Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Hey, RFK Jr. See this? Because millions of us in the past have these, smallpox is nonexistent. It was eradicated. Before these, millions upon millions of people died of this disease. That is how reality works. That is how science works. Resign. You have no business in that job. You are not a doctor.

A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. âI am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the publicâs health.â
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.âs âwords can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.â And his actions are more lethal still. Heâs waging war on America. Thatâs an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
