Do you plan to do a write up of all his testimony today? I couldn’t bring myself to do it, at risk of stroking out from rage, but feel like I need to know what BS he’s spreading today.
I have a bunch of deadlines and was sorta relying on a bunch of other people to do this news cycle. But for this part of it, I had to stop and do this one :) But, yeah, I'll share something on that too, even if it's just recs for other reading.
This is how vaccines can be banned - oh there's no director, or the acting director decides to sit on the ACIP recommendations, etc. So nothing gets done.
Well, I watched both the morning & afternoon. It was TOUGH!!!!! Jr got worse as it went on. I had thought the House would be harder on him than the Senate but actually a few GOP senators got after him a little too. I think hearing from back home as they say. Look it is obvious with no medical background he is really unqualified to head HHS. No matter if you are MAHA or not. His only interest in additives in food, holistic approach to chronic diseases. That's all. At least the FDA guy has SOME medical background. Its pathetic with Jr. Trump picked him to get the MAHA mom's votes. Dr Bratt and the FDA head should have been there. I mean when it was Redfield, Fauci, Walensky, etc they all showed up together for their inquisitions.
It seems RFK Jr is deliberately using the vacancy of a director and acting director to prevent ACIP recommendations from moving forward. I suspect the same thing will happen to FDA recommendations from the May 22nd meeting for 2025–2026 Formula for COVID–19 Vaccines for Use in the United States.
How much of a delay will cause vaccine makers to not be able to update vaccines for fall 25 to spring 26?
How can I as a layman help to get this stuff moving?
You just can't make this stuff up! Good grief!! Everyday just brings more horror. Thank you so much for your part in keeping us up to date.

Don’t give yourself more work to do! We’ll inevitably see it reported elsewhere (probably on MedPage anyway)
I watched part of this KFF discussion

The incompetence of this entire administration is unbelievable!
What Administration. Ugh…

RFK Jr is making our collective blood pressure increase and for this attack on our health, he should step down ASAP!
