They care about the fact that their brothers & sisters and mothers and husbands have died of fentanyl overdoses. That's what we really truly care about. We care about our fellow American citizens"

24-year-old Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe is fighting for his life after being shot last Wednesday blocks from the White House.
He remains in serious condition but has shown positive signs, giving a nurse a thumbs up when asked if he could hear.

Andrew Wakefield lost his medical license for publishing a fraudulent paper on MMR vaccines & autism.
He had gathered child subjects w/ the help of anti-vaccine groups & a lawyer looking to profit from it. He falsified data.
He is a friend of Kennedy.

On World AIDS Day I'd like to share this Wikipedia article I wrote about a time that the US government was actually pretty awesome about AIDS, back in 1988.
With the Trump administration's refusal to acknowledge the day, it's astonishing to look at how far we've regressed since the 80s.
