I am afraid of how this administration will react to the next pandemic. It seems that they are not reacting to the experts who are concerned about the mutation of the Bird Flu. Maybe this will turn out to be nothing but you have to wonder what this administration is hiding/ignoring about upcoming health threats.

This administration will be responsible for thousands of deaths here & overseas. Backing away from vaccines; gutting USAID & PEPFAR; cutting Medicaid/Medicare/the VA; ending support for domestic food banks & the World Food Program. And we really need the Weather Service during tornado season & the Forest Service to put out wildfires to protect human life.

I am amazed that many well-meaning religious people who support the Administration don’t see all this as a moral issue.

I’m pretty certain RFK. Jr. Is a zombie. There is no one home behind his eyes. Nothing but holes in his brain.

My aunt caught measles while she was pregnant and my cousin was born deaf and partly blind. This is a well known consequence of measles

I had measles during an epidemic and children were dying. I was in and out of delirium and in pain. I don't remember much of anything. One memory I have is I was lying down in the back seat of her car. She was taking me to the hospital frightened out of her mind. Survivors were at risk of going blind, losing their hearing and brain damage. There were empty seats when I went back to school of classmates who didn't come back and weren't going to.

Trump has groomed his acolytes in much the same way as a sexual predator grooms his minions. They were hand picked for their absolute loyalty above any demonstrable skill set. Where are the charismatic and confident leaders that have arisen in this Republic’s crises, the Lincoln’s, the FDR’s?
