Platforming this kind of negligent policy at the highest levels of our public health system, quite simply, kills Americans.
We won't leave our families and kids to be collateral in their fight to bring back preventable disease.

ACIP CHAIRβS COMMENTS β The head of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.βs panel of independent vaccine advisers recently questioned the necessity of the polio vaccine β spurring a sharp backlash from Democrats and public health experts. βAs you look at polio, we need to not be afraid to consider that we are in a different time now than we were then,β said Kirk Milhoan, chair of the CDCβs Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, on the podcast βWhy Should I Trust You?β βOur sanitation is different, our risk of disease is different, and so those all play into the evaluation of whether this is worthwhile of taking a risk for a vaccine or not,β Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist and a senior fellow at the anti-mRNA Independent Medical Alliance, added. Milhoan also said that βwe have to take into accountβ whether the U.S. is enjoying herd immunity, and whether the disease burden could go up βif we take away all of the herd immunity.β Key context: Before the polio vaccine became available in 1955, roughly 16,000 polio cases occurred each year in the U.S., often paralyzing children. If polio vaccination rates dip, the U.S. could see the return of a disease that once caused widespread fear in America, critics of Kennedyβs advisory panel warn.
We can't believe we have to say this, but POLIO IS REALLY BAD.
RFK Jr.'s "independent" "expert" ACIP is destroying the foundations of our public health system.
It cannot be clearer: if we want to save lives, we have to #RemoveRFKJr.

This trial is all shades of unethical - and par for the course for a HHS that could not care less about killing people while they pursue anti-scientific ends.
An HHS with RFK Jr at its head will be unethical. It's time we removed him. Take action with us at standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr
Pretty illuminating that while HHS is trying to do this unethical experiment on Africans, they're also treating its health institutions with utter disrespect.

Headline screenshot: A massive winter storm will hit large parts of the US through the weekend.

Republicans in Congress are shutting down NCAR. The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO, is home to scientists that track and forecast our weather. They maintain large-scale models, collect data, and accurately pinpoint when dangerous weather conditions start to develop. Picture of two scientists looking at a monitor.
As weather becomes more extreme, accurate forecasts mean better preparation. Better preparation can mean the difference between saving people's lives, or stranding them. If Congress shuts down NCAR, we will be flying blind. Take Action to #SaveNCAR tr.ee/save-ncar
