Last year’s flu season was quite bad, and as flu cases surged, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham forbid the health department from promoting flu vaccines!
Lucky for us here at CDC, Abraham is the latest grifter to be appointed to leadership as the new Principal Deputy Director at CDC 🆘🤢

I know we’re programmed to shop. It’s easier for us who are always in poverty to do this whereas others have become accustomed to just clicking buy whenever they want to watch or play or eat something.

This new policy from NIH is concerning.

In a wild — but friendly — exchange between US President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, Trump said he didn’t “mind” Mamdani previously calling him a “fascist.”
Trump, who once called Mamdani a “communist,” heaped praise on him at their meeting.

The CDC website was quietly edited last night to claim there’s “no evidence” that vaccines don’t cause autism.
This is false.
But this is damaging, even beyond people’s confidence in vaccines.
For the first time in my career, I cannot tell people to trust what the CDC website without hesitation.

Ignorance is not bliss.
The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism.
The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
