"First do not harm" is not a suggestion it is a core feature of the job. If you can't check your biases at the door when you provide healthcare, find another job. Calling ICE on a patient is some disgusting behavior.

So RFK Jr. has pulled funding for mRNA vaccines, because HE doesn't believe in them.
Meanwhile the U.S. is suddenly a 3rd world country begging for help when the next pandemic hits & Europe asks if we’d like fries with our pleas for help.
But hey RFK Jr. sure showed Big Pharma, right?

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
