To get the votes he needed for confirmation, RFK Jr. promised that he would not change the children’s vaccine schedule.

Now, in his first speech to the Health & Human Services employees (the ones who are still left after he fired thousands of them last weekend), this anti-vax leader of our country’s public health promised that he WOULD investigate the children’s vaccine schedule! “Nothing is going to be off limits!”

And, of course, this statement was made while West Texas is having a #measles outbreak among unvaccinated people. 🙄

From the articler: "Elon Musk’s and his Department of Government Efficiency forced the USDA into an embarrassing walkback after it was revealed that staffers who were working on combatting the current bird flu epidemic were mistakenly fired.

"U.S. Department of Agriculture officials said Tuesday it had mistakenly laid off “several agency employees who were vital in the government response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak, reports NBC News. The department is now scrambling to rehire those who were fired."

My husband started showing symptoms of the flu overnight and his fever is almost gone with no medication this afternoon.

He just referred to himself as "a walking ambush" due to his vaccinations, and that is the energy I'm taking with me through the rest of flu season.

I'm at my mom's, and it saddens me to see her in much pain from #CIRVA / #CRPS, a chronic condition where the whole arm is getting extremely painful, for years after vaccination. For her it started immediately after getting the flu vaccine and later the covid one on the same arm (her other arm had no problem). I feel guilty that I was pushing her to get the covid vaccine back then. Her condition is very rare, but it does happen occasionally.
