“‘Vaccines don’t cause autism’ has never been proven.” Correct, because that’s not how science works. If I say “sunning your perineum twice per day increases your IQ by 10 points” you would say, “prove it.” The burden of proof is on me, the person with a tanned perineum. If I
RFK Jr. just broke down to a college student that the claim “vaccines don’t cause autism” has never been proven. “The people who told you that have been lying to you.“ “In fact, only one vaccine has ever been studied, the MMR vaccine.” “The 20 doses of the seven vaccines that

One of the problems with healthcare coverage in US vs other wealthy countries is others view it as a societal good that all should have access to and all benefit from… whereas we in U.S. view it as a consumer product that only some have have “earned” or deserve access to. 😞
When a WI woman asked Sen Johnson what options she'd have without the ACA if she tested positive for the genetic pre-existing condition that killed her mom, he said he would force her back into the high-risk pools that made anyone with pre-existing conditions pay double for care.

I always question how much better my father’s life, and thus mine and my children’s lives, could be if my grandmother had been protected from rubella with the MMR vaccine, preventing my father’s significant deafness . It wasn’t available back then… But it is now!!! #VaccinesWork

There are many reasons to be frustrated by the call to split up the #mmr #vaccine, but I especially fear people would choose to skip parts— with rubella (aka R of mmr), the virus that decimated my father’s hearing in utero, as one least known to the public and likely dropped…
So it would be a situation in which the federal government is telling the companies to do something which is both unsafe and unethical: the new the core values of MAHA

When you prescribe any med, make it a point to ask about that med at follow-up visits. Did you finish all of that antibiotic, or did you keep some on a shelf somewhere? How is the iron supplement going, and is it safely stored? How did you dispose of the rest of that Zofran? Etc

It might sound funny but… get down on your knees and look around your house, from a kid’s perspective. Electrical sockets at eye-level… easy access to cabinets under the sinks…and when did this random pill roll into the corner of the bathroom!!! 😤 #StoreMedsSafe
