As an immune compromised person receiving cancer treatment, it's life or death that I receive Scientific based information regarding such things as prudent vaccine protocols & my personal decision to wear a mask in public while immunocompromised. Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr's dismantling of PRIOR sound Scientific guidelines within the CDC, places my life (& others like me) at a high mortality risk. I trust neither his documented information about the Current Covid Vaccine Itself or his changes in recommended Protocols for the Covid Vaccine, Specifically; both are based upon his personal opinions, not Scientific data/evidence. So, I will/must refrain from future boosters until the CDC is restored to it's FORMER reliability/Trustworthiness based upon Scientific data/evidence from Credible individuals/Professionals; NOT Kennedy's personal opinions or his chosen CDC advisors who support/advocate his personal opinions, not Scientific data/evidence.
Furthermore ~ It was well documented Scientifically by the FORMER CDC that covid vaccines saved COUNTLESS lives during the pandemic, but that Scientific data/evidence has virtually All been removed from the CDC website & is now sparse to the general public; ALL of this FORMER data should be made accessible to the general public again, helping United States citizens to make an informed/unbiased decision to receive/not receive a covid vaccine/booster based upon Scientific data/evidence.
In conclusion: Wholeheartedly, I urge that Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr be ordered to resign from his position immediately; replacing him with a qualified individual that backs his/her decisions on Scientific data/evidence & is proactive toward promoting sound Public Health practices, based upon Scientific data/evidence.
I am old enough to know people who suffered from polio, from mumps, from measles. Vaccines have saved life’s and protected the health of so many. We need a head of HHS that listens to scientists. RFK needs to leave or be fired before he does even more damage.
I am a retired nurse. One of my 4 jobs in 42 yrs was with the Niagara County Health Department. Vaccines are an integral piece to community health. They have been proven to be safe and effective. I worked through the Covid pandemic in our local hospital, and watched a great number of patients die, no matter what treatment they received. When the Covid vaccine became available, we held clinics in the evening. The community came in droves, and I believe lives were saved. The current administration has relieved some of the most experienced and knowledgeable medical professionals of their duties. This puts the public at much greater risk, as proven science is ignored.
Besides the EIS and LLS being mission critical to the health and security of our nation, I have a personal interest. My granddaughter was accepted into the EIS program last October and received her PhD on Feb. 13th only to find out that the EIS Program was shut down the next day. Not only disappointing but this was her dream job and a passion of hers for the past 7 years. The way the administration is going about reducing the federal budget in not only inhumane, it is insane!
I don't want to see vital jobs, research and public guidance disappear because of the personal politics of loyalists to Trump being given roles in this administration. That is not keeping best interest of the public in mind. Dismantling the CDC is really dangerous for everyone
As an ICU RN in a Level 1 Trauma Center, I’m worried about how tearing down these important programs will further overwhelm our already overtaxed healthcare system. We cannot afford another pandemic like COVID-19 or multiple uncontrolled epidemics.
As a chronic/intractable pain patient, with 3 extremely painful diseases the forced tapering of opioid pain medications have left me unable to function properly on a daily basis and barely able to take care of myself. The unrelenting pain 24/7 has caused me to have high blood pressure (now have to take blood pressure med),as well as other medical problems, due to under-treated pain. This is going to soon require me to have an in home health caregiver. This only costs more money for my insurance and myself. How many chronic pain patients do we have to lose to suicide, due to tapering, or cutting off of necessary opioid pain medications, before they realize this is wrong and against our civil rights, to fair medical treatment? What happened to the hypocritical oath “to do no harm?” This has become a form of genocide against chronic /intractable pain patients.
