I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
RFK Jr. is a disgrace.
Denmark and Greenland have health care coverage for all that is affordable. (Unlike the US).

HHS cancels &500 million in mRNA research, a $600 million contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, narrowed criteria on who should get the mRNA COVID vaccine, and now refuses to review a completed study of a mRNA flu vaccine. If you were trying to kill a technology, and a company, this is what you would do.

Measles is preventable with a safe vaccine that has been available for years.
Are their memories so short? I haven’t forgotten the pandemic and all those who died before the vaccines became available. I’m grateful for our vaccines

It is terrifying that measles is spreading among children held in US concentration camps.
This is not a policy debate — it is an immediate threat to children’s lives.
Measles can cause encephalitis (brain swelling), brain damage, and respiratory failure in children.

People with ACA health insurance just saw prices surge and many switched to plans with high deductibles and health savings accounts. If that's you, what do you wish you knew about how your plan works? n.pr/3ZCyOeW
Measles is preventable.
We’ve said it before, and here we are again. Mass detention + privatized cost controls + infectious disease = a public health nightmare--one that harms detainees and puts us all at risk.
Some anti-vaxeers think polio isn’t a big deal.
In the US 1950s, it caused ~20,000 cases of paralysis per year. Iron lungs, crutches, and braces were everyday sites.
The Trump administration wants us back in the 1950s. We can’t forget what that means.

Vaccines save lives
Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
