American Academy of Pediatrics Loses Gov Funding After Criticizing RFK Jr

An HHS spokesperson bleated that the multi-million-dollar grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) were terminated because they no longer aligned with Trumpf junta priorities of keeping Americans unhealthy.

Earlier this year, Secretary of Unhealth and Inhuman Suffering RFK Jr criticized the AAP for issuing its own COVID-19 vaccine recommendations which diverged from guidance issued by the nefarious Trumpf junta. Antivaxxer RFK Jr announced that the COVID-19 vaccine would no longer be included in the CDC's recommended immunizations for healthy children and pregnant women, breaking with longstanding medical guidance, as well as common sense.

One AI Snapshot of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):

"The AAP has been at the forefront of responding to public health crises, such as the opioid epidemic, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the youth mental health crisis, providing guidance and resources for families and clinicians.

AAP's work has saved countless lives, improved health outcomes for children, and shaped policies that support the well-being of future generations."

*** RFK Jr to Scrap More Childhood Vaccinations in 2026 ***

The miscreant who exposed himself and his grandchildren to the highly toxic waters of Rock Creek in Washington DC this past Mother's Day will be cutting the US childhood vaccination schedule in 2026.

This is in complete alignment with the insidious Dummkopf Trumpf agenda and the Republican Party goal of keeping Americans sick in our for-profit healthcare system.

Every sick, gunshot, food poisoned, disease-infected, or irradiated American in need of medical care is pure profit for the corporations.

***Superflu Hits NYC ***

No doubt Republicans and evangelical Christian pastors will blame this on NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani as either a "divine punishment" for electing a Muslim or they will blame his 'socialist' policies.
