This is why NPRs funding was cut actually sharing the news. The official Parks Service release on mentions him as a Free Mason. No mention of the Confederacy, his anti-immigration, anti-Catholic, nor racist stances

This will not only lead to poorer outcomes overall, but increased ED visits, higher health care costs for ALL OF US, and is just inhumane and against the oaths we took.
Huge concern as a Physician at a Federally Qualified Health Center about today's HHS announcement stating the undocumented individuals would no longer be able to receive care at FQHCs and Head Start. We are required to and often the only source of care in the community for these individuals.

I practice in Albany, NY a city without fluoridated water. I prescribe such supplements on a regular basis because dental care is lacking, especially for Medicaid patients. Now we're trying to remove all methods of prevention? Oral health is health care. This is public health.

Yup, our new Surgeon General.
Didn't complete residency and not licensed in any state to practice medicine. The irony is that she would never be able to treat anyone for the illnesses she's ultimately promoting.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

The only medicine for measles is the MMR vaccination.

Yes, RFK Jr., Some Studies Suggest That Vitamin A Protects Against Measles. But There’s a Major Catch That Parents Need to Know.
No, nutrition is not better than vaccination.
