The letter raises questions about how truthful #RFKJr was in testimony before #Congress. During an arduous confirmation process where he needed the support of some skeptical #Republicans to advance, Kennedy also pledged to maintain #vaccine policies that, once in office, he changed.

#RFKJr, then a prominent #AntiVax activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s #measles, #mumps & #rubella [ #MMR ] #vaccines after the deaths of 2 children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination 8 times.

#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]

#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.

#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.”

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”.

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.

The Center on Budget & Policy Priorities also highlighted that there is not enough time to implement what could be considered less cruel systems for #Medicaid #WorkRequirements. The center called for work requirements to be pulled, “but short of that, states need more time to ensure their policies, systems, & staffing plans are in place to minimize the number of eligible people whose #healthcare is taken away.”

#Trump #law #PublicHealth #HealthInsurance #SocialCleansing #HealthInequity #Health

#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.

#GeoGroup once converted a #warehouse into a holding center for 500 people about 30 years ago — nothing like the enormous size of the facilities being proposed now, Zoley said. “The operational implications of how you manage such a facility, particularly a large-scale facility, is going to be concerning,” Zoley said.

Detainees would spend an average of 3 to 7 days at the processing sites before being transported to the larger “facilities”, where they would be held about 60 days before being deported [if they survive], acc/to the document. The additional detention space is necessary, the document states, due to #ICE’s hiring of more agents & an expected surge in arrests.

#ICE plans to buy & convert 16 buildings across the country to serve as regional “processing centers”, each holding 1,000 to 1,500 immigrant detainees at a time, acc/to one of the documents, an overview of the detention plan. Another 8 large-scale “#DetentionCenters” will hold ‼️7,000 to 10,000 detainees at a time‼️, & serve as “the primary locations” for international removals.

#ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire #warehouses across the country & retrofit them into #immigrant “#DetentionCenters” that can hold TENS OF THOUSANDS of immigrants, acc/to documents the agency provided to New Hampshire’s governor & published on the state’s website Thursday.

#ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning #warehouses into “#DetentionCenters”

Documents released Thursday offer the most complete picture to date of the #Trump admin’s controversial & costly plan to overhaul immigrant detention using industrial buildings.

Fleming represents the two men — a Venezuelan man & a Mexican man both in the country illegally — in the ongoing litigation that claims the #FederalGovernment continues to violate the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement agreement, which limits #ICE's ability to #arrest people without #warrants or #ProbableCause.

The records confirm "the worst thoughts that we had about the operation," Mark Fleming, the associate director of federal litigation at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told NPR.

"This is the most brazen #unconstitutional #UseOfForce in an operation that I've seen in my entire career," he said. "They have no legal authority to be addressing purported #squatters; that is not within the purview of the #FederalGovernment."

Quickly after the Sept 30, 2025, raid, #DHS published a dramatic video of the operation showing agents with their #guns drawn, some rappelling out of a #BlackHawkHelicopter onto the roof, & leading people [including children & people not dressed] away with their hands zip-tied.

On multiple occasions, the #Trump admin has said the building was frequented by members of #TrenDeAragua , a Venezuelan gang.

Newly revealed arrest records show that a high-profile immigration raid on a South Shore Chicago apartment building last year that became a symbol of #Trump's harsh immigration tactics actually targeted squatters, not Venezuelan gang members.

#RFKJr Scales Back the Number of #Vaccines Recommended for #Children

Federal health officials now recommend that children be routinely inoculated against 11 #diseases, not 17, citing standards in other wealthy nations.

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].

Madness

Under #RFKJr, #US plans to stop
recommending most #vaccines

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests #children get fewer shots & shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

#CDC approves major child #vaccine change, rejects controversial one

The CDC formally approved a major change to the childhood #immunization schedule by dropping the long-standing recommendation for all newborns to get a #hepatitisB vaccine.

The #measles, mumps & rubella [#MMR] #vaccine is safe & provides 97% protection against the #disease after 2 doses. Most #children in the #US are required to get the shot to attend school. But #vaccination rates have declined as more parents waive the shots or have fallen behind on recommended vaccination schedules.

More than 250 people, including #children from 9 area elementary, middle & high schools, are in #quarantine — some for the second time since the #outbreak began in October. Most of the state’s new cases stemmed from exposures at Way of Truth Church in Inman. Church leaders have been “very helpful,” said state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell.

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.

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.

The Advisory Committee on #Immunization Practices [#ACIP] approved the change despite fierce objections from #medical groups who said the recommendation had proved a successful #PublicHealth strategy, nearly eradicating the dangerous #virus among #US #children.

#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…

#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.”
