Promises Made, Promises Broken: RFK Jr. Keeps COVID Vaccines From Children
The velocity with which RFK Jr. continues to break the promises he made during his confirmation hearings is simply incredible. As we get further and further away from those hearings, which amazingly occurred only 21 months ago, we may lose sight of the assurances Kennedy gave directly to Congress about his plans if appointed to...

Teen Sadness And Suicidal Thoughts Keep Falling, Even As Kids Keep Scrolling
Over the last few years, it has become accepted knowledge that the internet — mainly social media and, lately, AI tools — was damaging the mental health of kids and increasing the suicide rate among that demographic. To hear the media and politicians talk about it, this was the biggest issue on the planet and...

RFK Jr. Assclown Jambaroo: Anti-Vaxxer Bullshit, A New Panel Of Misfits, EMFs, & Chemtrails, Oh My!
Well, as we previously discussed was going to occur, RFK Jr. gave his keynote speech and appearance at the Children's Health Defense conference of anti-vaxxer conspiracy-mongers, and he was certainly firmly on brand. In fact, he did so much to make news during and around this appearance that we're going to have to break this...

4th Measles Death In PA & All The Federal Govt. Can Do Is Disrespect The Dead By Ignoring Them
As Pennsylvania continues to endure the worst of the current measles outbreaks ravaging the country, a fourth measles-associated death has now been confirmed. As of the time of this writing, the CDC's public website tracking case counts and deaths has still not acknowledged a single one of these fatalities, reportedly at the direction of RFK...

Adult Woman Dies From Measles Complications In Pennsylvania
Despite RFK Jr.'s assurances that he's absolutely killing it combating this pesky measles thing that resurfaced after decades under his leadership, the only thing that is being killed are American citizens who contract measles. While we first eclipsed the measles case count of 2025 in mid-summer of 2026, there has also been no slowdown of...

1 Of 2 Children Dead In PA Confirmed To Be From Measles
I want to start this whole thing off with a disclaimer. Nothing in this post should be misconstrued as gloating, as being pleased, or as having a connotation that is anything beyond sadness and the need for change. Nobody is happy to have the obvious confirmed when it comes to a child's death. There is...

Reporting Indicates RFK Jr. Directly Intervened To Keep PA Deaths Off CDC Measles Report
The measles outbreak, that began in America nearly two years ago, has only increased in velocity. We recently talked about the deaths of two children in Pennsylvania who both died while infected with measles. I'm altering my language slightly here from that original post in which I described those children as having died of measles...

Even As Disease Outbreaks Abound, American Vaccination Rates In Children Fall
The past 18 months have seen a significant number of health issues, perhaps crises, arise in America. Measles, cyclosporiasis, whooping cough, and more have all been in the news. RFK Jr. is either stroking his pet conspiracy theories alongside Trump, or else he's completely out to lunch. In the meantime, Kennedy is also continuing to...

Erica Schwartz Confirmed As CDC Director Right After She Ruined Her Reputation
When Erica Schwartz was first nominated for Director of the CDC, you could almost hear both a gasp of surprise and a collective sigh of relief from healthcare providers throughout the country. Schwartz is well qualified for the role, after all, and many took her nomination as a sign that the White House was attempting...

Budget Cuts, Apathy Lead To Trump Administration Being Slow Acknowledging Two Cyclosporiasis Deaths
A couple of weeks ago we discussed how the cuts made to HHS and specifically the CDC's FoodNet tracking platform were making it much harder to track and back trace the source of the country's current cyclosporiasis outbreak. You'll have heard about this outbreak in the news by now. It's the one where you begin...
