-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!

-Trumpβs #budget bill will lead to:
-The closing of 1 in 4 #nursing-homes
-Many rural #hospitals will have to close

-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 β¬οΈ costs for private payers, cut wages, cut services
7. We get: β¬οΈ 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
