VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!
However
Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.

Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.
No, Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism—Here’s the Proof Parents Need to See

Lots of comments in support of Tatiana Schlossberg saying they want to do something. She bravely stood up for science rebuking RFK Jr. Get your flu and COVID vaccines-cancer patients depend on herd immunity as they are too immunosuppressed to be vaccinated. Show them some love through action.

Sending love and hope to the Kennedy's after reading Tatiana's brave essay in @newyorker.com

"I have never encountered a group of people who are more competent, more full of grace and empathy, more willing to serve others than nurses. Nurses should take over."
Tatiana, how we wish we could.

Might be a course of antibiotics for these students, but if they expose a baby or small child, pertussis (whooping cough) can be lethal due to their very small airways
PLEASE make sure your vaccinations are up to date, not just for your health but for those around you.

Oh, but our Social Security COLA increase is 2.6% this year. That should cover this 10% increase for Medicare Part B premiums, right seniors? 😡 🤯

Senators Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto YOU JUST GOT PLAYED.
Are you happy now that you gave up on the health and well being of your constituents?
Because you know who is celebrating? The FOTUS in the gold plated palace.

Remember this SENATOR TIM KAINE. WTH are you and the others doing? We want AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. What is so hard to understand? You have an assignment and we, the people give you an F MINUS.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?

MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.
