This is the true cost of pandering to antivax baseless fear mongering about thimerosal. The US vaccine supply can be reconfigured. But global vaccination campaigns are harmed without that preservative.

Opposite. I went to a tiny public school, we had onky one teacher for each subject for the jr high and high school. 7-9th grade our math teacher was the boys basketball coach who was hired for the substantially more important job (basketball coach).

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight.
