Dr. Susan Monarez fmr CDC director writing in the Wall Street Journal editorial

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the CDC and me

"Those seeking to undermine vaccines use a familar playbook: discredit research, weaken advisory committees, and use manipulated outcomes to unravel protections that generations of families have relied on to keep deadly diseases at bay. Once trusted experts are removed and advisory bodies are stacked, the results are predetermined.

That isn't reform. It is sabotage"

Thank you. I'm 74, and had every vaccination available. Mom insisted upon it, and I am grateful.

I just got back from a lovely vacation in beautiful, sane, kind Canada. It sure would be nice to live in a country that actually gave a sh!t about its citizens. In my next life I am going to be Canadian. America is nucking futz and I hate it here.
