Not to be trite but if vaccines caused autism we would know. It wouldn’t be a secret. They’ve been studied EXTENSIVELY. And they have been given to billions of people for many years. Even COVID vaccines!

I genuinely do not understand who is actually stupid enough to believe there is anything here?

We don’t admit people to the hospital for quarantining.

They can do that at home.

The many kids admitted to the hospital in Lubbock have severe respiratory complications from measles.

Stunning ignorance from highest health official, embarrassing really.

I’ve seen children die of

-influenza
-COVID
-pertussis

And wouldn’t wish those experiences on anyone.

Know what these things have in common?!

Effective vaccines that save lives.

More not so fun measles facts

🦠wipes out up to 73% of your antibodies to bacterial and viral infections (immune amnesia)
🦠prior to the vaccine, measles killed 2.6 million people a year
🦠can survive 2 hours in a room after an infected person leaves
🦠99% of unimmunized that are exposed are infected
Doesn’t it also reset your immune system?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a “king”

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda.

Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying.

Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate.

Who tracks surgical infections and sets guidelines for how to prevent your shiny new hip replacement from getting infected?

Who funds studies to determine the most cost-effective way to prevent your hip replacement from getting infected?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

“The CDC”

RFK Jr. is NOT a “vaccine skeptic.” He’s been a hardcore antivax conspiracy theorist for at least two decades.
