Can’t emphasize enough how bad this is. When vaccination rates for measles are >95%, it’s like having lush green grass for any random spark to lend on- nothing happens. When rates are this low, it’s like a dried out grass field that can explode when a spark (measles case) lands 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️💪🏼

This is nuts AND...290 people attended in-person (with another 230 online). Pathetic showing from a small & unpopular but very loud group that has hijacked American public health to our deep detriment.

Dr. Anthony Fauchi’s treatment by Congress this week will cause many intelligent and potentially life-saving experts to avoid public service. Americans will die unnecessarily in future disease crises because of Rand Paul and MAGA behavior.

You know your government is doing well when the party in power keeps raising threats of marxists and communists. Meantime, cost of living continues to sail further from the reach of the average person. Healthcare expenses continue a steady upward climb.

1/ Over the weekend, the FDA announced that a lettuce sample from Taylor Farms tested positive for Cyclospora. Within 24 hours, the FDA backtracked, calling the result a false positive. Taylor Farms quickly deleted its own posts about its bagged lettuce and boasted the FDA had apologized to them.

Hearing the FDA did not apologize and the recall still stands. Taylor Farms’ lettuce is stjll implicated. We no long know who to trust or what is true: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984

The US public needs to be aware: we are not ready. We are not living with the same protections we had just 2 years ago. Awful, uncomfortable, inconvenient. This GI bug was not highly fatal. There are many other infectious diseases that are and our safety net is in tatters.
