I would not have guessed my closing argument this election cycle would be *polio is bad* but here we are.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up

17 dedicated doctors, pediatricians, scientists, and parents who served on the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) were just fired by Secretary Kennedy based on false claims of conflicts of interest – a dangerous and unprecedented action that makes our families

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

RFK Jr just fired every member of the Advisory Committee on Immunizations. The voices of science and research were just shown the door to be replaced by conspiracy theories and disinformation. Make no mistake. This is catastrophic.

RFK needs to stop lying and making things up:

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Fox News might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

Our health care system for children in the United States is a giant house of cards. Medicaid is the base of that house of cards. If Congress destroys Medicaid with the "Big, Beautiful Bill," the entire house, including our nation's children's hospitals, comes crashing down.

Reminder RFK Jr claimed the HPV vaccine causes cancer when in fact it prevents it It's so effective that cervical cancer is on the way to being ELIMINATED in countries with high HPV vaccine uptake. RFK Jr is against that.

I would just like them to have affordable prescription drugs and access to a primary care doctor. 🤷‍♀️

New ACIP members making stuff up and ignoring real science. Right on brand:

BREAKING: Secretary Kennedy just cut U.S. funding to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the alliance that has vaccinated over 1 billion children and prevented more than 17 million deaths since 2000. This isn’t about science. It’s about dangerous ideology overriding children’s lives. The consequences will be

Terrible but totally predictable Secretary Kennedy decides the US will renege on its pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Gavi helps poor kids around the world get vaccinated against polio and measles and other life threatening diseases This is just mind bogglingly awful nytimes.com/2025/06/25/hea…

The cruelty keeps building from this administration toward children around the world:

RFK Jr. is threatening the routine childhood immunization schedule. This is bad. Pay attention. Get loud. Stay loud. *and elect better Senators

JUST NOW: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill: “They’re adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. They’re going to blow a hole in every state’s budget with what they’re doing to SNAP. They’re going to fire a ton of healthcare workers. They’re

Laughing. In front of a cage, under a tent, in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by alligators - where they plan to hold HUMAN BEINGS whose only crime was crossing a border in search of a better life for their family. These are the darkest of days. Please - it is OK to say

The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence.

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths. And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

Thanks for setting him straight, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.. It’s the least you could do after you let us all down by opening up the floodgates for this disaster of a DHHS secretary.
