For a successful technology,
reality must take precedence over public relations,
FOR NATURE CANNOT BE FOOLED.
Für eine erfolgreiche Technologie muss
die Realität Vorrang vor Öffentlichkeitsarbeit haben,
DENN DIE NATUR LÄSST SICH NICHT TÄUSCHEN.

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket.
RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!

Little things that ICU nurses do that warm my heart and brighten my day. Did you know about the "love glove"?
They fill a glove with warm water to simulate human touch for patients who may not have family at bedside. Its popularity grew during peak of covid19 when hospital visits were not allowed.
