PM Roundup: Tuesday, February 7

New rules for food trucks are now the law in the city of Buffalo. Mayor Byron Brown signed legislation Monday that dictates where the rolling restaurants can operate. Food trucks must stay 100 feet away from existing restaurants and licensed hot-dog vendors. The new law goes into effect after months of squabbling between food-truck owners and brick-and-mortar establishments. A veterinarian hired by the Niagara SPCA to oversee animal care in the wake of the agency’s euthanasia scandal will not take his post after all. Former colleagues of Dr. Grant Hobika as well as animal owners had filed complaints against him regarding mistreatment of animals. The doctor has denied the charges. Still more investigation of the mysterious syndrome affecting LeRoy students. The school district has hired a firm to conduct environmental testing at the site of the junior-senior high. Meanwhile, five of 18 afflicted students underwent MRI testing at Dent Neurological Institute, where doctors believe that the patients’ Tourette’s-like symptoms have a psychological basis. A pair of historic Protestant churches in Buffalo may be consolidating. First Presbyterian on Symphony Circle might shutter its church on Symphony Circle, in favor of sharing facilities and staff at Trinity Episcopal on Delaware Avenue. A letter was recently shared with the Trinity congregation explaining the proposal. Both churches have seen declines in membership. Just as Sabre players finally seem to be recovering from a season-long injury bug, now their coach is hurt. Defenseman Jordan Leopold collided with Lindy Ruff at practice Monday. Ruff was flipped to the ice, suffering three broken ribs. The head coach was taken to the hospital for x-rays. His status remains uncertain for the Sabres’ next game Wednesday night.

‘Breaking his pledge’: Wall Street Journal slams RFK Jr.’s ‘ideological crusade’ at CDC



The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board slammed President Donald Trump's Health Secretary over his "ideological crusade" to turn the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into an anti-vaccine agency.

Last week, the CDC revised its Vaccine Safety page to include a new advisory for claims that "vaccines do not cause autism." The website now says the claim "is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”

The new guidance cites a discredited study authored by a scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who wrote a newsletter for Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. led, WSJ's editors wrote in a new editorial.

Kennedy has repeatedly asserted that there are ties between vaccines and childhood rates of autism, although experts have questioned the evidence he's provided to support such claims.

The editors noted that the revised guidelines seem like a lawyerly attempt by Kennedy to keep his promise to GOP Senators like Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) not to change the CDC's vaccine advisory.

"He is also breaking his pledge to Mr. Cassidy not to push vaccines for children off the market," the editorial notes. "Early next month, Mr. Kennedy’s handpicked Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will discuss aluminum adjuvants and could require manufacturers to remove them from vaccines. That could force a dozen vaccines out of use."

"The aluminum ingredient in vaccines isn’t the same as what’s in kitchen foil," the editorial adds. "Aluminum is naturally present in plants, soil, water, and many foods, including vegetables, tea, and chocolate. During the first six months of life, infants ingest significantly more aluminum from breast milk or formula than they get from vaccines. But RFK Jr. is on an ideological crusade. Reformulating these vaccines with different adjuvants would cost billions of dollars and could take years."
