"If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it." MLK, Jr, 1956. The Rev. Dr. King died fighting for justice and equality for the working poor. As you remember his birth don’t misremember his life.

imagine not being able to finish residency so you instead become an MD who denies healthcare for 2-day-old babies

It's a good day to be a New Jerseyan.

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law Monday to prohibit public and school libraries from banning books in the state and to enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law.

The only actual experience Dr. Oz has in federal gov was being called before the Senate in 2014 and admitting he used false claims (aka lied) to personally enrich himself.

"The scientific community is almost monolithically against you in terms of the efficacy of the products you called 'miracles.’”
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz ran and lost to Sen. John Fetterman in Pennsylvania in 2022.

I truly do not understand the vaccine-hesitant position of “it’s not that all vaccines are bad, it’s just that there are too many of them now and they’re given when kids are too young.”

So you believe that some/many vaccines are good? But you want kids to be unprotected for longer? Why?

RFK Jr has compared vaccination to the Holocaust many times and for many years because in addition to being an antivaxx science denier he is also an antisemite
