  1. The U.S. just logged the most #measles cases since 1991, and it's only July. #RFKJr must be so proud. #MAHA = Make America Hospitalized Again. medpagetoday.com/infectiousdis

  3. …Experts said the #Trump admin’s response [to the #measles outbreaks] — which has NOT included ANY national push to increase #vaccination rates — has done the #US no favors.

    …Dr. Jonathan Temte, a former chair of the #CDC’s #vaccine advisory committee, said∶ “We have seen virtually no national messaging. We’ve seen no ad campaigns.” He added, “I think that really tells us something about their priorities.”

  5. The outbreaks have taken a steep #economic toll, as #state & #local #PublicHealth departments strained to track down everyone exposed to the #virus, start #vaccination campaigns & analyze tests. Researchers have estimated that in 2025, each #measles case cost the #US more than $100,000, when factoring in #HealthCare spending & the days of missed work for sick people or caretakers.

  7. While many of the #children who became ill were vulnerable to the #virus because their parents opted them out of the #measles #vaccine, local health departments have also reported several cases in babies too young for the shot & people with #health conditions that make them ineligible for the vaccine [they contract the #disease by being exposed to the dummies refusing #vaccination].

  9. #Children have borne the brunt of the #infections, making up >70% of confirmed cases. >80 children & adolescents have been hospitalized this year for complications like #pneumonia, which leaves patients gasping for air, & #brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including #blindness, #deafness & intellectual #disabilities. (There are NO treatments for #measles, though researchers are trying to develop them.)

  11. While the latest national data shows that about 93% of kindergartners have received the #MMR shot, that protection is uneven∶ Some communities have #vaccination rates approaching 100%, while others have rates below 80%.

    #Measles, one of the most #contagious #diseases, is exceptionally good at exploiting those pockets with weak immunity.

  13. More #measles cases have been reported in the #US in the last 2 years than in all the years from 2000–2024 combined.

    Reversing course on measles would require a nationwide push to improve #vaccination rates, a prospect that experts said seemed unlikely under the leadership of “Health” Secy #RFKJr. He has halted #funding for #vaccine hesitancy research, downplayed the risks of measles & spearheaded a hunt for evidence that #vaccines are unsafe.

  15. #Measles Cases Hit New Record in #US, as #Vaccination Rates Wane

    The #Trump admin under #RFKJr’s #HHS has sent “mixed messages” on vaccinations against measles as cases have continued to climb. [RFKJr says don’t vax, while actual scientists & doctors attempt to counter his crazy]

  17. @waldo.net The factoid that sane members of the #Kennedy clan say that the ‘RF’ in #RFK Junior stands for ‘Rat Fucker’ 🐀 is circumstantial evidence against the theory that #RFKjr fucks chickens 🐓 . 🤷🏻‍♂️

  20. In a “Did you know…” article on @wikipedia today we learn that ancient Babylonian medicine believed that strokes and epilepsy were caused by a demon that lived in toilets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šulak

    This is a toot about #RFKjr and the #MAHA ‘movement’. 💩4🧠

    “Prove this potential fraud, which we used AI to find, isn’t happening” is like someone dropping acid asking the world to prove their trip isn’t reality.

    This is an incredibly low bar of scrutiny for a hugely impactful situation.

    Innocent until proven guilty? Not if the hallucination machine says so. Super dangerous.

    Time to leave the Union!! I assume that if the government thinks there is fraud they have to prove it , right?

    “ The Trump administration on Tuesday paused more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota, which Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said would not be reversed until the Democrat-led states “demonstrate that every dollar meets federal requirements.”

  28. Sideshow Bob and #HHS just shelved a rule that would have stripped #Medicaid and #Medicare funding from hospitals that provide gender affirming care for #trans youth.

    30,000 public comments scared them off it.

  30. Many Republicans realize that Donald Trump is dangerously wrong about their safety:
    "Pres. Donald Trump and his Health secretary, #RFKjr, are cutting the federal budget for initiatives that aim to make illicit drug use less deadly, such as needle exchanges and drug testing strips. But some red states are responding by boosting their own funding for those harm-reduction programs":

  32. "The Robert F. Kennedy Jr.-led Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has officially revoked Biden-era federal protections for #LGBTQ+ children in foster care.

    "The regulations ended by the Trump administration on Tuesday, July 14, were put in place to ensure kids were placed in homes with supportive families and protected from abuse."
