In 1991, Federal Panel Blasts Vaccine Unavailability That Led To A Measles Epidemic
The apocryphal quote supposedly from Mark Twain is one of my favorites: "History does not repeat, but it does often rhyme." Now, there is no evidence that Twain ever actually authored these words, but it's incredible how true they tend to be regardless. And when it comes to the current measles outbreak that is ravaging...

Polling: Americans Uncertain On RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Stance, Very Certain That They Hate Him
In my many, many posts about RFK Jr. and his disastrous tenure as Secretary of HHS, there are two themes that have hopefully broken through all the noise. The first is that Kennedy is a miserable communicator, in a way that is totally purposeful. He talks out of both sides of his mouth all the...

New York Declares State Of Emergency As Measles Cases Spread Fast
It's becoming very apparent that we failed to learn a key lesson from the COVID-19 pandemic: infectious diseases aren't partisan; they will come for us all. While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. play their little partisan games over the measles outbreak, the disease is spreading. Spinning conspiracy theories, falsely claiming that the government has it...

CDC Opens Up COVID Vaccine Procurement Without Explanation
Among the many promises that RFK Jr. offered in his confirmation hearings, promises that he has gone about breaking in spectacular fashion, one was a promise of "radical transparency". His approach, in his own words, was laid out directly to Congress. My approach to administration HHS will be transparency. If members of this committee or...

CDC Finally Gets Around To Acknowledging Half Of The Measles Fatalities We Know Exist
While the game-playing that RFK Jr.'s CDC has conducted is ongoing, they can only keep up the charade for so long. The nation is undergoing the worst outbreak of measles in over three decades, with Pennsylvania currently the hardest hit of all the states. As we've discussed, there have now been four measles-related deaths in...

Promises Made, Promises Broken: RFK Jr. Keeps COVID Vaccines From Children
The velocity with which RFK Jr. continues to break the promises he made during his confirmation hearings is simply incredible. As we get further and further away from those hearings, which amazingly occurred only 21 months ago, we may lose sight of the assurances Kennedy gave directly to Congress about his plans if appointed to...

RFK Jr. Yoinks Millions Meant To Keep Minority Infants Alive For His Security Detail
What if all this time, we have completely misunderstood RFK Jr.'s obsession with keeping children from being vaccinated? What if the notion that he was a true anti-vaxxer, or was ignorant and confused on how this whole science things works, was completely wrong? What if he just hates children, particularly black and brown children, and...

RFK Jr. Assclown Jambaroo: Anti-Vaxxer Bullshit, A New Panel Of Misfits, EMFs, & Chemtrails, Oh My!
Well, as we previously discussed was going to occur, RFK Jr. gave his keynote speech and appearance at the Children's Health Defense conference of anti-vaxxer conspiracy-mongers, and he was certainly firmly on brand. In fact, he did so much to make news during and around this appearance that we're going to have to break this...

4th Measles Death In PA & All The Federal Govt. Can Do Is Disrespect The Dead By Ignoring Them
As Pennsylvania continues to endure the worst of the current measles outbreaks ravaging the country, a fourth measles-associated death has now been confirmed. As of the time of this writing, the CDC's public website tracking case counts and deaths has still not acknowledged a single one of these fatalities, reportedly at the direction of RFK...

Adult Woman Dies From Measles Complications In Pennsylvania
Despite RFK Jr.'s assurances that he's absolutely killing it combating this pesky measles thing that resurfaced after decades under his leadership, the only thing that is being killed are American citizens who contract measles. While we first eclipsed the measles case count of 2025 in mid-summer of 2026, there has also been no slowdown of...

1 Of 2 Children Dead In PA Confirmed To Be From Measles
I want to start this whole thing off with a disclaimer. Nothing in this post should be misconstrued as gloating, as being pleased, or as having a connotation that is anything beyond sadness and the need for change. Nobody is happy to have the obvious confirmed when it comes to a child's death. There is...

Reporting Indicates RFK Jr. Directly Intervened To Keep PA Deaths Off CDC Measles Report
The measles outbreak, that began in America nearly two years ago, has only increased in velocity. We recently talked about the deaths of two children in Pennsylvania who both died while infected with measles. I'm altering my language slightly here from that original post in which I described those children as having died of measles...

Court Tells HHS To Stop Using AI To Cite Fake Studies, Or Willfully Misinterpret Others In Grant Solicitations
To quote the opening line from the court opinion that this post is based upon, "Millions of American teenagers have sex." This post is has nothing to do with whether that sort of thing is good or bad, natural or otherwise, nor the moral implications of it all. Whatever you think about that opening line,...
