The lower house of the U.S. Congress passed Wednesday a controversial bill to expand the legal definition of antisemitism as pro-Palestinian protests sweep college campuses across the country.
The cross-party Anti-Semitism Awareness Act requires the Department of Education to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism when tackling discrimination.
The IHRA states that "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination" by, for example, "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor" is a form of antisemitism.
Critics of the U.S. House bill – including the American Civil Liberties Union – describe it as government overreach that will chill free speech while supporters say it will help combat hate on college campuses...

"I'm thankful for the bipartisan support of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and for the support from a wide range of Jewish organizations that are standing up, endorsing this legislation, and saying enough is enough," New York Republican Mike Lawler said in a statement.
But the ACLU said in a letter to lawmakers that the new bill would "likely chill free speech of students on college campuses by incorrectly equating criticism of the Israeli government with anti-Semitism."
New York Democrat Jerry Nadler echoed the concerns, telling colleagues on the House floor: "Speech that is critical of Israel alone does not constitute unlawful discrimination. The bill sweeps too broadly."

Very succinct timeline given this article worth saving.

The very first time the CDC pulled all their immunization recommendations into one place was in their weekly publication “Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report” (MMWR) in 1969.5 Those recommendations laid the foundation for what we now recognize as the “schedule.”
The face of public health, and thus immunization, changed in 1979 when the federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (the predecessor to Health and Human Services) released a report titled “Healthy People: The Surgeon General’s Report on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.
This outcry culminated in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, known by many as the “1986 Act,” which removed liability from manufacturers. (You can do a deep dive on DPT in our article, “Shining a light on Pertussis & DPT: the vaccine that shut the courthouse doors.”) .
While the 1986 Act was being debated, 1985 saw two measles outbreaks on college campuses. (Qwik check shows many thousands of US colleges, and measles is nothing more than a short-term nuisance to anyone not already very seriously immune-compromised).
After the 1986 Act, many vaccines were added to the childhood schedule. When the pneumococcal vaccine was added in 2001, it was licensed both for adolescents and adults. The promotion of adult vaccines picked up again for that moment in time. In 2002, the CDC unveiled its first official adult schedule
In 1991, the CDC acknowledged in its weekly public health report that vaccination in adults wasn’t typical.4
etc.
Real hard figuring out which side the shoddy wahabbians are still on, despite the sickening but transparent bullshit blizzard of disinfo these many months about how they've turned from the dark side.
