I had the opportunity to review the work experience and skills of numerous people who were laid off or fired from public health jobs by Donald Trump.
I want every taxpayer to know that the US has lost an immeasurable number of the smartest, most experienced, and hardworking people on the planet.

The worst part of the anti-vaxx or vaccine skeptic media personalities is that most of them are vaccinated and care so little about the well being of their own audiences that it doesn't matter if their kids die

Setting aside the absurdly xenophobic framing, once again, there is ZERO truth to any of this. Everyone qualifies for Emergency Medicaid equally. Hospitals do not receive more for treating undocumented immigrants in an emergency than Americans. Speaker Johnson is flatly wrong.
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

To be clear:
1) There is no individual level correlation between MMR and autism.
2) There was no population level increase after MMR was introduced.
3) The study that kicked off the conspiracy theory was n=12, another was straight up fraud.
4) Autism is often diagnosable before vaccines are given.

reminder that rfk jr. has already made empty promises to the senate. and he already broke them. we are so far beyond asking him for commitments. the man is a dangerous buffoon with millions in direct conflicts of interest. it's time for him to go.
Watching Bill Cassidy reveal the commitments that RFK Jr gave him — for instance, a pledge to provide Senate a 30-day heads-up on any planned changes to vaccine safety monitoring programs.
Strikes me that these commitments wouldn’t be needed if the health secretary wasn’t RFK Jr
