The measles outbreak in Texas is the worst in thirty years, and it’s a DIRECT result of declining vaccine rates thanks to RFK Jr. Disinformation is eroding public health. In 2023, measles cases were 20% higher than in 2022. In 2022 they were 18% higher than in 2021. See the pattern? 1/

An adult produces 1.5 ounces of formaldehyde daily as part of metabolism (42,520,000 micrograms, in case you’re wondering). Formaldehyde, if used, MIGHT be present at less <50 µg per dose as a residual. An adult produces 850,000-times more formaldehyde daily than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

Flu vaccines prevent: 7.5 million illnesses 2-6 million medical visits 40,000 - 120,000 hospitalizations 3,000 - 12,000 deaths EVERY YEAR in the US alone. That’s pretty incredible with flu vaccine rates not exceeding 40-50% of eligible people. 1/

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

I refuse to be dejected and despondent. We are so much better than those in charge. I have relentless faith in the power of the people. And we at the Committee to Protect Health Care are 40,000 strong; doctors who will not give up on our patients’ need for accessible and affordable healthcare.
