NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*

Illegal dumping grounds off the New Jersey turnpike across from Manhattan in the 1970s

Smog rolling on over Manhattan in the 1970s

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA.

Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

Question people who claim to care about the mental and physical health of this country, but refuse to speak to and fight against the policies that are removing access to medical care, nutrition and wellbeing.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

How measles causes the body to ‘forget' past infections by other microbes With measles cases rising around the world, studies showing it causes immune amnesia underscore the importance of widespread vaccination

This is horrifying for unvaccinated people, especially kids who rely on their parent/guardian to protect them.

Risk of death increases, as measles wipes out immunity. The system forgets past pathogen exposure and has to relearn what viruses/bacteria are good/bad.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

There goes our nation’s health & safety. Despite having a grifter in charge of DHHS, we must commit to debunking, maintaining scientific integrity and protecting the most vulnerable.

Pathogens don’t care about seed oils & expensive supplements. We MUST prioritize public health & infectious disease control. RFK Jr is a threat.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

The ableism among the anti-vax community is important to call out; the idea that a child dying of a preventable disease is more acceptable than a child with autism. This rhetoric is harmful, along with the persistently inaccurate narrative that vaccines cause autism.

800 doctors submitted a letter of support for RFK Jr’s HHS secretary nomination.

It turns out most signatories weren’t real doctors, or were doctors who had their licenses revoked or suspended.

Using fake experts to create an illusion of credibility is a classic anti-vax tactic.
