The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last weekās firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.ās war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Hereās a progress report.

I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Heidi Finan (@hkfinan.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope to see states a) secure supplies, b) widen access to it for anyone under 65. It really should have the same guidance as regular flu shot at this point.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Ppl need to think big picture. Iāve notice this struggle since 2016 election. Protest votes do not enact policy change, especially when they aid electing a tyrant. A race is between two candidates, pick one weighing the big picture, not a single issue.
