Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.

Speaks for itself.

Yet again, some people have let me know…they don’t like my support of science…the fact I know vaccines are safe…and I say so.
They’ve said I’m a “big mouth”, that I don’t know what I’m talking about, and that I need to “shut up”….

Ahem…
No 🙂😡

When the federal government abdicates all leadership on healthcare, it falls to states and individual providers to fill the gap.

Acetaminophen remains a safe pain relief option during pregnancy. Despite recent unfounded claims, there’s no clear evidence linking prudent use to fetal development issues. ACOG's guidance remains. When needed in pregnancy, acetaminophen should be used in moderation, after consulting a doctor.

I stand with those raising their voices in opposition to RFK Jr./what’s happening at CDC.
RFK is an affront to all those working in medicine/science/research. He is unqualified/a purveyor of disinformation/a proven liar.
He doesn’t care about you/your family, and cannot be trusted.
He should resign.
