Illinois will not flinch, nor will we falter, when confronted with attacks on our healthcare system by figures like RFK Jr. Today, alongside @GovPritzker, my bill HB767 was signed into law: a first-in-the-nation measure establishing a state-based vaccine-recommending body.

This is absolutely crazy, not based on any science, and contrarian only for the sake of opposing commonly-accepted decades-long medical research.
This is why Illinois today enacted a law to create a state-based vaccine approval process for when the CDC does harmful sh#t like this.

You can draw a straight line between unaffordable healthcare (looking at you, Trump and GOP Congress, for gutting Obamacare insurance subsidies) and those who will roll the dice and take medical advice from AI.

Chatbots are cheap, always available, superficially empathetic — and sometimes wrong. Driven in part by frustrations with the medical system, some Americans are concluding that A.I. medical advice is a risk worth taking.

Imagine if anyone around you could be carrying a loaded, hidden gun — regardless of your state's laws & even without any firearms training.
Congress could make this deadly vision a reality through a nationwide concealed carry mandate. We must speak out.

Why a federal concealed carry gun bill must be stopped - The Boston Globe
The law would force all states to recognize concealed carry permissions from anywhere else in the country, and would be highly dangerous for civilians and law enforcement.

Illinois is stepping up where Washington has failed to act. After Secretary Kennedy dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, I passed HB767, making Illinois the first state to create its own state-based vaccine-recommending body grounded in science, not politics.
