The furthest west MBTA train stop is in Fitchburg, which is decidedly central MA.

WMA has one level I trauma center (Baystate Medical Center) whose service area covers one of the largest geographic regions in the northeast. Compared to the Boston metro area with seven level I trauma centers. It's kind of bananas.

It's a very poor example, since radical "left-leaning" anti-vaccination proponents do a very poor job of hiding their rightward political bend.

It's a huge waste of time engaging on this subject. No one in the anti-vaccine group got themselves into that opinion with reasoning; it's pure emotion driven by sociopathic politicians on the political Right. They're not in an echo chamber, they're in a thirty-foot hole of their own making... And they sure as heck aren't going to dig themselves back out again any time soon.
Best to cut the tumor out of your life rather than let it become metastatic.

Reply to comment by uberneoconcert in The mRNA vaccine technology successfully used for COVID has been adapted to fight malaria, a disease that killed over 625,000 people in 2020. In a research study on mice, two mRNA vaccines were highly effective in reducing infection in the host and in the mosquito vector. by grab-n-g0
It's actually quite difficult to become "naturally" immune to malaria following infection.

Fun fact: forcing a tenant to pay for a background check is illegal in MA.
I've docked it from the first month's rent and only ever had minimal pushback.

Reply to comment by snellickers in For most Americans, housing was a key component in personal wealth accumulation. However, racist housing policies eroded black wealth in pre-WWII American cities. Black families paid a 28% premium to buy a home on a majority white block, after which their homes lost 10% of their value. by smurfyjenkins
Uh, no.
What people object to is redefining the term "racism" to encompass institutional racism.

It's true that there aren't many options in a lot of places, but PVTA and BRTA are both damn good for how small their budgets are. Massachusetts' regional transit authorities are really impressive.
