Absolutely fucking wild to see the leaders of our country spinning what JD and Cheeto did to President Zelensky. I don’t know how any member of this admin sleeps at night.

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency”
They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.
We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

If you're worried about vaccine availability moving forward talk to your pediatricians. While there is a routine schedule, there is flexibility.
For example Gardasil is usually given at 11 but can be dosed as early as 9.
MMR is given at 12 and 48 months but dose 2 can be given earlier.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

When the bosses let us know which nurse quality indicators are in the red (pressure injuries, falls, etc) I remind them that a sure fire way to fix that is better nurse to patient ratios.

They’re saying Elon’s not smart enough to build a submarine capable of visiting the wreckage site of the Titanic. They’re saying he doesn’t have enough money or gumption to do it. They’re saying he’s too much of a loser that he couldn’t even find four to five friends to bring along with him.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K
Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)
Mortality rates:
Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K

FYI
Viagra has more serious side effects than Mifepristone
Mifepristone has a lower risk of side effects than penicillin
So why is it such a big deal to these GOP boys anyway?
