That's not good. Right before RFK starts screwing around with the flu vaccine and every other vaccine, for that matter. He's about to kill a lot of people with his outdated dangerous theories.
He wants a registry of autistic persons whom he already has declared a drag on society. They will never work, pay taxes to King Trump, get married, or live a productive life, he claims, so he wants them on a registry like the Jews in Poland. Next up, lazy Medicaid kids in wheelchairs.
Trump, Kennedy & the rest of these criminals should be charged with these deaths. They use our lives & the lives of our children as political fodder, lying about the fact that vaccines save lives. Sane, decent people who cared about our families would be preventing this slaughter - not causing it!
It appears our nation has reached a time when enlightenment is on the decline, that people are proud of their stupidity and willingness to follow social media conspiracies rather than heed the warnings of scientist and physicians. Unfortunately as in war the innocent pay the price.
It's sad that parents will take advice from a heroin addict and a rapist instead of their doctors. And they want us to have more children? Not in this environment. Not in this shithole country.
How else will we replenish the dwindling numbers of children who don't survive to adulthood, I ask you? I mean, it's not like we'll invite others from abroad to come here.
Say what you will, but I would not even think about bringing a child into this world and especially in this country. They deserve better. Maybe a better way would be to get rid of the charlatans spewing their junk science and bring down this illegal regime first.
Given that my reply was complete satire, I'd have to say we're in agreement. Children dying of preventable diseases are not to be "replenished"—they are mourned.
Those responsible must be held to account, and that starts at the top.
For real, I hope the US gets something like our Canada Child Benefit one day. Monthly cash paid to parents (mothers, typically) based on prior year's taxable income, per child, in a "Negative Income Tax" like system.
Good economic stimulus that prevents child poverty.
Every American family deserves that. Every American child deserves that. The "Negative Income Tax" model was first proposed by UK Conservatives in the early 20th century. It isn't even a 'leftist' thing, it is literally just smart social/economic policy.
This is horrific. Trump is bringing death to American families by destroying healthcare & the economy, ending Federal support to low income people, and he and Republicans want to make it even WORSE by taking away $880 BILLION from Medicaid.
216 families are RUINED.
We MUST STOP TRUMP & REPUBLICANS.
In reply to a report re child deaths from the flu, you've noted 'It's May 2'. I'm letting you know that, in parts of the world, it's already well into May 3. Hope that helps!
Pam Bondi: that's 216 children that were saved from dying from fentanyl pouring over the border from Canada. [That our highly trained U.S. Border Patrol agents apparently are unable to detect because Canada is that good at hiding it.]

3.1.25 WaPo article: Rise of pediatric flu cases in sending more children to the hospital https://wapo.st/42Jtrx4
Excerpt follows. They profile one mother, with a child with severe flu symptoms, who was literally vomiting blood, and the mother is still not going to vaccinate her kids.
Of all the WTFery, this is the one that truly perplexes me. Why have Rs enthusiastically embraced dying from preventable illnesses? Like what are they expecting from this stance?
Important to note that some red states stopped vaccine advocacy and even fired their vaccine chiefs during COVID but they never promoted vaccination afterwards. Flu A was rampant in Tennessee earlier this year.
It was horrible, my 5 year old ended up in PICU Christmas morning because of Flu A and pneumonia. He had just recovered from a previous pneumonia infection and ended up getting Flu A and pneumonia right after. The whole floor was full of kids dealing with that.
I can only read the abstract, so maybe something there is off, but the very next sentence says otherwise: “Note: this figure should not be interpreted as causal but correlational as it may include both undercounting and overcounting of deaths attributable to circumcision.”
If only there were some sort of extremely well tested, safe, effective, preventative measure that parents could get for their children to protect them.
Every single time I see posts like this, I want to remind people that Senator Bill Cassidy, MD of Louisiana had the power to tank RFK Jr’s confirmation but chose party over country instead.

Heck, I've got two double-blind studies going in my living room right now!
That way the MAGA executives can claim there isn’t any.

You know that old maxim "never attribute to malice, for what ignorance can explain", well...this isn't ignorance.

That’s not an annual figure. Not pro-circumcision or anything, just pro-fact checking.
