Don’t listen to HHS Secretary RFK Jr. on anything—especially health, disease, and vaccines. He’s straight-up lying and going to get folks killed.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.
