First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

HHS Secretary Kennedy has been scarce at headquarters, has not visited a number of HHS agencies and has not sent all-staff emails to the department's workforce, according to one department official.

Notably, this person says, Kennedy has not done anything to address the measles outbreak.
With RFK Jr. at his side, a measles outbreak could prove 'politically perilous' for Trump
The health secretary has long pushed misinformation about vaccines and played down an outbreak in Texas that has led to the death of a child.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
