... 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."

Officials implored anyone who suspects they were exposed to the illness to call their health provider before visiting a medical care center or hospital.

"NJDOH is working in collaboration with local health officials on ongoing contact tracing and on efforts to notify people who might have been exposed and to identify additional exposures that may have occurred," officials said in the release.

The NJDOH said that anyone who is not fully vaccinated or has not contracted measles in the past are at risk. ...

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.

Then remove the liability shield from pharma companies for anyone/everyone who are injured by their products, and replace VAERS with something that actually works.

Also, make it law that any physician prescribing medication MUST first go over every known risk involved with the patient - in person.

"replace VAERS with something that actually works"

VAERS works very well already; it's the morons who can't follow their clear statements on their website who are the problem.

Them, and idiots who believe if they got a single vax and ultimately got Covid, that meant the vaccine doesn't work.

Now do this one, Kenny.

#16 Apparently, someone wants to completely destroy any further medical R&D in this country.

This is clearly another one of the ideas from whale-head sawing, dead bear carcass aficionado who is supposedly running America's health system.

What do you do for a follow-up act, Left Hind Turds?
