Protecting the nation’s public health demands data, whether it be new measles cases, a surge in ER visits, or shifting patterns in obesity. The most recent job cuts at the CDC threaten the mostly unseen foundation of that research enterprise.

More candidates for Pete Hegseth’s bootcamp? Why do they all look the same & act the same? Where are their Mothers? What makes them think they’re superior? I have so many questions.

It’s maddening how these lawyers like Paxton & RFKjr think they know so much about human physiology. Stupid assholes.

Pretty rich how Paxton calls us “woke medical providers.”
They want us to just shut up and give them an organ regardless if they’re the best candidate for success. If you refuse evidence based medicine, you shouldn’t get an organ. You don’t get to pick & choose. Next name on the list, please?

“Texans looking to receive medical care should never be turned away due to arbitrary COVID-19 vaccine mandates imposed by woke medical providers.” -TX AG Paxton

Yet, Y’all want us “woke providers” to operate on you & take care of you. Make it make sense.

Those burly guys are probably heavy equipment operators, plant workers, and welders. They do NG one weekend a month unless deployed. They’re not built or trained for ICE ops.

Measles are preventable.

Obtain the two MMR vaccines injections & protect your children.

It’s that simple!
