RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine. This is false. They are hospitalized with: •respiratory distress •pneumonia •dangerously high fever •encephalitis •severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

Tennessee Families for Vaccines gave away copies of my book to legislators yesterday as they declared that "protecting public health is patriotic!" How awesome is that?! I hope it makes a difference! The US has been pro-vaccination since its founding. Let's not change it.

RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in vaccines, but he’s made millions from biotech investments & lawsuits against vaccine companies. How can someone with such glaring conflicts of interest be trusted to lead HHS? Our health deserves better. Tell our Senators to vote NO. Safecommunitiescoalition.org/rfkhearing
