The president declaring war on the people he is supposed to represent. Aside from the fact it's unconstitutional...
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

I have personally witnessed some of these examples when they happened. They're not made up. This is conversion therapy, but for Jews who think Israel has a right to self-determination, along with harassment and discrimination against both Jewish therapists and Jewish patients, funded by HHS..
US Taxpayers fund ‘therapy’ that treats Jewish identity as mental illness
The approach identifies Zionism as a root cause of mental illness, despite Zionism’s absence from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Of course one criminal thinks another should be pardoned.
And right there is one of the reasons we bombed Iran. Pretext to get Netanyahu off the hook for his crimes.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr.

Scientific American has published a guide to the EVIDENCE-BASED vaccine recommendations in place BEFORE ACIP members were removed by the administration.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

They somehow believe diseases in other countries never pose a threat to us, ignoring the fact that all original measles cases in current outbreaks come from international travel.
Doctors who elevated this guy need to be treated like doctors who worked for tobacco companies or pushed OxyContin on everyone.

Am I wrong?

Nothing like zip tie people in wheelchairs peacefully protesting because they can't afford healthcare and it's even more zip ties, I guess, because they are literally a flight risk and certainly don't want them to fight back.
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

“Maintaining #measles elimination requires constant vigilance…. Every piece of that delicate, indispensable system is under threat, both from a well-funded, emboldened antivaccine movement and now from the highest levels of our federal public health agencies.”

We have had the ability to prevent nearly all cases of measles for more than 60 years. Yet the number of cases keeps growing.

Lyn Redwood is a masters prepared NP who worked with her county's board of health and awarded "person of the year" for her service to the community. She went down the rabbit hole of thimerosal 30 years ago when her son developed autism. She's an embarrassment to #nursing and #PublicHealth.
Slides posted for thimerosal presentation at ACIP included citation of study that appears not to exist

“I don’t have a publication in Neurotoxicology by that title,” the apparent lead author told us

Slide has since been removed

How disinformation spreads directly from our government. This impacts every single one of us.
It's #PublicHealth
Who wrote Bobby's report:
CHAT GPT OR BIG BALLS?
RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication?

RFK JR: I did not fact check

RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate

RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

@handmadekathy.bsky.social just saw this. We're missing you in our groups. Made me think there might be a way to get you back in. You may remember this happened to Marcela and she was able to be reinstated. We should find out.

KIDS TREATED WITH BOBBY'S PROTOCOL ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIVER DAMAGE.

High doses of Vitamin A and cod liver oil being given over an extended period of time is causing toxicity in some Texas children with measles.
In most cases it was given to avoid vaccination.

Democracy prevails for now. Judge Boasberg issued a restraining order to stop this administration from using the Alien Enemies Act and ordered all planes to turn around and return to the US. He also expanded the class to anyone the administration is trying to deport using the AEA.
Judge Boasberg is a hero.

“Because the Democrats tend to be inept and incompetent in explaining reality to people, Rep. Jerry Nadler released the report on New Year’s Eve where it basically got zero attention.”

How to destroy #PublicHealth and reduce #LifeExpectancy

"'We're really talking about deaths,'... 'Even a reduction in flu and COVID vaccines can lead to increased deaths.'"
Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots
An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.
