More unbelievable #gaslighting:

#JDVance made the argument that #Trump is “a genuine humanitarian,” & said “he just wants the killing to stop.”

These employees helped bolster the confidence in the safety & effectiveness of #vaccines, they said.

Make America great again - bring back measles, TB and pandemics. Decimate public health research, reporting and programs including #Medicaid - what a great idea s/

“TB has moved closer to home: An ongoing outbreak in Kansas City, Kansas, and two surrounding counties began in January 2024 and cases are rising, with nearly 150 people diagnosed and two deaths as of early March.

Overheard today: a woman could scarcely stop coughing. An acquaintance asked if she was okay, and she said it just seemed like she was sick all the time these days.

Please, if you're reading this, be aware that Covid damages your immune system and makes you more vulnerable to diseases. Now consider that with measles, one of the most infectious diseases ever, going around. Measles erases immunity - it's like starting over.
