Exactly one month ago I wrote my Congressman concerned about measles and the new admin's gutting of the CDC. I told him that these actions would have real consequences and lead to the deaths of American children.
Today a child has died.

The good thing about getting vaccines and shots is that you're playing a role in helping protect immunocompromised people, most of whom are vaccinated but vax/shots are less effective due to the drugs they're on.

This is too familiar. A year and a half ago my wife needed a hip replacement. It wasn’t a choice. It was a medical necessity. Through our jobs and my WGA membership we have three “great” insurance policies. The day before the surgery a clerk said her primary insurance wasn’t going to cover it.
Apropos of nothing, thru my spouse‘s job we have “ good” insurance. 5yrs ago, I had knee replacement &they made me jump thru 1 million hoops ofc (& we were out of pocket $$$$ too). 1 month later, they sent me a 5-figure bill for the full amount. They *retroactively* unapproved it & demanded I pay up

RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.
