On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.
Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.
We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

We hear about sending “checks” to Americans but what real substance aren’t we hearing enough about for true health reform?
1. Clear plan for lowering prices for drugs and hospital care (ours are the worlds highest by far)
2. Removing deductibles for preventive care
3. Public option

I listened to you and got my shot months ago. No flu in our household.
I'm a firm believer in science. That makes my life so much easier. One less thing I have to research. Wish more people could figure this out.
Anyway, thanks for keeping me and all of your followers safe.
Be well and be kind.

With Flu everywhere, we summarized indications of Tamiflu, the importance of early testing and early treatment.
Of course, we also emphasize that this year’s vaccine remains strongly protective against severe pneumonia.

Now that Homeland Security has access to healthcare data, many immigrants (those lawfully allowed to be present) are avoiding getting care out of fear.

Kennedy and his team aren’t about “medical freedom”
Their announcements today were offensive to the concept of individual autonomy and direct, prejudiced, ideological attacks on the transgender community and childhood health.
Let’s speak in unison. It’s wrong, and it won’t stand.

“Giving money to the people” is code for cutting a check to a health savings account.
That’s not health insurance. It’s smoke in mirrors. $2K in your pocket won’t cover a fraction of a major medical need (procedure, hospitalization, ER visit).
Don’t buy the nonsense.

I’ve seen flu have devastating impacts on the seemingly young and healthy.
It is unpredictable, constantly changing, and can be very dangerous.
It is not just a bad cold and can render any of us bedridden for days or worse.
Be vigilant, stay protected, ignore the noise.
