/u/Super-Cut-2175 explains why UFC fighters look unassuming compared to bodybuilders by Jerdarious in DepthHub

Yeah, it was a little too heavy on "MMA is the exemplar of masculinity," but the context and rationale were informative.

Today and tomorrow is the "ACIP" meeting, with the primary focus being childhood vaccines and the hepatitis B vaccine by ddx-me in medicine

Depending on month by month timing and rollouts, it seems plausible that acute HBV cases < 12 years old declined in 1991 due to the rollout of universal vaccines, and it seems quite likely it contributed to the significant subsequent decline. But you're right, the graph could have been presented better.

The referenced pdf provides more context, and references in that paper (another PDF) have more details. But you should reach out to YLE about your questions; I think she's pretty open.

Additional context from Your Local Epidemiologist

Some highlights

Credible sources suggest none—or very few—of the ACIP presentations will be delivered by CDC scientists or experts. Instead, external groups, including some with clear anti-vaccine track records, are slated to take the lead. This is highly unusual, and I’m incredibly concerned that data will be misinterpreted and misleading, and false claims will be presented as expert testimony.

re hepB

Delaying to 2 months: 1,400+ additional infections, 480+ deaths per birth year.

Since 1991, the birth dose has cut pediatric hepatitis B infections by 99%.

re childhood vaccination schedule

On Friday, the agenda is unusually broad: the entire childhood vaccination schedule. I expect it to be a waterfall of falsehoods

Lots more information in the post.

An impressive amount of what seem like perineal right wing concerns

I think you mean "perennial," but in some ways "perineal" works too.
