RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

RFK will never resign. That would immediately make him culpable.
He, along with the rest of them, know this… they’ve passed the point of no return.
There is no option other than than doubling down.
They are going to force us to remove them.
It’s up to US, the people to make this happen. NOW!

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?"
There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

A reminder that this is what the path to a full ban on vaccines looks like.
No one is banning vaccines for everyone overnight. Just like with abortion, they will carve off one group at a time and hope the those still eligible respond with gratitude and self-interest instead of anger and solidarity.

It's official: Updated COVID vaccines have been approved by the FDA, but with restrictions.
Moderna: 6 months and up if high risk
Pfizer: 5 years and up if high risk
Novavax: 12 years and up if high risk
Anyone 65 years and up is eligible for updated COVID vaccines regardless of risk status.

Please call your senators. This APHA statement is urgent. “RFK Jr. must be removed from his position. Since taking office, his actions have sown confusion, demoralized staff and jeopardized the very foundation of our nation’s health security. Most critically, these missteps threaten lives”

Trump & RFK Jr are allegedly planning to ban the #Covid vaccine within months, according to news reports. During his 1st regime, Trump declared the vaccine a monumental achievement. Although nothing definite has been stated publicly, RFK killed $500 million in mRNA vax research earlier this month👇
