I really like to see, for example, the members of the former ACIP, the vaccine board that was kind of fired, speaking up a little bit, even as a shadow ACIP almost, but just speaking out about what is about to happen or what they've heard.

Yeah.

I mean, you could even do it on a sub stack, right?

Um, I guess sub stack newsletter, um, blue sky X, but not so much.

I think, uh, I have, uh, Renee to rest.com has my various socials and the book and all that good stuff.

She's amassed millions of views of the day-to-day life she has treating dogs, cats, and even the occasional cow.
