RFK, Jr.: Anti-vax HHS Secretary

CDC panel votes to limit MMRV vaccines


Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handpicked vaccine advisors on Thursday approved limiting the availability of a combined shot for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, the virus that causes chicken pox.
  • The 12-member panel also appeared poised to do away with the recommendation that all newborns receive the Hepatitis B vaccine, but delayed a vote until Friday.





The pro-death and pro-disease party strikes again. Trump, RFK Jr. and Republicans love sick children: MASA.
Time to buy stock in health care...

One thing they need to learn- neurodivergence is not something to be "treated" or cured. Trust me, I know. I am raising an autistic child. We are grateful to have an excellent team of doctors/specialists who guide us and work with her.
absolutely. our daughter is neurodivergent and thankfully we have an incredible support system as well
 
SIAP, but sometimes the cause of climbing autism rates is simply someone trying to get their patients access to medical care: https://www.npr.org/2025/06/26/nx-s...s-doctor-says-he-knows-part-of-the-reason-why

"Asperger's is a very mild version of classic autism and therefore much more common and much more easily mistaken for other mental disorders or for normal eccentricity and social withdrawal. So the 60-fold increase was largely started by the change in definition in DSM-IV, and then it was promoted by several factors. First and foremost, originally, it was the fact that educational services were geared to getting the diagnosis. And anytime there's a benefit related to a psychiatric diagnosis, it - rates jump enormously. "

"Secondly, the internet spread the idea of autism like wildfire. And many people incorrectly self-diagnosed themselves with autism. In some places, it became almost a badge of brilliance. And so the differences in the definition and differences in the application of the definition and the fact that educational benefits have been associated with it - that's what caused the 60-fold increase - not vaccines. We know from very conclusive studies that vaccines do not cause autism."
 
was able to get the covid vax today at a cvs minute clinic. it was a bit of a wait as there were quite a few folks getting one. the nurse told me she had 80 more scheduled today
the vax knocked me on my ass this weekend. thankfully, i’m feeling much better today

I got mine last week. Same thing. I felt ok until the evening, then I got really tired. The next day, I was fine. The same thing happened last year with the vax. And the year before with Shingrix.
Did you get mNEXSPIKE? Thats what I requested and received and other than a little sore arm where injected and a headache it was no big deal.

The drug Trump plans to promote for autism shows real (and fragile) hope
Leucovorin brings hope as the first potential autism treatment, but with RFK Jr. weighing whether to fast-track approval, scientists worry about trust.





I hope this treatment continues to demonstrate benefits for some autistic children. A bit of good news would be welcome these days.

The benefit is for a subset and modest.

We use a good bit of leucovorin, relatively well tolerated.
