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/

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Ratner predicts the appointment of Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic, will impact vaccine availability and hesitancy: "It is much easier to scare people than to un-scare them," he says.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Eggs UP Taxes UP Gas UP RX drugs UP Dow Jones DOWN Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block. Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.
