The US does not have a universal single-payer healthcare system. Statements by health authorities greatly influence vaccine access because dropping vaccine recommendations give insurance companies an excuse not to cover them. Vaccines are not accessible if you canโ€™t afford them.

Half-million children could die if U.S. AIDS relief dropped, study says - UPI.com Nearly a half-million children could die from AIDS by 2030 if President Donald Trump follows through on plans to cut U.S. relief programs, a new study says.

As many as 1 million additional children will become infected with HIV and nearly 500,000 will die from AIDS by the end of the decade if Trump administrations Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is suspended or only receives limited, short-term funding.

A mural of Anthony Fauci was meant to inspire staff. Then NIH took it down. Five years after the coronavirus pandemic began, Trump officials continue to blame Fauci for missteps โ€” and are minimizing his presence on his old campus.

Iโ€™m fuming. I saw Dr Fauci speak in the 80โ€™s about HIV and he led the fight for decades! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump has violated the Hatch Act in the first administration and now he has today by schilling for Teslaโ€™s at the White House. Itโ€™s time for the 25th amendment before he drives this country into the ground, and we lose whatever remaining allies we still have.
