Trump-shaped ecstasy pills can be fatal, Dutch drug institute warns - I’d 🤣 but…turns out it’s not just pills. #TrumpRegime policies can be and often ARE fatal. Think #ICE murders of citizens, #DOGE cuts that have killed thousands, #SNAP reductions, and of course, the #HHS public health policies of brainwork #RFKjr. FFS, kids are dying of measles, after it was once eliminated. Next, the #repubilcans are going to go after #Medicare and #SocialSecurity. Cruelty IS the point with #Trump. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-shaped-ecstasy-pills-can-be-fatal-dutch-drug-institute-warns/

An example of the methodology encouraged - even rewarded - by the most corrupt and dishonest US administration in history:

Trump’s COVID Failure Killed Americans RFK Jr Is Repeating the Deadly Experiment
The COVID disaster was a warning. Trump and RFK Jr. are repeating it by undermining vaccines, weakening health safeguards, and rewarding the politics of fear.

We are nearing a tipping point.Not a #Climate tipping point, but a #ConservativeIdeology tipping point.
#Conservatives are defined by their lack of #Empathy. And the most extreme #narcissist on the planet is their king.
They don't believe in #GlobalWarming or if cutting #HHS is spreading disease.
…until Drought causes prices to soar. Until war causes prices to soar. Until THEY get sick.
ONLY THEN do they start asking questions. 🤦♂️
The empathy scale: From Trump to #Dolly.

#HHS RFK Jr. experimented on the inhabitants of Samoa and 83 people died of #measles. and lied about it. I wonder how many suffered permanent injury from elevated fever? #vaccines

It’s almost as if they shouldn’t have gutted #CISA
#US says #China #hackers broke into #DOJ, #NASA, #FederalReserve, #Senate & more
In a statement, the DOJ said that it had seized domains used by 2 hacking platforms, dubbed “QScan” & “QTRouter,” which it said had been used as part of the campaign. An affidavit identified the US Departments of #Energy, #HHS, the #NIH, & 4 unnamed companies in the US & #SouthKorea as being among the hackers' victims.

Standford model projects hundreds of thousands of deaths if current #vaccines policy persists - “The United States has a measles problem again, and it is the direct result of policy choices being made in Washington right now. The disease was declared eliminated here in 2000. It is now on the verge of returning to endemic status, and the federal government is actively weakening the tools that would stop it.”

Antivaxxer RFK, Jr. cuts funding for mRNA research and yet can't stop science from rearing its head again.

In August, #RFKJr’s #HHS followed up by announcing it would no longer fund #mRNA #research through the Biomedical Advanced Research & Development Authority. The latter move involved the cancellation of 22‼️ separate contracts.
After the #FDA initially declined to review #Moderna’s mRNA-based #flu #vaccine because of the design of the company’s clinical trial, the agency recently approved it.

Experts say major safety concerns are unfounded, but #government #funding for #mRNA, particularly for its use against respiratory viruses, has been slashed during #Trump’s 2nd admin, driving concerns that mRNA innovation could stall.
#RFKJr’s #HHS last year CANCELLED a $590 million deal with #Moderna to develop an mRNA-based #vaccine against emerging pandemic influenza.

Angels of Death
The United States is currently experiencing a historic resurgence of measles, reaching a 35-year high in 2026. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that measles cases have surpassed the record-breaking numbers of 2025, fueled by a multi-year decline in childhood vaccination rates and growing vaccine skepticism. Because measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases on Earth, it acts as a “canary in the coal mine” for public health, rapidly finding and spreading through pockets of under-vaccinated communities.
What are our leaders doing about it? Donald Trump is spreading vaccine skepticism. He overruled his qualified medical advisers in issuing an executive order urging Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. to cut the number of childhood immunizations. His plan includes 11 immunizations, down from a recommended 17. Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), tetanus, pertussis and polio would still be universal. But those for hepatitis A and B, dengue, flu, Covid and rotavirus would be advised only for “high-risk” children, or else would to be left to “shared clinical decision-making” between doctors and parents.
It also orders the government to recommend that the combination MMR vaccination, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, “should be administered in three separate singe-disease shots.”
Simply put, it means three trips to the doctor and three jabs of a needle for children. That means extra pain and cost. And that’s if the three separate vaccines are made available. Right now, only the combination shot is produced. It could take years to produce the three separate vaccines. The combination shot has been used in the United States for more than 50 years.
The effect will be to discourage parents from administering the vaccines to their children. That will lead to an increase in disease and death.
Trump calls his order the “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations.” It largely follows a much-disputed HHS report in January that advised fewer vaccines on the childhood schedule. Trump’s order isn’t based on rigorous science, or really any science at all. It is based only on his uninformed position, supported by the anti-vaxer with no medical training who he put in charge of the nation’s health, RFK, Jr. His statement announcing the new order was loaded with misleading claims and out and out lies.
The day after Trump’s announcement the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics blasted the new policy. “As measles cases reach a 35-year high in the U.S. and with cold and flu season quickly approaching, today’s executive order on vaccines is not only disheartening but dangerous,” Dr. Andrew Racine said in a release.
The President’s executive order doesn’t compel states or schools to follow his pared regimen, but he threatens legal action against those that don’t adopt it. He directs Attorney General Todd Blanche to challenge state laws that conflict with “parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations, and equal protection under the law.”
Under Trump’s order, the Justice Department could sue states for infringing on parental authority if they require vaccines for school attendance that differ from his recommendations. State police powers to protect public health can sometimes be in tension with parental rights, and some states overstepped during the pandemic, though none mandated Covid shots for school-age children. Multiple studies have shown that the United States suffered twice the number of deaths and incurred twice the cost of comparable countries as a result of Covid. Trump consistently opposed medical advice on combatting that pandemic.
Trump’s order could inflame what has become a culture war over immunizations. That war was enflamed by the broad Covid vaccine mandates during the Biden administration. The mandates were vigorously opposed by conservatives and vaccine skeptics. But Trump is making the same mistake in trying to coerce states into following his line on vaccines. Kennedy and his plaintiff lawyer friends benefit from spreading vaccine skepticism. But Trump’s jab at children’s vaccines could alienate voters, especially parents of young children, as measles spreads.

"The disinformation coming from the #TrumpAdministration amounts to a dangerous experiment on our children. Americans deserve better than political ideology masquerading as medical science. They deserve to know that Trump and #HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are sowing doubt about #vaccines despite the overwhelming evidence supporting their safety and effectiveness." https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/122616

@tzimmer_history
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE THINGS about the way #DisasterDon is handling heath matters in his second term is that HE LEARNED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from his disastrous (mis)handling of #Covid.One would think they'd be asking more questions and being MORE careful before setting healthcare policy.
In fact, it's WORSE. Doubling down with his putting a fellow conspiracy nut and genuine nutcase like #RFKJr in charge of #HHS.
