What's happening at the CDC should frighten every American Regardless of whether you are MAGA, MAHA, neither, or don't give a damn about labels or politics. It's unclear whether the CDC director—confirmed just weeks ago—has been fired or not. Absolute shitshow. And incredible

CDC director Susan Monarez fired by Trump administration after refusing to resign, citing 'reckless directives' nbcnews.com/health/health-… via @nbcnews her crime, she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives”. Well done Dr. Monarez!

This falsely implies vaccine safety hasn't been extensively studied when COVID vaccines have been monitored through multiple overlapping surveillance systems for years, with hundreds of published studies. Malone's misuse of "efficacy" is telling: efficacy comes from clinical

A gastroenterologist senator and an ophthalmologist senator debating utility and efficacy of HBV vaccination … man I wish we had a panel of trusted epidemiology/infectious disease experts to answer these questions… oh wait

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…

Nine former CDC directors published a powerful op-ed about RFK Jr.‘s assault on America’s public health system. These are extraordinary public servants who made major sacrifices to protect Americans. I have tremendous respect for their courage. nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…

Florida will repeat what happened in West Texas (where immunization rates are low): 100 measles hospitalizations + 2 needless childhood deaths among the unvaccinated, pertussis will follow after that. All for health freedom propaganda, and lousy Fox News sound bites

To be clear none of the people Secretary Kennedy mentioned work in the National Center for Immunizaton and Respiratory Diseases at CDC. He has not been briefed by experts. Where is he getting his information on your health? Thanks Senator Ben Ray Luján for that important question.

#2 Dear FL, Without vaccine mandates, your vaccination rates will fall below the herd immunity thresholds for diseases. For example, measles is so highly contagious that 95% of people must be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. FL vacations will become dangerous for us. Love, GA

Louisiana is in its worst whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak in 35 years. 368 cases this year, including two infants who have died. Since last fall, 63 have been hospitalized, 65% infants. Most hospitalized were not up-to-date on vaccines. The DTaP/Tdap vaccines protect

Today’s ACIP meeting promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines. AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations. bit.ly/4puP4uf
