I am barely alive this week thanks to whatever flu plague is going around, but this was too important not to cover immediately. In the last 24 hours, the Trump Administration announced a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, cutting recommendations from 72 shots down to 11, aligning us with other developed countries. Predictably the worst voices on the internet are absolutely losing their minds that parents and medical practitioners might finally be more empowered.

Today, I break down what actually changed, what didn’t change–no matter what you read from sensationalist influencers pushing a TDS agenda–why parents still have choices to go beyond the recommendations if they want, and why the media narrative about “kids dying” doesn’t match reality.

Plus, we get into the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal blowing up social media (and impressive young independent journalist Nick Shirley casually ending Tim Walz’s entire political career) .

Finally, we end with some very necessary new rules for plane travel in 2026.
