This is what we call murder.
Unnecessary, preventable murder, particularly of innocent children and babies.
You can save people by giving them these vaccines, or you can kill many of them by not giving them these vaccines.
MAHA's goal is to "measure" the murder of children and babies.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

That's what makes them rights.
The issue is about trans rights, and the rights of all people.
As soon as you allow people to vote on them, or to allow public opinion to determine who has them, they're not rights anymore.
Popular sovereignty = a slaver's strategy.

Venus was at superior conjunction a few days ago (January 6th). Mars is at conjunction today (January 9th), and Jupiter will be at opposition tomorrow (January 10th). The close timing of these events results in the planetary alignment depicted in this view of the Solar System.🔭

Just a reminder to everyone looking at the congressional budget and seeing $24b for NASA:
No, everything is not just fine.
NASA is not just space and science, it's also people. And more than 4000 of those people, out of over 17000 at the start of 2025, are now gone.
It will take years to recover.
