I was a pediatric resident during the time the Hib vaccine was introduced. It was amazing. I was so happy to see less kids dying or getting diasbled from the vaccine.
To see that the vaccine rate is falling and the illness rate going up is very sad.

Bravo! Arbitrary and capricious is an apt description of all ACIP activities since January 20, 2025.
And "Born in the U.S.A" was not about how great our country is, despite every politician wanting to use it that way.
Why are these called “elite” doctors? Are better adjective might be “subservient.”

Of course he does. I'm waiting for him to put his name on our Country--Trump States of America [shiver].

This is in small-town Minnesota. This is not in one of those demonic blue cities that the GOP talk about. This is pretty goddam rural. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Yes, we know.
They are just asking for guillotines.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Ramping up the gaslighting to insane levels
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

This is #AlexPretti
He was killed today in #Minneapolis
He was 37 year old US citizen, a son, a brother and nurse who worked for the VA.
We should all be horrified about what is happening in the US.
We need our elected officials to stop playing politics and start protecting lives.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
I'm so sorry, Dimitri. This is just beyond understanding. May his memory be for a blessing.
