Having fired the 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee, Trump's "health" secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., begins replacing them with a notorious spreader of vaccine misinformation and a separate critic of the Covid vaccines that save so many lives. apnews.com/article/cdc-ac…

To replace the 17 vaccine advisers whom he fired, Trump's "health" secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., names "eight doctors and researchers, including four who have spoken out against vaccination in some way." That will Make America Sick Again. nytimes.com/2025/06/11/us/…

As Trump’s “health” secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, fills an advisory panel with anti-vaxxers, he may endanger children by discouraging parents from vaccinating them — all for his benighted ideology. nytimes.com/2025/06/13/hea…

Three of the new vaccine advisers appointed by Trump's "health" secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "took part in lawsuits casting doubt on the safety or efficacy of vaccines." He seems intent on endangering children to pursue his anti-vaccine vendetta. nytimes.com/2025/06/13/us/…

1000+ health-care workers have been killed in Gaza and 670 health facilities, ambulances & personnel attacked. The medical community has a moral/professional duty to speak out against these abuses, but only a quarter of US medical societies have done so. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Trump is letting his destructive ideology get in the way of public health, allowing urgently needed drugs to expire because he cancelled the program to deliver them. nytimes.com/video/opinion/…

A vaccine expert resigns from the @CDC, saying she could no longer continue while the “health” secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “dismantled the careful processes that help formulate vaccination standards in the United States,” endangering all children. nytimes.com/2025/06/18/hea…

Twenty-five years after measles was officially declared eliminated from the United States, it has returned with a vengeance, thanks to anti-vaxxers like Trump’s “health” secretary. “About one in five unvaccinated people with measles will be hospitalized." nytimes.com/2025/06/22/us/…

Tehran. After 3am. Israel is bombing all over district 6 & 7 of Tehran. Home to 600,000, the area houses the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, which has the largest collection of Francis Bacon paintings in the world. The area is also home to many governmental buildings.

As Trump's anti-vaxxer "health" secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, makes the U.S. government an unreliable source on vaccines, plans are underway to circumvent Washington's benighted ideologues. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/06…

Just because some right-wing figures have endorsed the view that the Covid-19 pandemic began with a leak from a Chinese government lab in Wuhan doesn’t mean that that view isn’t true. There is no evidence that COV2 came from animal hosts in the wet market. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A new drug that gives almost complete protection against the HIV virus was to be administered across Africa this year. Now, much of the funding for that effort is gone thanks to Trump's callous budget cuts (to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy). nytimes.com/2025/06/25/hea…

Only in the benighted mind of Trump's "heath" secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is it somehow "science" to let children die of preventable diseases rather than vaccinate them. He is cutting funding to GAVI, the main international vaccination agency. nytimes.com/2025/06/25/hea…

By one estimate, covid vaccines averted 18.5M hospitalizations and 3.2M deaths in America in two years. Trump wisely got himself jabbed. So why is he now letting his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, dismantle the country’s vaccine-making ecosystem? economist.com/leaders/2025/0…

"Before widespread vaccination…, infectious diseases ran rampant in America, killing millions of children...the main reason why nearly 1 in 5 children in 1900 never made it to their 5th birthday." Trump's "health" secretary wants to return to those days. apnews.com/article/vaccin…

Trump administration just lifted sanctions on several Russian banks close to Putin. Right after the biggest Russian air assault on Ukraine since the war began. Was it meant to sting extra? Because it does.

Trump's "health" secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will Make America More Unhealthy by terminating thousands of grants for pandemic prevention, and research grants related to cancer, vaccines and chronic diseases. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

In December, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya walked down the middle of a road and made his way toward Israeli tanks. That is the last time the director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza was seen before he was taken into custody by Israeli soldiers. nbcnews.com/world/middle-e…

As Trump's "health" secretary unleashes his anti-vaccination ideology, "America risks unraveling the infrastructure that keeps children…without polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, bacterial meningitis and…other horrors." nytimes.com/2025/07/04/opi…
