CBS News Miami reporter Jim DeFede EXPOSES Ashley Moody

Jim plays audio from a rare interview Moody gave this week on the radio and comments:

"That is what is commonly referred to as WORD SALAD. I'm not sure what she said, but I am certain she never answered Manny's question.

So, his question remains. What did Ashley Moody know and when did she know it?"

A reminder that we don’t vaccinate just to protect ourselves. We also vaccinate for:

- Immunocompromised people
- Older adults
- Infants too young to be vaccinated

We vaccinate for people we love, people we will never meet, people whose protection depends in part on us.

Asked by a Texas voter what legislation he'd introduce to combat rising costs, Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico recalled finding out he has Type 1 diabetes and his shock at the cost of insulin. "I want to roll back the cuts to the Affordable Care Act... I believe that health care is a human right."

Families like mine rely on the medical research being done at the NIH. Visiting their campus today gave me hope that a cure for Alzheimer's is possible.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

The U.S. is facing its largest measles outbreak in decades, with cases rising in neighboring states. And instead of helping stop the spread, the Trump Administration continues to sow confusion and misinformation about vaccines.

Here in New Jersey, we're following the science and working with local health departments to monitor outbreaks in neighboring states and bring vaccination clinics directly into our communities.

Measles is highly contagious and can cause serious illness, but two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective at preventing infection.

Talking to you in diners around NJ is one of my favorite things to do. You're my boss and it's important I hear what's on your mind.

Today, I visited Falcon Diner in Brooklawn to speak with parents about something that's always on their minds: their kids.

I'm looking forward to sharing our conversation about my MediKids proposal, and what guaranteed healthcare for every child in America would mean for our families.

Not only is the health, education, well-being, safety, and lives of children being threatened by some politicians, but the educators, child care workers, librarians, social workers, and pediatricians, who educate and care for children, are being attacked and threatened. (2)

When it comes to care in this country, the status quo is not working. That's why I introduced MediKids, guaranteed healthcare for every child in America.

It was great to join healthcare experts, advocates, and policymakers at the @SIEPR Forum to discuss my vision for the future of healthcare and how we push forward a universal care agenda that takes care of our kids, seniors, and everyone in between.

In new guidance, the American Academy of Pediatrics says unpasteurized dairy is unsafe and offers no proven health benefits.

They are calling for a ban on the sale and distribution of it. https://t.co/p9YFVxKdYF
