to the trend in the U.S. over the same time period, if both spiked at about the same time, then it's doubtful that anything occurring politically in the U.S. this past year was to blame.

Well, it's a US news outlet, and US news reporting does tend to be rather parochial; I think it is more myopia than new suppression. The news here is the huge leap up in cases in the USA but I'm sure the RFK will be upset that you're not #1 yet.

So, roughly, Canada had what, 4x as many cases of measles as the U.S.? OK, those are absolute numbers, let's factor in population - Canada has 38M residents, US has 338M, or about 1/9the population of the U.S. That means Canada had about 40x the number of measles cases the U.S. had - that's kinda significant, and it's also interesting that of Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., the U.S. had profoundly fewer measles cases than either neighboring country (esp considering Canada had what some would say is a superior healthcare system than either the U.S. or Mexico...)

Perhaps there is a relation between high measles cases in the U.S., Mexico and Canada unrelated to the mere "discussion" of changing the vaccine schedule? BTW, the MMR (measles) vaccine is and always has been part of the CDC vaccine schedule for the last year this administration has been in office and RFK, jr has been DISCUSSING changing the 30 vaccine injections on the CDC vaccine schedule to fight 16 diseases... I don't think his discussions has caused the increase in measles infections in North America

And did you take a bunch of Tylenol, just to prove your pro-science, and anti-Trump! LOL

Except the MMR (measles) vaccine is currently required, maybe dig a little deeper into the science, rely a little less on political talking heads?

You mean like this?

Reminder: No one has removed the requirement for the measles vaccine - no one, it's required in all 50 states...

The current CDC guidance called for MMR vaccine (measles++) in the first 12 month of life.

What changed? Where in the U.S. are measles vaccines not required in 2025?

Has RFK, jr actually changed the measles vaccine requirement? No, he didn't.

https://www.immunize.org/offic...

Oddly, no one - NO ONE - has changed the measles vaccine requirement in 2025, perhaps the issue lies elsewhere? Just a thought - maybe your reaction is emotion, not fact-based?

Has RFK, jr actually changed the measles vaccine requirement? No, he didn't.

It's interesting that nearly half of all measles cases are in the stat of Texas - why look, Texas, like EVERY OTHER JURISDICTIOn in the U.S. Texas requires measles vaccines.

This doesn't seem to be an issue where the current administration changed anything related to measles vaccines, perhaps this has to do with the millions of recent visitors that crossed into the U.S. from places where everyone wasn't vaccinated?

So now Slashdot is pro H-1B visa?

It's nice how we've morphed students arriving on student visas with "highly-skilled professionals" entering under the H-1B visa program into one group - kinda like when being against illegal immigrants entering the country (again, illegally) was turned into an across the board indictment of ALL immigration.

The worker visa program doesn't prevent aspiring college students from entering the country - but honestly, you knew that, you just want to virtue-signal against orange man...

For the past few decades parents have believed the only way their children will succeed in life is to go to college, to become, in effect, knowledge workers. Well, along comes AI and starts wiping out knowledge worker jobs, so now what do we do? We're going to retrain AI-displaced college graduates to become manual labor?

AKA a final solution? Seriously?

Here's an idea, we'll train them to make human food pellets, to feed the other unemployable people, and we'll introduce euthanasia to weed out the old and the sick, then we could turn them in to food pellets for the people. If the people don't like this arrangement, we can get Steam shovel and scoop up the ungrateful protesters and use them as raw material for the food pellets...

There, how about that solution?
