A friend of mine sent me these photos of a raid they're witnessing in Wilder, ID. They said "Helicopters, paramilitary vehicles, and likely over a hundred officers are on site of a horse racing facility. Dogs searching cornfields and surrounding property."

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me β€” that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them β€” and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

Sadly it's easier to get someone to do nothing than it is to get them to do something.
Once these diseases come back and parents see how sick children get with VPDs, they'll vaccinate but kids will be hospitalized/die during that period.

I am watching the meeting- this is unequivocally the purpose. It beggars belief that the ACIP could be composed of such thoroughly unqualified ideologues but here we are.

Sadly I will because I never got to play 2 and I've been waiting for the re-release of both for a decade 😭 My 7 yo is going to be pumped.

The posts about @JeramiahDickey and the family of Charlie Kirk are fake - AI slop using tragedy to mine attention, clicks, and money.

I love the passion. If she wrote that on company time though let's talk about, instead of writing this, she could have used her time better to manage her job responsibilities.

I still recommend you get it. Pharmacies make it really easy to get it. Pediatricians office are amazing. Or you can make an appointment to get it from my clinic (208-338-8900).

Vaccines are one of the greatest inventions in human history. The flu shot is important. It protects the very young and old from complications like pneumonia, respiratory failure, rhabdomyolysis, hospitalizations, and death.

I can't do that; what all of this is required and do my primary care nurse practitioner responsibilities as well. I truly am sorry.

I'd pause my primary business and do flu shots 7 days a week during September and October. I have told my family, "Farmers don't go on vacation during harvest, and I don't go on vacation during flu shots!"

I now work in an office in the mornings and house calls in the afternoon for urgent care. In the past, I would spend all August, every night when I'd get home, prepping the website to create a way to book an appointment, fill out a form, and provide desired times and days for all areas of the valley

"But Brad, you're in the pocket of Big Pharma! You make so much money from them. My insurance paid you $45 for my shot". While some do pay well, a lot do not, and each year their rates went down.

Combine that with decreased reimbursement from various insurance companies made it incredibly challenging. Tricare reimbursed per shot $9. Each vaccine cost me $18! For every Tricare I lost, $9.

I ended up giving 100 the first year. 250 in 2017, 500 in 2018, 1000 in 2019! Last year, I heard from a lot of people that they wanted the flu and COVID booster at the same time, so my demand was way down.

I started offering mobile flu shots in the fall of 2016. I ordered 50 shots. It cost me about $600. I wasn't sure anyone knew about me, and it was a gamble. If you don't give them, they expire within a few months. You can return 10% of your original order, but you have to preorder the previous March

I won't be able to offer mobile flu vaccines this year. I am truly sorry. Thread on why (if you care)

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director β€” after only a few weeks on the job β€” for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Two people called my office and said they don't want to see me anymore for primary care. Reasons: 1) I was too tall 2) I don't like chiropractors.

Forcing vaccines off the market is the whole idea, as RFK Jr. has been rabidly antivax for two decades. Forcing shots off the market has *always* been the whole idea. We warned you. You didn't listen. www.cnn.com/2025/08/18/h...

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...
