My Dearest Human, I know youāve been missing me. I see you looking at my bed, my toys, my old leash and that tiny pawprint on your heart that still aches. I wish I could nuzzle your face again, lick away your tears, and tell you Iām still right here. Please donāt cry for me, my

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it. Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities ā including the grant for this device. The cruelty is endless.

There are major problems with health & the US healthcare system that need attention. But that RFK Jr is Secretary of HHS, overseeing M&M, NIH, CDC and FDA is a profound national embarrassment and threat to the nations health. Truly unbelievable.
Doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical giants profit by keeping Americans sick.

Dr. Katalin Karikó who won a Nobel Prize for developing mRNA vaccines responds to RFK Jr: "When you are sick, you wouldn't ask for advice from a lawyer like Kennedy. You ask experts, your physician, for advice."

Literally one of the dumbest self-own moves in history. The stupidity of this clown and the corrupt madmen backing him is going to kill millions of people.
RFK JR: After reviewing the science⦠HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses. Thatās why BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts..

BARDA invested in mRNA technology precisely because it could deliver safe, scalable vaccines in record time, a capability proven during COVID. By dismantling that platform, weāre crippling our front-line defense, just ahead of unknown biological threats. https://t.co/ymD0Y55gA0

RFK Jr is systematically turning the USA from THE leader in science to an ideologically anti scientific backwater of quackery and pseudoscience It will take years to come back from it.

TFW you learn that a guy who has relentlessly harassed you and your colleagues for years over imaginary and groundless charges of publishing invalid findings has demonstrably published invalid findings. Happy Saturday, Dick! š
