Laguna Beach Democratic ClubRFK Jr., Trump’s vaccine-skeptic health chief, fired all 17 CDC vaccine advisers. The result is here: 2,288 measles cases in 2025, the most since 1992, plus a deadly whooping cough surge killing infants. Kids pay for anti-vax politics. #VaccinesWork
Facts: More than 1.2 million Americans died of COVID. The CDC found the unvaccinated were about 10 times more likely to die than the vaccinated, and more likely to suffer long COVID. Highest vaccination rates, all blue states. Lowest, all red. #RedCovid #VaccinesWork

COVID-19 vaccine study is finally published after CDC journal blocked it
A study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness has been published after being blocked from a government health journal. The study in by JAMA Network Open shows the vaccine is about 55% effective against hospitalizations and reduces emergency visits by 50%. The findings aren't surprising, as the vaccines have been proven to be effective. The paper gained attention after Trump administration appointees rejected it for publication in a CDC journal, citing design flaws. A number of researchers have defended the study's design, saying it's reliable and widely used. The study uses a “test-negative design” to compare the COVID-19 test results of vaccinated and unvaccinated patients.

"The outbreak comes just weeks after the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, ended mandatory flu vaccination for the military, citing the need for bodily autonomy for servicemembers."
🤔 "bodily autonomy" 🤔 — Isn't that what women want — sensibly — and what this regime and SCOTUS supermajority want to deny them? But go ahead, ditch vaccine mandates for soldiers in close quarters. 🙄

Measles is back at record levels. Meanwhile the nation’s top health official, RFK Jr. a lifelong anti-vaccine activist, fired all 17 federal vaccine experts and let the CDC drop its universal recommendation for seven childhood vaccines. This is not an accident. It is a policy. #VaccinesWork
