I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

What the Waltons have done to Bentonville, AK is fascinating. I grew up with a vacation house down there. It’s become an artistic, outdoorsy haven. Curious to see how the medical school plays out.

We cannot continue to just “wait and see” with this. This moment requires a fast and overwhelming response from all healthcare organizations & professionals. We cannot practice safe medicine when a conspiracy theorist takes over and upends our vital institutions.

I loved it. I think they wrote and produced it to be sensitive to the multiple contemporary challenges in healthcare. I hope it makes doctors and nurses cool again (after some really rough years in the public eye)!!

RFK says most vaccine advisers have conflicts of interest. A report shows they don't The Health Secretary's assertion inaccurately characterizes the 2009 government report he cites, according to an NPR review and interviews with former committee members.

#RFKJr "pledged to purge conflicts of interest from the government agencies he's now in charge of..."

...coming from the guy running the HHS and his organization that profits from antivax propaganda does not instill confidence.

This is the worst timeline.
