Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Contribution of vaccination to improved survival and health: modelling 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization

This is not good for my blood pressure. This is the worst measles outbreak 30 years- this is highly unusual!!! He also lied and said the hospitalizations were mostly for quarantine!! We do not hospitalize children with measles for quarantine.

⭐️ Doing the work to help locally! As an elected official in beautiful & historic Woodstock, IL, I often have to meet with legislators on “both sides” to see state funds make their way to my constituents! A big project in the works needs help over the finish line. Went to our capital for requests.

When given the choice between defending scientific fact & indulging conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. has chosen the latter every single time.
When the US faces the next public health crisis, I hope that my sensible GOP colleagues put scientific integrity & American lives over their allegiance to Trump.

A good read on DOGE's ill-advised NIH funding cuts: goodscience.substack.com/p/indirect-c...
In fact, when the previous Trump Administration tried this in 2017, the Republican Congress explicitly forbade it:

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.
It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.
In that sense, the system is working very well.
But it is not working for the average American.
We need Medicare for All.

This is dangerously irresponsible on every level. Indiscriminately slashing this funding will cripple lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service.
Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.
