A fed employee shared this on Reddit:

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my f*cking firing. I make $50K a yr & work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

⚠️RFK Jr just told the US Senate that he does not know if COVID vaccines saved millions of lives.

2.4 million lives were saved by the COVID vaccines in the first 8 months alone.

COVID vaccines prevented >18.5 million US hospitalizations, 3.2 million deaths and saved $1.15 trillion in the US alone

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

I’m old enough to remember the catastrophic toll of HIV/AIDS denial by South African President Thabo Mbeki, which led to >300,000 AIDS deaths.

I never thought that 20 years later, an HIV/AIDS denialist would be tapped for the helm of health policy in the US.

RFK Jr MUST be rejected
