Re-sharing Dr Tim Simon's words from Aug 10, 2025, fitting for today.
Today is 2 weeks since Aug 8th domestic terror attack on CDC that took Officer David Rose's life. We honor his sacrifice.

Remember:
Violence is preventable.
Violence is a public health problem.
Together we can make difference.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Image shows an article from NPR about Secretary Kennedy. The headline says, "Ancient miasma theory may help explain Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's Jr.'s vaccine move." In the headline, "may help explain" is crossed out and replaced with "Explains Why" and "vaccine move" is crossed out and replaced with "should resign." Above the article, it says, "Let's update this headline to be more appropriate." Below, it says, "We will keep fighting till this happens."

Breaking news - Apparently our HHS Secretary might believes in the long debunked miasma theory.

If you don't know - miasma theory is the idea that illness is caused by "bad air" that comes from decaying matter. It was debunked over 150 years ago when we learned that germs cause disease.

Our friends at @firedbutfighting.bsky.social made an incredible visualization of funding cuts to CDC (our parent org).

Big, ugly cuts to occupational health and far more.

'Member how they said they'd focus on chronic disease? We 'member. Shockingly, hypocrisy reigns. Peep the first bar 🔥🗑🔥.

The Alzheimer’s Program was maintained and moved to AHA with a $35M budget. Guess who got fired, though? CDC staff working on Alzheimer’s disease!

The image shows a statement from Fired But Fighting on RFK Jr.'s dismantling of ACIP. It says, "On June 9, 2025, Sec. Kennedy announced the firing of every single member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This action is the single most devastating move to undermine life-saving vaccines yet taken by this anti-science administration. The firing of all ACIP members threatens vaccinations and will undermine all vaccine development. Allowing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Nation's public health is disastrous. He is not the person for this job, he has shown us this time and time again. He must resign. Fired But Fighting, along with other public health professionals, demand Sen. Cassidy and other members of congress take action to impeach Sec. Kennedy if he refuses to resign. We must hold our government accountable - call your representatives, and flood social media demanding that congress take action against this threat to domestic health." At the bottom of the image, has the FBF logo and says, "Read the full response at: firedbutfighting.org/acip-statement."

June 9, 2025, Sec. Kennedy fired all of ACIP. Removing experts will make our children sicker, our country weaker, & cause deaths of adults & children.

We & professionals demand Sen. Cassidy & Congress impeach RFK Jr if he doesn’t resign. Congress must act to stop the threat to our health.

We hope you are coming to CDC main campus entrance from 2-5pm. Stand up for Science. Stand up for public health.

Stay tuned here for pics, stories, videos, and more.
If you post rally content, use hashtags #WeArePatriots #SaveCDC

Why should *everyone* be concerned that all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices were fired at the same time?
Because it's a slippery slope to losing our choice to protect our children and our families
💉 are one of the best tools to prevent disease. We need them available

The CDC is being gutted. Experts are being pushed out. Science - and people’s HEALTH - is under attack.

We can’t do this alone. We need voices, bodies, solidarity.

@jama.com got it right. When the Trump Administration laid off thousands of federal workers will cause long-term harm. Already, layoffs have caused public health agencies to be understaffed and disrupted scientific research. Read more: Read more: bit.ly/3SUdWwe
