📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC

The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

🦠What happens when you say you will only protect babies of infected moms, but you are bad at detecting infected moms❓

🚫You miss a lot of babies who needed protection.

This is exactly why in 1991 we went from only vaccinating babies of Hepatitis B positive moms to vaccinating all babies.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Looking for a compelling history of the emergence of AIDS in the US?

And The Band Played On by Randy Shilts is one of the best, exploring the history through those involved across the globe and the rise of ACT UP (Also a 🎥).

We wish all health histories were this good.

Trump is stripping federal protections for whistle blowers.

Apparently, there's a recorded phone call between Trump and MBS after the Khashoggi and it's...something.

The House has passed H.R. 5107, a bill to undo basic transparency and accountability measures for DC police.

Rolling back laws around police accountability is dangerous and will encourage abuse of power.

H.R. 5107 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.
A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report.
Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

Louisiana’s worst whooping cough outbreak in decades: 387 cases, 2 infant deaths.

After Surgeon General Ralph Abraham paused vaccine promotion, cases surged and the public was left in the dark.

Antivaxx politics cost lives.

Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.
