The kooky MAGA/MAHA crew are just playing politics to serve their masters: Trump & RFK Jr
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social
The FDA under charlatans Prasad, Makary, and Hoeg wants to put a black box warning on COVID19 vaccines in order to please their anti-vax audience. There is no reason to assume that RFK Jr. will not force COVID19 vaccines off the market in the US. And then he will just keep going down the list.

When Scott Hussey heard about the Trump administration’s eagerness to pay for workout equipment in airports, he could not find an upside.
“It just struck me as being kind of absurd for multiple reasons,” he said.

Working out at the airport? Some fliers can already smell the sweat.
Sean Duffy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would love to see pull-up bars in airport terminals. Some fliers can already smell the BO.

Of 111 people infected, 105 were unvaccinated.
Public health experts and pediatricians overwhelmingly agree: the measles vaccine is safe, effective, and essential to preventing outbreaks—despite what Trump and Secretary Kennedy claim.
Get vaccinated.

Already this year, anti-vaccine activists have downplayed the risks of measles and polio.
Now, they’re adding whooping cough to the list, even as cases of the disease surge, killing at least ten babies over the past two years.

Trump’s memo to review other countries’ childhood vaccine schedules has no legal power but it signals a public endorsement of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s actions so far on vaccine policy.
19thnews.org
Some countries recommend fewer childhood vaccines. That plan is riskier in America.
Comparing the United States’ childhood vaccine schedule to other countries doesn't consider the lack of universal health care, vaccine experts say.

The U.S. had eliminated measles in 2000 thanks to vaccines.
Now because of Secretary Kennedy’s lies, it's back with a vengeance keeping kids out of school and threatening to make the holidays miserable and dangerous.
The price of lies is lives.
