Here is the agenda for the June 25-26 meeting of ACIP. Vaccine recommendations that RFK Jr.’s team of unqualified anti-vaxxers will discuss include COVID19, RSV, and influenza.
My guess is they will vote to severely restrict recommendations for these vaccines.

Do not ever forget the desperate, violent coup he and his domestic terrorists attempted on this day in 2021.
We all saw it. We all know what they did. No amount of lies from him and his cult will ever change that.

What Parler Saw During the Attack on the Capitol
ProPublica sifted through thousands of videos taken by Parler users to create an immersive, first-person view of the Capitol riot as experienced by those who were there.

We should call out stupidity as such instead of legitimizing stupidity by trying to reason with it.
About “natural immunity…” not only does it require infection (& disease)…it wanes! I’ve had multiple vaccines for infections I’ve already had, and I will always take a booster over another infection.

I’m the gentlest feminist educator possible and I’m losing my mind at “let’s accommodate anti-vaxxers because otherwise how will we reach them.” Some ideas are bad and we should call them bad and explain why. That is different than treating all the people who have them as bad, irredeemable people

Through my activism, I’ve realized it’s organizing, not public protesting, that forces lawmakers to act. So I’m not alarmed that people aren’t in the streets (yet). The most effective resistance isn’t en masse, but underground—and it starts in communities.

in a 2023 interview, he said that research into the causal connection between HIV and AIDS was “phony” and “crooked.” This is scientific ignorance, not the healthy skepticism that some supporters allege.
