“In the seven months since he was sworn in, Mr. Kennedy has delivered a lukewarm endorsement of the measles vaccine; dismantled a panel of experts who make vaccine recommendations to the government; taken steps that will effectively restrict access to Covid-19 vaccines; and canceled $500 million of grants and contracts for the development of mRNA vaccines.”

Before you thought about work-life balance, professionalism, or online security, there was just one email. You were a simple, blissful idiot.
2. Personal
You learned that only a baby fawn mixes all aspects of existence into a single stew of email chaos. So you created an account just for family and friends—memes, photos, and half-hearted attempts to meet for coffee. You marveled at your newfound organizational prowess. Then it dawned on you that you had no idea which email to use for logins, work emails, and subscriptions to your friends’ newsletters.
3. Sensitive

Then you had to decide whether or not you’d also give it to the neighborhood dentist, who stowed your intake packet in a translucent plastic bin that sat in the corner of their office/exam room—where anyone could stroll in and find your Social Security number emblazoned on page one. Your choice haunts you.
