First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

My boss is going through her own personal things right now. She found out I was sick and went out of her way to get a germ shield between me and my clients. It is nice to be cared about and valued.

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.

Don't let them get away with it.

Each week this year will be attempting to post what I am grateful for, in an active effort to improve my perspective on life. This week we will start with the most obvious: my friends and family, far and near, you are the best part of my life.

This is a total capitulation of the highest order. A complete and total failure of the free press.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.

ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress. No people of color were selected, either.

Especially if you want to hang out with anyone who is immunocompromised​
Hey if you're American and were thinking about getting shots like the HPV vaccine or your Hep A+B boosters you should really do that before the guy who thinks the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer becomes the head of the FDA in January. Get any and all outstanding vaccines ASAP while you still can.

Call your member of Congress to ask them to vote NO on HR. 9495 if you don't want Trump's new Treasury Secretary to have this new and extremely dangerous power.
