BroadwaybabytoI lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.
My grandmother also died from it at 53.
When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying.
She said she hated knowing that her girls were going to grow up without a mom.
She wasn’t afraid of dying, but she was afraid of leaving us behind.
She was sad that she would miss major milestones like graduations, marriage, grandchildren etc.
She wanted more time.
Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is quick and lethal.
It’s almost always caught too late, and few people live more than a year after diagnosis.
My Mom made it nine months.
I’m forever grateful for the time we had together and the fact that she prepared me for her passing. But I wanted more
The mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine was a beacon of hope for my family.
It was hope for so many whose lives have been touched by this deadly disease. Who’ve lost loved ones.
Who live with the fear of being diagnosed themselves.
There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.
His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people. Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.
Now he’s basically siding with cancer.
We deserve better than this.
We deserve an HHS leader who actually believes in science.
We deserve leaders who promote life saving interventions, robust public health and cutting edge research.
Shame on him and everyone who supports him.
KnowAttitude@grammasaurus You can write or call your Senators and Congressperson.
Here's a message I sent mine - "RFK Jr. has been making decisions that create threats to the health of all - threats to public health.
Most of them have to do with vaccines.
He's a quack, to use the vernacular.
He's got to go.
Please use whatever tools are available to you when you have the opportunity to build pressure
that will force him out of our government.

swtyndall.notwhatwethinkA real question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’
THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:
That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/)
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...)

An #AirForce [#USAF]spox told AP that “although service members with 15 to 18 years of HONORABLE service were permitted to apply for an exception to policy, none of the exceptions to policy were approved.”

Betty C. JungThe email called the liaison members special interest groups that are expected to be biased based on the constituencies they represent.
The liaison groups include organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
