Trump either doesnt understand how many people rely on robust Medicare and Medicaid programs for healthcare needs or he doesn’t care.

Suggesting states should foot the bill is nonsensical but signals his priorities (which aren’t healthcare)

Does Congress have to authorize use of ground troops?

I was so hopeful. But the last sentence in the article is: "However, the implications for real-world protection remain uncertain."

This!!! 🩷

I HATE this administration with every cell in my body. They are destroying the country from every angle and want to destroy your kids as well.

Have you seen the statue of Trump holding hands with Epstein? I guess since the park service is shut down it might stay there for a while!

Does this include Novavax or are they just pulling mRNA COVID vaccines?

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer:
"Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay!

RFK Jr and HHS just ended all US supported mRNA vaccine development

Hi Angry, do you have any good book recommendations. I'm in need of news diversions!

RFK Jr celebrated the release of the MAHA report by downing raw milk shooters in the White House with influencer Paul Saladino. Hazards of raw milk include Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Yersinia, E. coli O157:H7, and now-- avian flu.

Maybe Miller it was Miller that really gave Musk that black eye, not X???

To be clear:

Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all.

Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal.

The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

⚠️ The CDC's HICPAC website has been archived.

I heard from colleagues today HICPAC would be disbanded.

Exclusive | FDA Asks Vaccine Maker to Complete New Clinical Trial for Delayed Covid-19 Shot A new randomized study could cost Novavax tens of millions of dollars, vaccine experts say

Bad news for the Novavax COVID vaccine: FDA wants Novavax "...to show its vaccine is effective w/ another randomized study after appointees under (HHS Sec. RFK Jr.) intervened in the approval process... The additional step goes beyond what other Covid-19 vaccine makers had to do to win approval..."🛟

Just a reminder:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks formal education or professional credentials in critical scientific fields such as biology, neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, immunology, virology, epidemiology, genetics, pharmacology, or medicine.

In the middle of a hepatitis outbreak, U.S. shutters the one CDC lab that could help All 27 scientists at the CDC's viral hepatitis lab were told their duties were "unnecessary." Ongoing outbreak investigations have now been halted.

www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

Terrifying News:

A hepatitis C outbreak strikes Florida, and the U.S. government shuts down the only CDC lab capable of testing the samples.

This isn’t a mistake it’s political negligence putting lives at risk.

We need leaders who act now and prioritize health. We need accountability and answers.

FDA making plans to end its routine food safety inspections, sources say Food safety inspections would be left to state and local authorities under the plan being developed by the FDA.

BREAKING: FDA Planning to End Routine Food Safety Inspections, Sources Reveal

Federal officials say the move is still under discussion and may require congressional approval to implement fully.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

I have a passport, but my last name doesn't match my birth certificate. Was wondering if that will be accepted or if my passport will have to be changed back to my maiden name? These are strange times...

Thoughts on Trump's "it's a great time to buy," post and stock market manipulation?

Really, have to get SSA comm announcements on X now???

Do you think the SAVE Act has any chance of passing the Senate? Trying to figure out if I have to change my IDs back to my maiden name?

Trump has blown a massive hole in global health funding—and no one can fill it Other countries, foundations, international groups are unable to replace billions lost in U.S. cuts

A sudden $30–40B cut in U.S. global health aid has left a vacuum no one’s able to fill.

Philanthropies, Europe, and China are stepping in, but the scale of need far exceeds their reach. 🩺🛟
