Big Cities Health Coalition letter on vaccines: www.bigcitieshealth.org/wp-content/u...
October 20, 2025 “As leaders of the nation’s largest local health departments, collectively serving nearly 50 million people across America’s cities, we are committed to providing our communities with every opportunity to support and improve health. “We are united behind a simple message: get vaccinated. “Vaccines have eradicated devastating diseases and saved millions of lives. They keep classrooms safe and schools open. They allow children to spend time with friends and enjoy their favorite activities. They help parents and caregivers work to support their families. “Despite this extraordinary success, vaccination rates are declining in many parts of the United States, and deadly outbreaks of diseases like measles and polio are becoming more frequent. We are deeply troubled by the repeated false claims about vaccines from too many federal officials, which have contributed directly to these trends. We are equally concerned about recent changes to the recommended childhood and adult immunization schedules that unnecessarily limit access to vaccines. It is imperative that federal health leaders follow the lead of pediatricians and medical researchers and support vaccination to protect our children, families, and communities. “Nothing matters more to us than protecting the health of those we serve. With respiratory virus season rapidly approaching, we strongly encourage all Americans to tune out the political noise about vaccines. Instead, talk with your doctor and other trusted health care providers or public health officials about which vaccines are right for you and your loved ones. “Doing so can save many lives — including your own.”

Does it ever occur to any of these guys that maybe people just don't like them or their politics? Why is it always voter fraud when they lose? Bunch of whiney toddlers.

Saw something the other day that said something like: One minute you’re young and fun and the next you’re turning down the car stereo to see better. Which I’ve done. I’m right there with you!

I filled it out. Yes I’m still a subscriber because I think I keep hoping that Bezos will come to his senses, and because of history. It makes me sad. But I was honest in my assessment and my belief that I probably won’t last much longer. Maybe that’s the point? To get rid of us all?
