The CDC is pulling its Covid-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced.
The CDC is no longer recommending Covid vaccines for healthy children, pregnant women

As a pediatrician who is in a lot of pediatric specific groups online, I have never heard of this actually happening … no one is doing this…
Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats.
But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids.
This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

I wish his immunity to facts would wane over time
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for people to get the measles vaccine while also falsely claiming it hasn’t been “safety tested” and its protection is short-lived.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. falsely claims measles vaccine protection 'wanes very quickly'
Though he endorsed measles vaccines, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to sow doubt about vaccine safety.

My daughter was diagnosed with thyroid cancer right after high school.
She was able to undergo surgery, radiation therapy, and followups thanks to insurance coverage till age 26.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!

Vote NO or GTFO
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

If you don’t do a background check then you can pretend you didn’t know you were hiring predators and abusers
“White House officials took the unusual step of ordering a stop to the background check investigations after they deemed the process too intrusive, sources said”
It’s a fucking background check. It’s SUPPOSED to be invasive.

As a pediatrician I am deeply engaged in educational outcomes of my patients. Not meeting the educational needs of students is going to have long term, devastating impacts on families for generations.
Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social we need a visually catchy infographic that outlines these tax plans in an accessible way!
Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.
All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

As a goddam doctor I have 1000% more knowledge than RFK Jr. about our heath system - not to mention my expertise in vaccines and other public health matters - and I am STILL not qualified to be head of HHS. I don’t know 1/10th of the things that I need to know to do that job.

@kaine.senate.gov how do we change this! Your electorate needs you all to be MUCH more publicly vocal. We can tell the senate hearings are a circus act that changes nothing. Arguing with a group of people who have already been bought is accomplishing nothing…
There is also a general culture within the party (in part due to your point) that discounts or strongly penalizes attention/digital performance/messaging, so there is a strong disincentive and risk for members to perform well in this capacity if they want to ascend.

We need ALL the senators going on ALL the news stations, doing ALL the TikTok’s to speak up about these nominees. A huge segment of our population has no idea what’s going in because they don’t really follow politics.
Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."
