It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

CBS News has embraced their role as a right wing propagandist machine.
They’re airing a program sponsored by Bank of America called “Has Feminism Failed Women?”
They’re doing this at the same time Trump is trying to remove legal protections that ensure women can get loans without a male co-signer.

Deposition Transcript of Jeffrey Epstein in which he was asked if he ever socialized with Donald Trump. He answered yes.
And then he was asked if he had ever socialized with Trump in the presence of girls under the age of 18.
In response, Epstein pled the Fifth.

I'm so glad we got my youngest's kindergarten vaccinations even though he doesn't go to kindergarten until 2027. Who knows if those vaccines will have moved from "not recommended" to "banned" by then.
I'm so glad his doc let us know he's old enough.

People died of non-Covid things because they couldn't access care. What happens when kids are occupying hospital beds for months because they got tetanus unvaccinated?
Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million.
6-year-old was infected in 2017 while playing on the family's farm, the first case of tetanus in Oregon in 30 years, according to a CDC report.

I know people are rightly going to be worried about child health, their own health. But we also can't afford this. Like, John Hopkins did an estimate (next link) and every measles case during outbreaks cost on average $43,000 to treat. That kid who got tetanus cost $1 million dollars to treat /1

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
