An emerging contageous virus, like a flu virus, will easily spread in the confines of a military base or a military operation…unless the troops are vaccinated. So the brilliant leaders of HHS and DOD decide to stop protecting the troops by no longer requiring flu vaccination. In 1918, before

I woke up this morning to see that many states across the country have decided to #REJECT the decision to scrap the #HBV vaccine birth dose by #ACIP. Here are some (alt-text included). But who will be left behind? 1/
“A screenshot of a text article discussing a December 5, 2025 ACIP vote to change the longstanding universal hepatitis B vaccination policy for newborns to an individualized decision for infants born to mothers who test negative. The article states that many public health experts and state leaders criticize the change as politically motivated and not evidence-based. Below, a bulleted list names states and health bodies urging rejection of the new guidance:
• California – Governor Gavin Newsom calls the decision reckless and says the state will continue recommending the universal birth dose.
• Illinois – Governor J.B. Pritzker notes a new law allowing state-specific vaccine recommendations and says Illinois will not abide by the ACIP decision.
• Massachusetts – Governor Maura Healey calls the vote dangerous and wrong, and says the state will continue recommending the universal newborn vaccine.
• New York City – Health officials say NYC will continue to strongly recommend hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns.
• West Coast Health Alliance (California, Washington, Oregon) – Issues a joint statement urging rejection of the new guidance due to lack of credible evidence.”

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.
