Value of Medicines Special Report: No answers for future value - PharmaLive It is unknown how the Trump administration will handle drug pricing and concepts of value, but some fear the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of HHS may bring the value of vaccines into qu...

Now that Kennedy’s handpicked vaccines panel eliminated Hep B vaccines for infants, pray you’re in a state whose vaccines board will still recommend the shot. Otherwise you will be SOL. I felt like Cassandra back in February with this article: www.pharmalive.com/value-of-med...

A brand new The Dispatches From Appalachia is out now! In 1921 over 100 West Virginia coal miners, many of them immigrants, were jailed without fair trails or due process. This is the story of what came of that and the stain it left on the soul of our people.

I always think it is a trip that for years, in X-men, Xavier was presented as the good guy...

...and real life outside of comic books made Magneto the hero and no amount of effort by any creator can change the fact that 'Xavier era' X-men doesn't resonate like Magneto Era X-men.

Magneto Was Right

So I wonder who HHS/RFK Jr. wants to offer contracts. Without the review of public commentary (which let’s face it, it’s mostly the press, healthcare industry people, and law experts reviewing these decisions) HHS will reach new highs of bureaucratic opaqueness.

Measles alert issued in New Jersey after cases confirmed in Bergen County A measles alert was issued by the New Jersey Department of Health amid three cases of the highly-contagious virus in Bergen County.

RFK Jr. is eliminating transparency and public engagement on important HHS decisions that has been in place since 1971.

democrats—resist the urge to look at these people and say “oh you are very stupid” and instead say, “here is a voter who looked at biden and kamala and saw no solutions for the most pressing problems in their life.”

how do you fix that? bold rhetoric and action to back it up. and better propaganda.

So, for those following along - they’ve now suspended emergency services. Water is up big time in Betsy Layne and Pikeville.

Peoples homes are destroyed, cars washed away, and we won’t be able to see the cost in lives and damage till after the water recedes.

Lots of folks without power, lots of folks soaked, and temp is quickly dropping.

Water is over the four lane and many of the back roads…and theyve announced the water treatment plants have stopped working
