Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

This is absolutely crazy, not based on any science, and contrarian only for the sake of opposing commonly-accepted decades-long medical research.
This is why Illinois today enacted a law to create a state-based vaccine approval process for when the CDC does harmful sh#t like this.

You can draw a straight line between unaffordable healthcare (looking at you, Trump and GOP Congress, for gutting Obamacare insurance subsidies) and those who will roll the dice and take medical advice from AI.

Imagine if anyone around you could be carrying a loaded, hidden gun — regardless of your state's laws & even without any firearms training.
