In my first article on the measles outbreaks in the Pacific Northwest, I argued that measles vaccination rates have declined little since 1995. Here I’d like to expand on that idea, and comment on specific claims made by various sources. Is the Washington Post Right? "Clark County Public Health Director Alan… https://t.co/xVudNNxURM — Dr. Richard Pan […]

This article is a full reply to a discussion with D. L. Shultz’s about his article on soft vs hard science (not fully safe for work).
ContinueA Parasocial Relationship with God
Two people, on Twitter, posed an interesting question about the ability to have a parasocial relationship with god. I think it’s quite possible.
