We've found out more of the back story and how RFK Jr. was pressuring Monarez behind the scenes on vaccines. At least three top CDC officials have resigned www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Fiery response here from Monarez's lawyers who say she has not resigned and has not been fired despite HHS saying she is no longer director. And searing words about RFK Jr.

The November election was the final battle of World Information War I. America lost (after barely defending ourselves) to a coalition of oligarchs, neo-confederates, and neo-nazis, and is now under a malevolent occupation government. This is the framing with the most explanatory power.

You need to get a quote, on the record, about what Senator Bill Cassidy says he's doing as chair of the Senate Health Committee, responsible for oversight. He said he voted to confirm Kennedy because of assurances from Kennedy about vaccine policy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We have reached out to Cassidy for comment, as we have been doing consistently when RFK Jr. takes actions on vaccines

Thank you. I should be reading about the entire press corps camped outside his office and his continuing refusal to answer questions about his job.

Such stunning hypocrisy for him to assure Americans that he received "assurances" which he now seems not to care about.

The entire committee needs to hear from voters. The deaths of hundreds, thousands of Americans -- who knows? --can't be shrugged off or left to midterms to decide.
