Even RFK Jr understands that you gotta keep the boss happy even if it contradicts the few principles he has.

Whoever this "they" are you are referring to isn't a group to take seriously. I've never heard anyone with an IQ over 80 suggest Trump deserves a Nobel Prize of any kind. Ignore the fruitcakes.

It came up at the hearing. One of the Senators asked RFK about it to trap him. Trump says he deserves a Nobel for vaccines and RFK hates vaccines.

The privileged will retain options, but poor kids will not.

That is exactly who public health is supposed to serve.

Related PSA: I was just talking to my pharmacist and asked if she had any advice for me as someone with chronic lung disease who would like the next Covid booster once it’s available. She said it’s all still up in the air, but that the best way be prepared is to get some kind of order/note/prescription/other proof from a doctor to have in hand when the time comes. I happen to have an appointment in a few weeks so will plan ahead for that. Thought I’d mention it here in case others need to do the same thing at upcoming appointments.

It really depends on your state. For some, that’s not enough. For others, it may be. PA just changed state laws overnight to snub RFK jr and can now give vaccine in pharmacy without Rx.

I think the Pfizer guy is trying to make a play - he knows trump wants the prize, and he knows trump likes praise. So he combined both in the hopes of getting trump’s favor. Many before have brought shiny gifts or lavished fake praise upon trump, because he is easily won over.

Sorry. I should have linked -

“Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Wednesday said President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for rapidly distributing the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
“President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed,” Cassidy said in a WednesdaY”

That’s actually not how vaccines work. You don’t live longer because of them.

My guess: 1 - you know no one who contracted polio in their youth/teens and were confined to a wheel chair (the last person living in an iron lung died last year!) for the duration of their life; 2 - you know no who lived in a TB sanatorium prior to the development of effective antibiotics. You basically know nothing about public health. I'm praying for your children.

I hope they didn’t throw those iron lungs away. Florida will need them.
Not a joke. My relative had polio as a child because he was too young for school and the school was administering them. His mom didnt know where or how to get one for him. He spent the rest of his childhood in and out of iron lungs (able to breathe without it at times), only seeing his siblings through the hospital window to the ground far below.
That. Just. Sucked.

Except for these days, if someone doesn’t have health insurance, they’ll just be left to die. Or they’ll be administered to the hospital and be in debt.

The financial aspects are no joke. I do t know much about measles (which seems the most likely thing to become a problem first), but continuing the polio example, these are serious illnesses with serious costs. My stepfather, born 1940, had polio as a young child. He had one of the easier cases and recovered almost completely, with a small muscle that atrophied but one where he could compensate with other muscles. Even then, he was in the hospital for weeks and had months of intensive physical therapy after. And that wasn’t a situation requiring lifelong care.

Besides the tremendous family burdens of extra care and medical costs, think of the costs for insurers and for hospitals left with bills that people can’t pay back. I would think those industries would have to foresee that and start lobbying in favor of vaccines?

So the “eliminate fraud, waste and abuse” crowd have now added a new hoop that will drive up health care costs needlessly.

Sounds about right. (See “new ballroom in the White House).

The leathery skin, the strange look in his eyes, the wheezing and heavy breathing, and he seems to be uncomfortable sitting in a chair. He looks like a monster.

Well, he admits to having had a brain worm and being a heroin addict. That can’t be helpful.

Senator doctor Cassidy said it today in his questioning of RFK. He wants to challenge RFK because HE KNOWS BETTER, but he is afraid of the orange toddler feeling slighted so he has to throw the insincere absurd flattery at Trump a la Cabinet.

It really depends on your state. For some, that’s not enough. For others, it may be. PA just changed state laws overnight to snub RFK jr and can now give vaccine in pharmacy without Rx.

Yes Pennsylvania!!!! are the insurance companies going to cover that?

Less expensive to cover a shot than to cover someone hospitalized, but I guess we'll see.

Please yes!! Finally congress sees sense!

Fire RFKjr

Any of them Republicans?

Four Republican Senators who are also medical doctors voted to confirm this clown.

Sen. Mike Crapo, a Republican from Idaho who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, just refused to swear in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. which would have put his testimony to the Senate under oath.

Sounds like an intent to lie

Can anyone explain formal rules regarding “swearing in”?
Why was it not done?

That’s actually not how vaccines work. You don’t live longer because of them.

You clearly haven't had an elderly relative in a care home, who's quality of life is questionable. If you don't give an elderly person a flu shot there is a fairly good chance they will die from the flu. At some point a conversation occurs where ceasing the flu shot is discussed as a more humane death than say that from the end stages of dementia.
