Sorry followers, I am just at a total loss for words at the complete devastation of the CDC and the foundation of all that used to be a world-respected health care agency. I have no words, just support and concern for professional colleagues and friends, as well as all those depending on their work.

It took HHS Sec, RFK Jr, over 12 hours to make statement, ONLY on X, about attack on CDC.
❓Where was RFK Jr while CDC staff were sheltering in place due to a gunman? Fishing!🎣
❓Did he change his plans once he heard the news? No! ❌ He posted more pictures of fishing before posting the statement.

Turns out gutting CDC, your science agency, isn't a great look. We ran the numbers, brought receipts and spoiler: it’s worse than you think. Thousands of "working scientists" were cut.

🧵 We must learn from history—or risk repeating it.
During 1989–91, the U.S. experienced over 55,000 measles cases and around 120 child deaths—mostly among unvaccinated, uninsured preschoolers.
This led to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides free vaccines to eligible kids.

Do not waste time thinking about what you could have done differently.
Keep your eyes on the road ahead and do it differently now.

MAGA tech bros are complaining Americans aren't educated enough—meanwhile oppose canceling exploitative student debt, do nothing about high university tuition, want to help abolish the Department of Education, and support the hundreds of book bans across GOP run states.
Yeah, good plan.
Yeah, good plan.

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.
While Trump pardons war criminals, Biden should commute the death penalty, cancel all student debt, & protect abortion nationwide
Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!
