Louisiana Health employees were ordered to stop promoting vaccinations, including COVID-19, influenza and mpox. Employees who spoke to NPR said officials asked that the anti-vaccine policy tweak be “implemented quietly” and kept out of writing but warned that it applied to all aspects of their work.

How tragic. Thank you for using your expertise and voice to educate and advocate

Can you imagine a world where insurance companies start denying payment for vaccines since they are no longer mandatory? Not covering vaccines for travel lays a precedent for it.
Can state health depts require vaccines? Can they require insurance companies to pay for them?

Good. We’re going to need people who know how to treat these currently rare diseases if RFK’s plan is followed.

Had an unvaccinated toddler with severe hearing loss from pneumococcal meningitis just last month. It's always such a tragedy

Another way to get rid of Social Security by killing off the young who would contribute to the pool. Stop and think about that.

This is absolute madness. Many people, including a whole lot of children that the MAGA Cult supposedly wants to protect, will die because of this. Preventable diseases will make a comeback & could mutate if enough people are unvaccinated; which will open up a Pandora's Box most of us wanted closed.

Hard agree

Reading this in conjunction with news highlighting how horrible US healthcare is and all I can think of is that our elites are setting us up for both disease and ruinous bills. Literally doing exactly the opposite of what a society should be doing.

The whole concept of anti-vaxx and its discussion at any level in a rational government in this day and age should be considered disqualifying for those members who give it more than 60 seconds of listen-time -
