Trump administration takes decisive action to solve the #Overpopulation Problem: "US drops the number of vaccines it recommends for every child" [Associated Press] https://apnews.com/article/childhood-vaccine-schedule-trump-rfk-hhs-9b8df9e2767c1261aaac4e2331e77fa3

US drops some vaccine recommendations for children

The U.S. has taken the unprecedented step of dropping the number of vaccines it recommends for every child — a move that leading medical groups say would undermine protections against a half-dozen diseases. The overhaul to the federal vaccine schedule, announced Monday, is effective immediately and stops broadly recommending protection against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis and RSV. Protections against those diseases are now only recommended for certain groups deemed high-risk, or if their doctors recommend them. Officials say the overhaul won’t result in any families losing access or insurance coverage for vaccines, but medical experts say it creates confusion for parents and could increase preventable diseases.

"Humans are a virus to planet earth" ?!

Spoiler: possibly you were promoting an ecofascist narrative. Don't worry, we all make mistakes from time to time. Welcome back.

[P] I also love how obviously neurodivergent specialist researchers are. It's great. Ah, if only all of humanity was so prescient. But yanno, neurotypicals, group narcissism, subservience to authoritarian Dark Triad structures, et al. One day, humanity will admit to itself what the problem is. It'll be too late by then but hey, one day...

The same people who are worried about falling birth rates are the same ones worried about 'Overpopulation'

It's just Racism.

The 'wrong sort of people' thing that permeates Whiteness

"The detritus we feed on is none other than the fossil energy treasures—first coal, then oil, then natural gas—that our species learned to exploit and that has, in an interval of scarcely two hundred years, allowed us to multiply the world population by a factor of seven, a population which had always remained below one billion3 until the 19th century."

10 years after it was translated, I'm happy to announce the online publishing of my long article (or short essay) "We, detritivores" in English. I couldn't find a publisher for a printed version, so I decided to publish it for free in our 15/15\15 magazine: @revista https://www.15-15-15.org/webzine/download/we-detritivores/ #detritivoros #detritivores #overpopulation #PeakFossilFuels #hunger #collapse

Overpopulation is not merely a policy failure; it is a failure of consciousness. A species that cannot see where its hunger comes from will consume its own home.

Also, the problem is not #overpopulation, the problem is spots of high #populationdensity. Big difference. A vast interconnected network of small self-sufficient villages/cities in exchange of support based on mutual help is long therm sustainable. Of course it doesn't suit if the goal is to make profit off of other people's work.

"Non-human animals waste water/land/resources" is still human supremacist and speciesist framing that classes non humans as resources not individuals. When there's "too many" humans we don't say they waste resources; their life and individual experience is intrinsically valuable and I shouldn't need to explain why mass human killing or forced sterilization isnt a "solution" to overpopulation

Generally vegans would say that eating plant based would cause flesh farmers to breed less non human animals into existence and so its not the same as being responsible for the death of "overpopulated" species and that would be fine by itself but the mindset of treating too many non-human animals as a problem whos solution is always "reduce their population" and human overpopulation as potentially having other solutions is speciesist and risks promoting human supremacist eugenicism
