FYI: #CDC director Mehmet Oz has a financial stake in the company #iHerb which sells: folinic acid supplements (folinic acid = #leucovorin)

The disinformation about #Tylenol, autism, and this β€œtreatment” are ALL part of their grift.οΏΌ

#RFKJr claimed Americans were healthier in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check:

In 1965:
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; now it’s 5.6/1000
-Life expectancy was 70 years; now it's ~77 years

-Death rates from heart attacks have decreased by >80% since 1970

-Here's a reminder of the science behind #vaccine development- in this case the Pfizer's mRNA COVID vax

-Over 40,000 individuals were studied: 1/2 with vaccine & 1/2 with placebo (shot without vaccine)

-By 2 weeks, the vaccinated group were 95% protected from getting Covid!

Exclusive: Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call forΒ retraction of vaccine study An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

#RFKJr today: "Doctors profit by keeping Americans sick."

- Declaring war on science is keeping Americans sick

- Destroying our healthcare infrastructure is keeping Americans sick

- Demonizing our healthcare professionals is keeping Americans sick

-We must remove RFK Jr.

The White House wanted to cut the #CDC by over 50%. Today the Senate passed a bipartisan bill through committee rejecting those cuts.

-Trump’s #budget bill will lead to:

-The closing of 1 in 4 #nursing-homes

-Many rural #hospitals will have to close

-Urban hospitals' cost will ⬆️

-Private insurance rates will ⬆️ (for all of us) to cover ⬆️ hospital costs

-This affects all of us (red & blue)

-A family in Texas had to pay $1400 for the measles vaccine.

-When #vaccines are no longer recommended by the #CDC, many will face the decision to pay thousands out-of-pocket or forgo vaccination.

-Medicaid cuts will affect all of us (continued)!

5. Hosps have to stay open, so they have to make up $ somewhere else
6. So, they ⬆️ costs for private payers, cut wages, cut services
7. We get: ⬆️ waits & cost; worse care & outcomes
8. Also 63% of nursing home pts are on #Medicaid

- #Medicaid cuts will affect all of us!

1. Most hospitals & clinics have 50-90% medicaid pts
2. Gutting Medicaid = hosps & clinics lose 50-90% of their $
3. People w/o insurance STILL NEED MEDICAL CARE

-Don't know who needs to hear this, but human blood always has detectable levels of aluminum, mercury & formaldehyde

-The first 2 are found in foods we eat & excreted

-The 3rd is necessary for DNA synthesis
