RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development
The Department of Health and Human Services plans to cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.
In the midst of a pandemic, the Trump administration and the American public demanded a vaccine.
Scientists rose to the occasion, producing them and delivering them to the people in record time, saving the lives of 3.2 million Americans.
RFK Jr. has just ended all funding for these vaccines.

Conversely, my partner always thinks his blood pressure is good when itβs usually way too high.
I guess my point is that most of us has no clue whatβs happening in our bodies.

I thought I felt like my blood pressure was high, so I checked it and it was 108/69.
I like to think of myself as being so self-aware that I can recognize if my blood pressure is high, but clearly thatβs not the case. 1/

I know aging is a gift, but it can also be so cruel too. And it was so hard to witness the cruelty of it after 11+ years while simultaneously trying to hold space for the gift too.

But even with the very heavy emotional weight of everything, Iβm so glad they came to visit me. I know they wonβt be able to make that kind of trip again. And I know I need to visit them sooner rather than later.

My stepmom is 85 and was just diagnosed with dementia. I found this out a few days before the visit via a text from my sister. My dad never once mentioned it or told me directly.
And seeing my stepmomβs cognitive decline was heartbreaking and devastating.

My dad drove him and my stepmom from Illinois to Washington State to see me for my birthday. We hadnβt seen each other in over 11 years. I cried so much, but it definitely wasnβt all happy tears.

Iβm just forever blown away by hormones and how they affect us all. And how a virus can irrevocably eff up our hormones.

I know womenβs health isnβt a priority.
I also remember in 2021 when they said the covid vaccines could temporarily mess with a womanβs cycle. But the infection itself is absolutely causing many women to jumpstart menopause.

In the past couple of weeks Iβm seeing more posts on Reddit about hormones and covid, specifically the interconnections.
One post said HRT took away her Long Covid symptoms.
Another asked if Covid kickstarted perimenopause.

Three people in sky blue shirts and jeans climbing the steps of the US Capitol, including a young blonde girl wearing a red and white bandanna around her head and turning to look at the camera
Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

I don't think the average American grasps how concerned the average Canadian is about the annexation threat.
A lot of Americans are brushing it off a backburner ridiculous thing from Trump -- but here in Canada, our prime minister is literally telling us tariffs are part of an annexation plan.
