This op-ed from NIH director Jay Bhattacharya is *infuriating*. He says we have to stop funding mRNA vaccine research because it hasn't "earned public trust." Motherfucker, WHO DID THAT.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

While we are cutting costs it’s pretty clear that all of the Republicans in Congress could be very inexpensively replaced
Rep. Nick Begich (R-Alaska) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop DOGE layoffs affecting people in his state. Says said he found out about budget cuts impacting Alaska "on Twitter" and "had no idea these things were going on" in advance. popular.info/p/freshman-c...

RFK Jr. visited Samoa in June 2019, meeting with the anti-vaxers there....by November 2019, the island nation saw a widespread measles outbreak, with thousands infected and more than eighty dead by the end of the year, mostly children.

In 2019, the population of Samoa was 200,874. Because of RFK Jr, they had 5,700 cases of measles and 83 deaths. If you scale that up to the US population of 335 million, that would be over 9 million cases and more than 134,000 deaths — many of them children. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Sa...
