RFK Jr.’s CDC panel ditches some flu shots based on anti-vaccine junk data

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-26 05:47:29

The vaccine panel hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to drop federal recommendations for seasonal flu shots that contain the ethyl-mercury containing preservative thimerosal. The panel did so after hearing a misleading and cherry-picked presentation from an anti-vaccine activist. There is extensive data from the last quarter century proving that the antiseptic preservative is safe, with no harms identified beyond sl

The time is right for a DOM templating API

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-26 09:23:28

TL;DR: I want to propose adding a declarative templating API to the web platform. Here's why... The web platform is the most successful application runtime of all time. While the largest reason for this is the web's reach, it wouldn't be possible without the DOM API, which turns a mostly static document viewer into a highly dynamic and expressive runtime. For as much hate as the DOM sometimes receives (some of that deserved, but some really not!) the DOM is undeniably a very powerful API. This

Shifts in diatom and dinoflagellate biomass in the North Atlantic over 6 decades

Abstract The North Atlantic Ocean has large seasonal blooms rich in diatoms and dinoflagellates which can contribute disproportionately relative to other primary producers to export production and transfer of resources up the food web. Here we analyze data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder to reconstruct variation in the surface ocean diatom and dinoflagellate community biomass over 6 decades across the North Atlantic.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you go shopping for outdoor lights. Power: For most outdoor lighting, you need to run a cable to a power outlet, so you will want an outdoor socket. If you don’t have an outdoor socket, it’s usually a pretty cheap and quick job for an electrician to install a weatherproof one. Just be aware that large power adapters and awkwardly shaped plugs will not fit in outdoor sockets, so you will likely also want some kind of weatherproof box. I like the large D

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient
