March, protest, boycott.

Oh FFS.

And peanut allergies. There's no reason these topics need to be under extra scrutiny. Silencing them could have devastating consequences.

epp-97.bsky.social•74 days ago

RFK Jr has talked before about a potential link between one of his kid’s peanut allergies and vaccines, so that’s my guess why it’s there 🙄

Hey President Elon, revisiting previously studied and debunked garbage science is a waste of the taxpayers dollars.

karlkovacs.bsky.social•74 days ago

This is what we call in medical science terms a ‘shit show.’
Wanna know how bad this will get?

In Russia 97% of children are vaccinated (2023). In China, national immunization is generally over 90%. Maintaining high coverage remains crucial to preventing outbreaks. 🧐

qunniq.bsky.social•74 days ago

It it’s not in the interest of those countries if we’re educated and healthy

gitamccheetah.bsky.social•74 days ago

Bingo.

bluesky-99.bsky.social•74 days ago

It goes without saying that for the next 4 years nothing on the HHS web pages can be trusted as factual.

tumbleweed07.bsky.social•74 days ago

Truth⬆️

shmarya.bsky.social•74 days ago

Who tf writes your social media headlines? There’s no neutrality here. Vaccines don’t cause autism. If you can’t find a way to write a headline that accurately explains that and the meaning of RFK’s order, please stop posting on social media.

timoritzen.bsky.social•74 days ago

We know, and everyone with just 1 brain cell, vaccines don’t cause autism. But RFK doesn’t, he truly believes they do😬

infiniterest.bsky.social•74 days ago

Maybe it's the job for him. Really, for as reckless as he seems, to be still alive is a grand testament. But he doesn't seem very healthy. Just still alive.

So the party of “the deep state is hiding information from us” is stifling publication of information that tax payers paid for.

MAGA Republicans are some kinda stupid. Where Bro Rogan now with his conspiracy theories?

rkoziol.bsky.social•73 days ago

Call Sen Cassidy MD, Senate Chair of Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee. He cast the deciding vote for RFK Jr.

(202)224-5824

Hold him accountable for his decision & also tell him to vote “NO” on Weldon for CDC Dir & “NO” on Battachyra for NIH Dir (both are anti-vax).

bellabluehere.bsky.social•74 days ago

Oh. Take extra vitamin A. Oh and ivermectin, take lots of that

rockiesprogs.bsky.social•71 days ago

This is the far right. They have their agenda.

kimmurphy100.bsky.social•74 days ago

Holy fuck, what an idiot.

Nothing like using taxpayer's money to fund research into your own unhinged anti-evidence conspiracy beliefs.

Good grief. Trump & his lackeys didn’t cause enough deaths from their COVID incompetence during his first term?

bkrumsch.bsky.social•74 days ago

Right? It’s like they’re trying to force Darwinism.

bakojenny.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yep, because the wealthy can always fly to other countries to get adequate health care. Average Americans can not.

three words. All English. Otherwise unconnected in any honest, truthful, or scientific way.

julmm.bsky.social•74 days ago

ThankYou for your reporting as always. This article is chilling.

loydj77.bsky.social•74 days ago

Wouldn't call it scrutiny. I think that worm ate too much of his brain and he lost all objectivity.

elyse42.bsky.social•74 days ago

Wow, if RFKJR *really* wanted to make America healthy, he'd go after high fructose corn syrup and palm oil, both of which contribute greatly to heart disease, the #1 killer, not to mention obesity.

rondomane.bsky.social•74 days ago

imagine if people had the time and resources to cook for themselves? wouldn't that be wild!

vetplay-sarge.bsky.social•74 days ago

Didn't Kennedy just mandate a huge study in vaccine and autism?

bakojenny.bsky.social•72 days ago

Biased to the core! You know he will stifle any opposing views.

coldownsouth.bsky.social•74 days ago

Maybe he can help Musk with his mental deficiencies??

stet.bsky.social•74 days ago

peanut allergies are woke now?

doodoobrain.bsky.social•74 days ago

Anything can be “woke” if it offends the “free speech absolutist.”

wulfsethen.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yes. They are not strong and manly (TM), therefore woke.

bakojenny.bsky.social•72 days ago

Stupid! No way in hell should our health information be dictated by a biased anti vax lunatic that has no science degree. This is criminal!

suprinasculpture.bsky.social•74 days ago

We’re getting shut down

lsous.bsky.social•74 days ago

I would like to know if I will be able to get a current flu shot this fall. Or I should make plans to visit another country to get it.

bakojenny.bsky.social•72 days ago

They are shutting down the agencies that determine which ones they will be, and cutting funding for that. So what do you think? The wealthy will be able to go to other countries to get theirs.
