Infamously anti-vaccine ACIP Member and close @SecKennedy ally suggests Surgeon General nominee is concealing her true positions on vaccines to get through Senate confirmation...

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

At this point in time, anyone up for a Senate confirmed position in the Trump HHS who says publicly that they have any reservations about vaccines or the mRNA product will most likely not make it through confirmation.
So - all I can think is that the "medical freedom' influencers screaming because someone nominated for a position hasn't admitted publicly to being skeptical is controlled opposition or incredibly jealous because they themselves were not nominated. I could name names but choose not to.

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

As a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. The birth dose is a recommendation, NOT a mandate.

Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year were infected with hepatitis B. Now, it’s fewer than 20. Ending the recommendation for newborns makes it more likely the number of cases will begin to increase again. This makes America sicker.

Acting CDC Director O’Neill should not sign these new recommendations and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.

Another reason why you never want to waste a minute of a House majority.

But where, you may ask, will she get her hot dogs for lunch now?

[Henry Connelly @HenryVConnelly]

Even in richly-deserved retirement, I'll be surprised if she isn't still the hardest working person I know

Thank you, San Francisco.

There are about 86,000 ACA marketplace enrollees in MTG’s district. 57% of ACA enrollees are in Republican districts.

Not an exaggeration

Members said they were confused and one abstained because he said resolution was so unclear

Health officials reported the death of a Los Angeles County child from a rare complication of measles infection acquired during infancy. https://t.co/BRP2X1Ha25

Trump on Florida eliminating vaccine requirements: "It's a tough stance. You have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They're not controversial at all and I think those vaccines should be used. Otherwise some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people...I think people should take it."

The labor market is going from frozen to cracking.

Look at how many industries have LOST jobs in the past 3 months.

Mining -13,000
Construction -10,000
Manufacturing -31,000
Information -15,000
Business/Professional -51,000
Federal gov't -34,000
Finance 0 job gains

The US job market is almost entirely dependent on healthcare. That's not healthy for the economy.

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., asked if Kennedy still believed “the COVID vaccine was, quote, the deadliest vaccine ever made?”
In 2021, speaking before Louisiana lawmakers, Kennedy said data from the federal government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System “confirms” that the COVID-19 vaccine “is the deadliest vaccine ever made."
At that time, we rated his statement Pants on Fire. https://t.co/eM34CY1lNF

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

Kennedy says I’m wrong, but my wife literally went to get the vaccine and CVS could not give it to her.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

My wife has Stage 4 lung cancer. She is one of the people the COVID vaccine actually helps. Thanks to the current mess at HHS, CVS is unable to get her the vaccine. https://t.co/ZqCZwxwa57

! GOP Sen. Barrasso, who is a doctor, says he's "grown deeply concerned" about RFK's tenure at HHS

"I support vaccines. Vaccines save lives. If we're going to make America healthy again, we can't allow public health to be undermined."

[Peter Twinklage @PeterTwinklage]

truly incredible exchange just now

Cassidy: "Do you agree with me that President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed?"

RFK: "Absolutely."

Cassidy: "But you just told Sen. Bennet that the Covid vaccine killed more people than Covid?"
