PH.D. immunologist, I run an academic research lab studying vaccines and teach immunology. Passions are sailing and playing guitar.
We need a slogan as recognizable as MAGA to unite the diverse group of Americans who oppose the current administration. We are more than Democrats, more than Left Wing. How about Keep America Free, KAF? Any other ideas?

Dr Don says: "There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born hepatitis B [vaccine," Trump said. "So I would say wait until the baby is 12 years old."

Trump advises parents on hepatitis B vaccine. Here's why doctors say he's wrong
It's unusual for Presidents to give medical advise. But this week President Trump told parents to delay giving their kids a hep b shot until they turn 12. Doctors say this is bad and dangerous advice.

I urge everyone to get the updated Pfizer COVID vaccine, even if you are under 65 and in good health. It's all about public health and keeping the level of COVID in the community as low as possible. Telling the Pharmacist you are overweight has worked for some of my friends.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

'Lab Leak,' a flashy page on the virus' origins, replaces government COVID sites
The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.
