Removed COVID vaccine recommendations

Trump just announced he is going to “pave over” Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden to look like the patio at Mar-a-Lago.

My grandmother lived through the Dust Bowl here in Oklahoma and told me stories of what it was like. I have a good imagination so Oklahoma can just stop with the live demonstrations.

I was thinking about finding a different flag to fly on our flagpole but this might be our best option. Symbolic without an additional purchase.
Join us in solidarity—fly your American flag upside down, the traditional signal of distress and extreme emergency.

In 2021-2022, at least 234,000 people died in the US because they did not get a COVID vaccine. Politicization of vaccines & misinformation was a major contributor.
If an antivaxxer becomes HHS head & something like bird flu becomes a pandemic, even more people will die. RFK must not be confirmed.

The breadth and scope of this is horrifying. The very idea that one political party will control the information we receive on public health and medicine should scare us all.

The sheer breadth of this administration’s attempts to undo everything of value in the United States has me sick to my very core.
Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.
The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

Trump rolls back bedrock 1960s-era civil rights measure
The move abolishes decades of government practices on diversity and equal opportunity.

I hope this works but I doubt it.
BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

This is one of my biggest concerns with the new administration.
According to an inside source, Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
This will be horrible for public health. Kennedy will try to restrict vaccine access, spread misinformation, and weaken food and drug safety standards.
