Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Freezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation.

And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

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

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
