Saying other first world countries don't recommend Hep B vaccines at birth is an outright lie. Among countries in the European Centre for CDC: as of 2019, 43% of those countries offered a HepB birth dose to all newborns. Also, Australia recommends a birth dose + Israel and other countries.

Price transparency in health care is necessary. But prices are not THE answer to reigning in prices or fixing what is broken in our system.

Add to your to-do list this weekend - get your COVID and Flu shots. The committee advising on vaccines (ACIP), now mostly anti-vaxxers, is meeting this week. It’s expected they will further restrict access to these life-saving vaccines. I just got back from getting mine- easy in my state and free.

Is Kirk's murder a political problem or a young male and gun access problem?

Yes, Kirk was all about politics. Maybe the killer didn't like his politics. But if he didn't have easy access to guns, maybe Kirk would not have been killed. Consider this for solutions.

Sen. Johnson just said that CDC hid the signal of myocarditis (he couldn't even pronounce it correctly). Not true. It was uncovered by docs at Walter Reed & reported immediately to CDC. These were 23 cases out of many thousands of people vaccinated. It was made public as soon as this was verified.

RFKjr says that infant mortality has increased. What population group has caused this increase? Black women. What did he do? Canceled all research and programs that address health disparities that address the issues causing increases in infant mortality and chronic diseases. Disgraceful.

RFKjr is a disgrace. He needs to resign.

The loss of highly experienced CDC leadership is the latest devastating result of the Administration’s sustained attacks on public health, and it absolutely must be the last.
