  1. #RFKJr Is Driving a Vast Inquiry Into #Vaccines Despite Recent Public Silence

    “Health” Secy Robert F Kennedy Jr has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside the #HHS, a sprawling “research” effort is top priority.

  6. #HHS declined to answer a series of questions for this article, instead offering a general statement that the agency “remains committed to protecting & strengthening #Medicaid for those who rely on it…while eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse.”

  7. Concerns about what the interim rule from #RFKJr could look like:

    A person with debilitating #ChronicPain, or a serious #AutoimmuneDisease, may appear “able-bodied” by the standards RFK Jr appears poised to implement—even as they face hurdles in qualifying for #SocialSecurity #disability due to not being considered #disabled “enough”.

  8. This also highlights the cruelty of Nebraska’s implementation of work requirements before the Jan 1, 2027 deadline.

    Especially because an interim rule from the #HHS Secretary #RFKJr is not even due until June 1.

  9. #Medicaid #WorkRequirements do not increase employment. Instead, the administrative burden of work requirements only serves to kick people off this governmental #HealthInsurance. Additionally, a majority of people on Medicaid, who are not on Supplemental Security Income, work full or part-time jobs. This underlines how rhetoric around work requirements is just false.

  10. #Trump announces outlines of #healthcare plan in a taped video message Thursday that he wants #Congress to consider.

    When he ran for president in 2024, Trump said he had only “concepts of a plan” to address #health care. His new proposal, which is short on any specifics, appeared to be a wish list rather than ready #legislation.

    It’s still just #ConceptsOfAPlan.

  11. Consumers can continue to enroll in plans through Thurs, for coverage that becomes effective on Feb 1. After that, in the absence of any congressional action, the annual open enrollment period will be over for people signing up through the federal marketplace, & most people may have to wait until next year to enroll.

  12. The expiration of the extra #subsidies has DOUBLED the amount people will have to pay for #insurance, on average. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the result will result in 2 million more Americans becoming uninsured this year. But other analysts have estimated larger losses of coverage.

  13. #House passes #bill to extend #healthcare #subsidies in defiance of #GOP leaders

    In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House passed #legislation Thursday, 230-196, that would extend expired #health care subsidies for those who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act [#ACA] as “renegade” GOP lawmakers joined essentially all #Democrats in voting for the measure.

  14. The #Trump admin froze $10 billion in #grant #funding for #childcare & #family assistance programs in 5 states purportedly because of “serious concerns about widespread fraud” in state-administered programs.

    All 5 states targeted — #California, #Colorado, #Illinois, #Minnesota & #NewYork — are led by #Democrats.

  15. Federal “health” ofcls are weighing vaccine guidance that would encourage parents to talk to a doctor to make decisions for most shots…. This approach would mark a fundamental shift in the #healthcare system that generally relies on federal #health agencies to guide how #patients are protected against #disease [& importantly what #HealthInsurance must cover].

  16. The #Trump admin plans to shift the federal govt away from directly recommending most #vaccines for #children & suggest they receive fewer shots to more closely align with Denmark’s #immunization model…. [but they’re totes cool with dictating what #women & #trans folk can do medically].

  17. Republican Reps Brian Fitzpatrick, Robert Bresnahan & Ryan Mackenzie, all from #Pennsylvania, & Mike Lawler of #NewYork signed on Wednesday morning, pushing it to the magic number of 218. A vote on the subsidy bill could come as soon as January under #House rules.

    “Unfortunately, it is House leadership themselves that have forced this outcome.” Fitzpatrick said in a statement.

  18. Though #MikeJohnson had signaled openness to allowing debate on the proposal, he ultimately rejected a bid to do so by politically vulnerable #Republicans who had hoped for a vote that would, at the very least, allow them to show voters they had tried to avoid rising premiums.

  19. Speaker #MikeJohnson on Tuesday shut the door on a vote to extend #AffordableCareAct subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year, bucking moderates in his party who had urged action to prevent millions of Americans from facing higher #health care costs starting Jan 1.

  20. Thursday the #Senate rejected 2 proposals to address the problem & an emerging #healthcare package from #House #Republicans does not include an extension, all but guaranteeing that many Americans will see much higher #insurance costs in 2026.

  21. #Republicans rejected a Democratic bill to extend the subsidies for 3 years & #Democrats rejected a Republican alternative that would have created new #health savings accounts — an unceremonious end to a monthslong effort by Democrats to prevent the COVID-19-era subsidies from expiring on Jan. 1.

  22. This kind of #policy making — the #ACIP childhood #vaccine schedule, combined with not extending #ACA subsidies, adding #WorkRequirements to #SNAP / #FoodStamps & #Medicaid — all coming simultaneously in 2026 — is going to be an assault upon the #poor people of the #UnitedStates all while we are in a #Kshaped #economy with the #WealthGap ever widening.

  23. There’s a reason I keep tagging #HealthyIfYoureWealthy, #SocialCleansing & #eugenics on #ACIP posts.

    While we can all say these people are nuts, we’re not listening to their advice, that’s great, but this “official” federal advisory committee’s guidelines are how #HealthInsurance determines what #vaccines they cover & what you have to pay out-of-pocket.

    Meaning #poor families won’t be able to #afford to choose differently than what these incompetent #ConsiracyTheorist #AntiVaxxers have chosen.

  28. #ACIP managed to postpone voting until tomorrow (Friday) morning, because they can’t figure out what they are voting on. Seriously. These are the people advising the population of the #UnitedStates on #vaccinations.

    From their “discussion”, they’re probably going to not recommend vaccinating infants for #HepB. Idiots.

  29. #BillCassidy voted to confirm #RFKJr as “health” secretary earlier this year after getting a promise from Kennedy to not push his #AntiVax agenda. Either the brain worm ate the memory of the promise, or RFKJr was full of shit as usual.

    Now let’s see if Cassidy does anything about it…

  30. #BillCassidy noted one of the presenters scheduled for Friday is a trial attorney who’s worked with #RFKJr to sue #vaccine makers.

    “He is presenting as if an expert on #childhood #vaccines,” Cassidy wrote. “The #ACIP is totally discredited. They are not protecting children.”

  31. Apparently Sen #BillCassidy has finally had enough of #RFKJr’s #AntiVax nonsense.

    Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a liver doctor who’s been outspoken in support of the birth dose of the #hepatitisB #vaccine, posted to X the agenda of the cmte, known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [#ACIP].

In a New England Journal of Medicine article, the former FDA commissioners wrote they were “deeply concerned” by the top vaccine regulator’s approach to raising the bar for approvals.

  33. #USDA Secy Brooke Rollins on Tuesday threatened to cut off federal #funding to #Democratic-leaning #states over their alleged refusal to share #SNAP program #data with the #Trump admin.

    The admin "will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states" starting next week "until they comply," Rollins told Trump during a White House #Cabinet meeting.
