Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

In 2024, CDC’s best available estimate is that about 28,000 people in the US died from influenza during the 2023–2024 flu season, which covers late 2023 through spring 2024.

My healthy 21 year old son almost had to be hospitalized with the recent flu, and he was the only one who did not get the vaccine. It was a scary experience for all of us. Thankfully the rest of us experienced mild illness #VaccinesWork
It's not too late to get your flu shot. Flu circulates year round but more intensely during flu season. For N. hemisphere:
Onset: October–November
Peak: December–February (most often January)
Decline: March
Tail end: April–May (occasionally later)
This is why we give shots until the end of February

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

But he's already found a strategy that's cheaper, less politically risk, and infinitely more devastating.
