As far as I can tell, the American Academy of Pediatrics is the only major medical association to take a real stand against the regime. I’m so proud of my colleagues. Shame on the quiet ones. Please protect your children. Immunizations are safe and effective.

While lots of us don’t have money to make big investments, if you have retirement plans, pensions, or other long term investments, make sure you aren’t feeding the regime.

The Daily Beans is a great podcast. Today a 25+ year (now former) GOP activist has some really important points for Dems about how we should be messaging people. The interview is at 40:08 if you don’t want to listen to the entire podcast, but it’s all well worth a listen!

Eliminating the NIH and medical research will crush any hope of curing childhood cancer, diabetes, asthma, or anything else. The combination of these cuts and an anti-vaccine policy will kill millions and millions of people. Especially children. This read gives you a way to fight back.
