We invite you to Mad Lib an excerpt from an original poem by our Secretary of Health & Human Services titled, “Drink from Me.” Whatever you do, it’ll never be as bad or as gross as what he wrote himself.

The CDC is Not Dead. But Its Autism Page Now Tells Us The Fight Has Changed
The CDC website language change on autism is not the agency’s death knell. Instead, it’s the starting gun of a new race that must be run differently.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

Everyone should read this piece by the CDC leadership who resigned in Sept. We appreciate their continued leadership, support, and integrity within the public health space.
We know there are so many other things they could be doing. We are stronger together.

Crying. Trying to pick ourselves back up and continue to promote science and protect the health of all Americans. Call Senator Cassidy!
CDC Website has been hacked!
Just kidding (sadly 😩)
Call Senator Bill Cassidy (202- 224-5824) and tell him to DO something! As the man (and MD!) who was the deciding vote in confirming the 🧠 🪱 that is destroying public health, he is also culpable!

RFK Jr.’s CDC makeover is starting to look less “restoring trust” and more “gutting the place.” He’s firing experts, shrinking the workforce, and hobbling U.S. disease response. He is doing all while cozying up to ideology over science.

Today RFK Jr. attempted to blame peanut allergies on aluminum adjuvants in vaccines.
He also said that that it would be “an easy study” to find the causes of allergies. All you need to do, says he, is create a list of “suspects” and study them ALL one by one.
