Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended required federal tracking of a parasite called cyclospora, and a year later it has torn through more than 11,000 Americans across 41 states. It has you running to the bathroom floor for weeks at a time. Not days. Weeks. Untreated, it can run a month or longer. And it fakes you out. The symptoms lift, you go back to work, and then they come back. Most labs will not even find the thing. A routine test misses cyclospora completely. Catching it takes a PCR test that a doctor has to know to order. So 11,000 is the floor. Nobody in America knows the real number. Senator Jon Ossoff wrote to Kennedy on July 16 with one question. Why did you stop counting. He gave him 72 hours. Kennedy said nothing, so Ossoff wrote again and called it a "foolish and self-indulgent demolition" of public health programs. The FDA still cannot say what made anyone sick. Investigators followed shredded iceberg lettuce from a plant in central Mexico to Taco Bell counters in five states. One sample came back positive, and then the agency admitted the positive was its own lab error. The rule that would have forced companies to hand over their supply chain records within 24 hours was pushed back to 2028. Kennedy walked up to a microphone Tuesday and said the outbreak is "under control." He said criticism of his cuts is "invalid," because what he removed was "redundant surveillance." At least 98 people have been hospitalized. Thousands more are counting the days between relapses. Kennedy's word for that is control.

🚨 BREAKING: Florida Scraps School Vaccine Rules — Disease Cases Now Spiking Florida has eliminated all school vaccine mandates — and public health experts say the fallout is already underway. * Measles cases up 340% since January [1] * Vaccination rates dropping across school districts [2] * Doctors warn schools are becoming “incubators” for preventable diseases [3] Hospitals are now reporting clusters of measles, whooping cough, and COVID among unvaccinated kids. “This is something we haven’t seen in decades,” one pediatric specialist said. Meanwhile, Florida’s tourism economy is turning local outbreaks into a national export problem, with visitors potentially carrying infections back across the U.S. [4] Even more alarming: some areas have childhood vaccination rates below 70%, raising concerns about diseases like polio re-emerging. Public health officials are now warning this could spiral fast if trends continue. Translation: Remove safeguards → drop vaccination → diseases come roaring back. Not complicated. Just dangerous.

To all the imbeciles cheering on RFK Jr. scrapping the Hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns, the vaccine is considered one of the safest vaccines ever developed, with over 40 years of global use and billions of doses administered. Since newborns began getting the Hepatitis B vaccine in 1991, we’ve seen a 99% reduction in pediatric infections Hepatitis B can pass from mother to baby during delivery, even if the mother didn’t know she was infected. If a newborn gets Hep B, they have a 90% chance of developing chronic lifelong infection. Adults only have about a 5% chance. So babies are far more vulnerable, and the consequences are much more severe. You are all literally making kids sick.
