So, RFK thinks the current measles outbreak is nothing unusual. Tell that to the communities around Lubbock. He is now looking at whether vaccinations contribute to chronic illness instead of promoting vaccinations to help end this outbreak.
Good BBC article here.

The way he looks at Trump here 🔥🔥
Biden: We have an obligation to stand up to what my dad used to say is the greatest sin of all: The abuse of power.

*camera cuts to Trump and former presidents*

So Trump has said yet again that
Greenland (an autonomous Danish territory) and the Panama canal (Panama - independent country) should belong to the US.
As a former resident of Denmark, I can safely say that he is once again a laughing stock and comedians are having a field day.
Dementia anybody?

I heard on NPR that Louisiana is restricting public health advertising for Covid, Influenza and Mpox vaccines. Not in writing mind you, just verbally. Newly appointed Louisiana SurgGen and deputy (an opthalmologist) both parrot vaccine disinformation.
Just a taste of the future under RFKjr.

I applaud mayor Conway's comments when harassed by the gutter press as to the identities of the victims " it's absolutely none of y'all's business...please have some human decency and respect..."
Some of the press are only interested in what sells, no matter the cost to the individual in the story.

While not normalizing Trump, we must allow Trump the Rope to hang himself . In 2 years no one will admit they voted for Trump.

Interesting quote I read today:

Liberty is murdered in the streets by those who can't be bothered to win fairly the contest of ideas....

Sound familiar?

So, this caught my eye, as I hear yet again my colleagues complain about a large provider refusing to cover drugs that prevent reoccurrence of a cancer. They will cover them though, once the cancer reoccurs.....

More on RFK: Nice article on the AJMC web page showing 5 of his policy points that are going to be interesting. Looks like we can once again throw scientific rigour out of the window in favour of anecdotes and fringe theories.

So, RFK Jr's plans for the FDA include taking a sledgehammer to the FDA, firing employees (we know how well that went at the IRS). Yes, remove dyes from food, but no to raw milk (TB or listeria anyone?).

As someone who has worked in Healthcare for 40 years, including 27 years in free healthcare (or as the Conservatives say "socialized medicine"), having a vaccine denier like RFK scares the shit out of me. Let's be real vaccines prevent measles, mumps, rubella, T, b and a host of other diseases.
