... Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr wrote in a post on the social media platform X: "Government bureaucracies should never coerce doctors or families into accepting vaccines or penalize physicians for respecting patient choice."

He added: "That practice ends now. Under the Trump administration, HHS will protect informed consent, respect religious liberty, and uphold medical freedom."

Why It Matters

The move follows a series of others made by the Trump administration against the recommendation of vaccines. ...

Congress should now pass a law that if your unvaxxed kid gives a vaxx preventable disease to another kid, you are criminal and/or civilly liable for that outcome.

If it's really freedom, then you should be ok with suffering consequences of your "freedom."

JFK Jr. has been on a war against vaccines. You know there can only be one result of his 'wins' which is the nation as a whole gets sicker.

Measles has shown up in the US and was once considered eradiated. The New Year brings the loss of that elimination and once again measles is starting to be rampant in the US. It's as much the war on vaccines as it is people believing they have the right to deny their children getting those vaccines before their kids return to school. The herd immunity has dropped below the threshold needed to protect the population as a whole.

Because the economy is in such a mess when it comes to affording the basics of life, two working parents can not afford to miss a day on the needed wages just to survive so they will show up for work, healthy or not. This means your co-workers will spread to you what ever is going around you haven't had yet.

Thank you MAHA, your generosity knows no bounds in spreading the cheer. /s

The GOP is a Death To Children Cult.

Children may be Lewzers on the Elite's Agenda... I mean, children aren't a priority numbers-wise when AI Robots will make them Redundant as Workers; who needs them?

Elites like Musk have several wives and a dozen or so children to preserve the 'right' genes.

And as soon as consciousness can be transferred into the Bots, the Elites won't even need children of their own.

(Obviously it goes without saying that this is the Boomer's Fault, as they created chips. Not Tostidos, the other kind.)

Republicans ask why fewer and fewer Americans are having kids.

Hey Republicans, it's because Republicans are making it harder and harder to have kids.

How about instead of trying to find a nonexistent link between vaccines and autism we search for and cure the root causes of malignant narcissism, which causes FAR more damage.

I think there is a link with large inheritances-we should outlaw them.
