The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.”

It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide.

It’s perfectly fine as it is.

Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

CDC cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health Members of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service were warned Friday that many of them were about to be fired

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades.
Envy of the world. Poof!

Doctors opposing RFK Jr. rally in the lead-up to his confirmation Many health professionals are lining up against Trump's pick for health secretary. They say his anti-vaccine views could cost lives. Some of his supporters embrace his stance.

In the dead of night, an executive order slashing Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, funding for research, and other federally funded programs, was announced.

Elected officials and institutions who have not released statements to fight back: YOUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING.

He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. MLK Jr.

When kindness becomes a habit, it improves our health Whether it's volunteering at a local school or taking soup to a sick neighbor, improving the welfare of others can also improve our own physical and mental health, a sizable body of research shows.
