This approach, which is not finalized, would mark a fundamental shift in the #healthcare system that generally relies on federal health agencies to guide how children are protected against disease.

  20. If you live in the #US & think your country has turned to shit under #Trump - seriously consider #LEAVING IT.

    With the #TrumpRegime’s morons running things into the ground, a sudden or continued #BrainDrain might open his supporters eyes, as the best & brightest get outta Dodge.

    Things will only get uglier & more violent as time goes on

    Think about it #USPol #auspol

    Time’s running out. If #ICE don’t target you or someone you care about, you’ll be dealing with #epidemics & no #FEMA or #CDC
