When someone is shown to be abusive? They should be shown the door. Right then and there. There are too many talented people in this world. Why waste time on damage control for someone who will not stop damaging others? Invest in someone new.

This is how you know insurance companies are evil. The ROI on every single vaccine is orders of magnitude more than up front cost (think prevented cirrhosis, cancer, surgeries, hospitalizations, etc). The only reason they wouldn’t cover vaccines is if they don’t plan to cover the consequences either
Blue Cross Blue Shield of California is the sole health insurance company that has pledged to continue covering childhood vaccines even if the fraudulent ACIP that RFK Jr. installed stops recommending them.
With RFK Jr. in Charge, Insurers Aren’t Saying If They’ll Cover Vaccines for Kids If Government Stops Recommending Them
RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory board could stop recommending some routine childhood immunizations, leaving insurers to decide whether to still cover them. For now, most are remaining tight-lipped.

Might I suggest what you want to remember you were doing the day after an American concentration camp opened in your lifetime is not arguing online about the camp’s name, but directly asking one person you trust what you could do together to help close the camp.

most important thing you can be doing right now is arguing in the mentions of a concentration camp scholar whether what's being built in florida is a concentration camp or a death camp. once we've settled on the right word to use we can move on to less important problems like what to do about them
