Can the health secretaries in the blue states organize themselves as the 23 Dem AGs do and start more aggressively pushing back on what Kennedy is doing? Their citizens are at risk.

The MAGA CDC is a death cult.

If you are under 65 it is going to get much harder to get a COVID vaccine now. Kennedy is fucking insane. "Depending on the panel’s advice, Americans under age 65 could be expected to provide documentation of a serious medical problem before they can get a shot." apnews.com/article/vacc...

I know this isn't feasible for everyone, but for those who can, they can come here (Canada) to get their COVID vaccine. (I checked with my pharmacy yesterday, and yes, Americans can get them...for free.)

Ask Senator Cassidy. An actual medical doctor who voted for him based on empty words from a bunch of liars. After receiving assurances from Kennedy and the Trump administration that Kennedy would not dismantle the nation’s vaccine safety systems or take down government vaccine guidance.

THE GOOD NEWS: last year's version of COVID booster is being found to cover the new variants pretty well. So even if the newest version, for whatever reason, cannot be issued to the pharmacy chains, get the last version currently in the pharmacy chains and it should be protective as well...

I stopped in at the pharmacy where I've been getting vaccinated. I've gotten #Covid shots there almost since the day they became available for my age group. Today for the first time, they didn't have any. They said #flu should be available next week and Covid might be available and to check back.

Must have pulled previous stock in anticipation of new supply coming in. Could be a bad mistake on the pharmacy chain's parts. Find your local FQHC, schedule to see a provider and they will still have previous last version of COVID booster shots

Blue states should start and fund their own CDC alternative. Then when the next pandemic arrives, we can charge red states exorbitant fees to access our vaccines and cures.

Why can't they issue their own pro-science (and therefore pro-life) rules on vaccines etc.? I heard Pritzker did something along these lines on a health issue. Forgot the details. @pritzkerposting.bsky.social do you know? Blue states should create their own CDC too.

@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social why are you silent about RFK Jr decimating public health? There has to be some pressure you can put on Senate Republicans. Tell them you won’t vote for any budget bill until RFK changes are rescinded. Do not vote for any more HHS nominees!
