Another C.D.C. Vaccine Skeptic Steps Down

“His departure thins the ranks of vaccine skeptics at the agency’s helm, a sign of the administration’s pivot away from the agenda pursued thus far by Health Secretary RFK Jr and his appointees” — if truly serious to undo this, must remove the source from government www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/h...

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

BASH: Oh, come on

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

At about 8:40 AM eastern I’ll be discussing vaccine policy on @cnn.com with @katebolduan.bsky.social

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC THE MAYOR IS LISTENING

On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Ugh

#COVID #vaccines don't just prevent severe initial illness, they greatly reduce the risk of #LongCovid. #RFKJr has now made getting vaccinated much more difficult for tens of millions. When do we stop this man's killing spree? https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19vaccine/117238

‘Sleeping’ cancer cells in the lungs can be roused by COVID and flu Inflammation from the respiratory infections seems to be the culprit, study in mice finds.

If you’ve had cancer and are in remission, you need to protect yourself against Covid & other viruses. There’s now evidence infections can reawaken dormant cancer cells in the body. Wear an N95 mask & clean the air. Take air purifier to work, ask HCWs to N95. I asked my dentist who gladly wore N95 😷

Covid is rising. New vaccines may not be ready until mid-September. Updated coronavirus vaccines may not be available until mid-September, and people who are not considered high risk may not be able to access them.

gift article. Comments are still full of MAGA antivaxxer's blathering nonsense and displaying their ignorance.
