CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

I’ve just been informed that not permitting scientific misinformation on my feed, including claims that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne HIV, is “tone policing”.
It’s actually fact-checking. I don’t give a shit who is posting misinformation or why. Zero tolerance.

This Administration’s policies will spur millions of new infections and deaths from AIDS. Today’s announcement is simply to rub all of our noses in this. It is to say: we know what we’re doing; we don’t care. It is pure sadism. It’s a descent into barbarism once again.
1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

Folks, get your vaccines now!
A third infant in Kentucky has died of whooping cough this year.
Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

It looks like it’s going to be bad…have you had your flu vaccine yet?
"It’s still not too late to get a flu shot. The more people who get vaccinated prior to the start of the flu season, the better it’s going to be. The flu season has started earlier this year and looks to be severe again." #RSNA25

While flu levels are still low, a strain that has wreaked havoc in the U.K. and Canada is behind most cases so far in the U.S., mostly affecting kids.
