I need every single journalist covering vaccine stuff at the FDA to be explicit about this. Thank you @katherinejwu.com. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... There is a genuine open question regarding the degree of benefit for otherwise healthy kids to get seasonal COVID-19 boosters.

Of course the Trump administration would replace a well respected scientist and public health hero with a money and attention grubbing Twitter "celebrity"https://www.statnews.com/2025/05/06/vinay-prasad-fda-center-for-biologics-evaluation-and-research-peter-marks-hhs-rfk-jr-makary/

I'd love to know at what point an illness becomes chronic. 10 years? 15 years? When, RFK Jr, when? Bc apparently 5 years of disabling fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pain, nausea, isn't long enough... The callousness and hypocrisy of this administration is staggering 💔 😥🤬 cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions. "About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors." dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/02/f...
