Throughout July and August, vaccine advocates have tried to blame these trends on fact that the United States has not hit the vaccine benchmarks they hoped.…

    CDC gets “The Science” from New York Times infographics

    Do you wonder why we should continue to trust “The Science”? “The initial COVID-19 strain had an R0 between two and three,” computational biologist Karthik Gangavarapu told NPR.
