TY @globeopinion.bsky.social for highlighting #MA's efforts to protect #VaccinePolicy! As the federal govt. undermines science-based vax policies, MA aims to give state health officials more authority over vax guidance to help maintain public trust & access. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/16/o...
Mass. shouldn’t rely on RFK Jr.’s appointees for vaccine advice - The Boston Globe
The state has long deferred to a federal vaccine panel. But that’s no longer wise.

Vaccination rates are dropping.

Mr. Kennedy can’t stop lying about vaccines.

He needs to go.

Call your elected representatives and tell them that RFK Jr. is committing #PublicHealthMalpractice.

RFK Jr. said that “we will have definite answers (on the causes of autism) within a year…and very good answers within 6 months”.

Real science doesn’t work like that. It takes thought and care and time.

Unless you’re about to do some policy-based evidence making.
