In 2019 I asked my doctor about boosting all of my vaccinations and adding a few extra because of my work travel. He asked if I was traveling to a third world country. I said, "Yes, the United States." He boosted my MMR and DTAP and added Hep-A and - B and yellow fever.

MODERATORS
Let me guess which experts will get hired in their places
One will be a 22 years old gardener with 4 years of extensive research on vaccines on various forums
Another one will be someone with a master's degree in arts but with ten years experience on bashing against vaccines on sitter
Then there will be an high school dropout that became rich selling supplements on a website that is advocating using chlorine as eyedrop
Finally some stay at home mom with 5 years of experience selling essential oils, specialized in curing any kind of disease, even terminal cancer

Kill as many as is possible via those germs/bacteria you don't even believe in Sewer Swimmer....
Fucking Idiot. 🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩
These are fascist eugenicists who believe that the strong should let the weak die, not help them. And by "strong" they mean themselves and their straight white rich men's club, and by "weak" everyone else. If they get sick they'll just pay whatever it costs to get some exclusive treatment. Why waste money on the poors?
But they're also very stupid and will die of diseases they promoted.
Their strength derives from their wealth, so let's beat them with socks full of quarters, and see how tough they really are.

I hope some people are starting a project 2029 document that outlines all the bonkers people that immediately needs to be shit canned and rehired (if they’re even still available) when Trump is out.
It’s actually really frustrating that a plan of similar scope to undo all the damage and fortify our democracy hasn’t been released or at least hinted. It’s clear a huge portion of what were thought to be core components of how our government functions and maintains a balance of power were vulnerable to hostile actors and we need to patch these holes and harden our institutions against future attacks. Democrats need a project 2029 designed to protect against future project 2025 style attempts, assuming they get the chance

“A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science.”
These professionals are widely trusted, asshole. It's your lunatic fringe base that mistrusts them!
Wait, people have religious objections to vaccines? Do they worship St. Influenza or what? Is this the Church of Virus Christus? Latter Day Plagues? Cough-olic? Je-fever's Witnesses?

RFK jr reminds me of Mother Theresa - steadfastly certain of his rightness and while perpetrating the most terrible suffering through his actions. He is the worst kind of evil - stubborn and blind to the demonstrable suffering and harm he is causing.

I've entered an age where a gov department that is supposed to be dedicated to protecting public health is actively sabotaging it.

Ok so I'm british so you will have to forgive my ignorance but how did the most stupid cunts in your country get in charge is it really that corrupt?
money. no US based news even reported on the racist, insane shit Trump was saying. constantly. you'd be hard pressed to hear Trumps voice before the election in the US, Fox was running 24hr news reals of "dirty Mexicans are flooding over the boarder killing and raping white women everywhere in the US" just over and over again. social media was flooded with posts of "Biden and Harris are Pro-Israel here's Israel killing children in gaza again" over and over. we had relatively low voter turn out, lot of very sudden voting changes right before the election, and Bezos, and Musk openly moving heaven and hell to support Trump. This is what capital wanted. a horrid, corrupt government that can be wielded with little effort.
yup, because all the MSMs are actually owned by conservatives hence the sudden change+ they had republican celebrities come out the woodwork to drum up more support, one thing cons love is celebrities, and gossip, its also to obfuscate republican, right winger roles in the epstein files/diddy.
We let the rich, who aren't necessarily the smartest people, get too rich, so they gained too much power. Worldwide problem though, as their influence doesn't stop at borders.
A combination of propaganda and fear.
propaganda, fear/mysogyny/racism, and election machine rigging via musk satellite.
Yes, and you should understand the corruption quite well seeing it firsthand over there, right? (Sad to say.)
As a Millenial I have witnessed attacks on the quality of our education since I've been conscious.
I think the symptoms of cutting education over and over and over again are finally showing
the attack has been ongoing for decades, im also a milleneal. this is from a blue area. its underfunded, if they have to pass failing students there is a problem(participation grades has been occurring since the early 2000s. the interesting thing is this plays right into being fodder for military recruitment too. just near my area theres at least 2-3 different service recruiment stations(usually around malls) within a couple miles radius. 1-2 extremely close another highs school. they are almost never in or near wealthy areas. go a little outside of city, in another out of the waymall is another recruitment center.
they love to glorify the few gifted/4.0 students at our schools and neglecting everyone else.
This. Education or lack thereof is why we are where we are.

The craziest part of this, is that they are catering to all the nutjobs that don't believe in science.
Now they're bringing in nutjobs that don't believe in science to prove scientifically to those people that don't believe in science that they can't believe in anything.
God forbid we waste tax payers money.
What everyone in the US should do RIGHT NOW is get all the currently recommended vaccines for their age group and health conditions. There is a high probability that they will either become unavailable or not covered by insurance in the near future.
No kidding, do it now, and see that your family members do the same.
Nurse here: I have a hard time imagining vaccines won't be covered by insurance unless federal law starts to prohibit it for some bonkers reason. Vaccines are the simplest and most effective prevention for a number of illnesses which can require expensive care. And they're cheap. Vaccines are good for the bottom line. Like, they're practically gold. If they didn't make financial sense, insurance companies wouldn't be covering them. It would be unfathomable for insurance companies to elect not to cover them unless they can also elect not to cover treatment for the resultant illness.
That said, I think the much more likely thing is RdumbFucK Jr. trying to make them unavailable, because clearly someone who has zero training in medicine or infectious disease or any science of any kind knows better than the collective consensus of the entire world's medical community... So, get your vaccinations while you can.
insurance encourage vaccinations the ones that are approved, simply because any infections is more expensive than a vaccine down the line.
i had my tdap, covid recently. i was way past the flu season.
