I got my first dose of MMR almost exactly a year before Wakefield published his fraudulent, unethical study arguing it should be broken into 3 shots.
Almost 30 years later, my antibodies (and, unfortunately, this bad idea) are still going strong.

Florida's Surgeon General does, however, call measles outbreaks "common" and says he does not believe elimination is a worthwhile goal, "kids are gonna catch stuff...that's a part of health."

In December 2022, Joseph Fraiman expressed his concerns that the doubt he was casting on Covid vaccines would lead to mistrust of pediatric vaccines, telling parents "these are safe."
He is now under consideration for RFK Jr's ACIP.
**I do not expect him to stand by this now and stand up to RFK**

Robert Malone serves on ACIP, the CDC's vaccine advisory committee.
He routinely uses Substack to attack CDC & spread false claims about vaccines. He has tens of thousands of paid subscribers. From what I can tell, his annual earnings from this are at the very least $500K, but could be 7 figures.

Imagine you start a podcast with your friend with whole episodes responding to criticism you received years ago while your friend tells you how correct you are. Imagine you hire that friend to work for you when you become director of a federal agency. Then imagine your friend posts this about you :/

Before voting to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Director, Cassidy said RFK Jr would testify before the Senate HELP committee quarterly. Well the last time that happened was May 14th and I have some questions.
Better yet, #RemoveRFK.

"I wish the CDC continued success in its vital mission and that HHS reverse its dangerous course to dismantle public health as a practice and as an institution. If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States."
