I can’t fully articulate the way my stomach dropped when I saw this headline. Please know the evidence has not changed. The people in charge have changed, and they did not consult any relevant experts or the public. “This new policy has not been vetted with pediatricians, the public, or the ACIP”
Federal health officials slash recommended childhood vaccinations under Trump’s directive

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.

This is infuriating.
RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”
Note the language in second photo.

There are NO KINGS in America—our Constitution is very clear that no president can serve more than 2 terms.
This is the LAW, not a suggestion and no wannabe dictator can change that.
