In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.
I do agree with one of the sources: every country that seriously considers to be part of the space economy, should establish its own space agency to drive strategic objectives for the space sector in the country.

My sources and various news outlets are reporting White House spokesmouth confirmation that @rookisaacman is not going to head @NASA. The nomination of Jared Isaacman was inspired. His un-nomination is beyond stupid. He is - or would have been - a bright light at #NASA at a time when that is really needed - a true believer in the agency, its people, and its potential. #AdAstra Jared.
Deadline for nominations is the 22nd of November!
