There’s currently an outbreak of pertussis in my kids’ high school.

We will see more cases like this pop up around the country if anti-vaccine rhetoric is allowed to flourish and public health messaging backed by science continues to be suppressed.

Given we sawth massive TB outbreak...(and also since TB vaccine isn't normally given)...Why is that fool even being considered since he has no medical training?

And measles can cause serious pregnancy complication$$

It’s so infuriating that with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, so many are okay with having people, especially children, suffer from diseases easily prevented with vaccines that are proven safe and effective 😔.
We absolutely do not need an anti vax conspiracy theorist in charge of our health.

I'm very thankful that my parents didn't fall to the maga mindset until trump came along...because to send your child into the world without the basic defense of vaccines is so cruel 😖 I fear for HHS
