Why is #RFKJr so opposed to #vaccines? Most likely because he's a grifter who sees a profit opportunity. https://www.ms.now/opinion/rfk-jr-vaccines-hhs-cdc

While #hantavirus doesn't pose a major threat to most of us, writes epidemiologist and cofounder of @nprofile1q... Gregg Gonsalves, "the real story is the collapse of #pandemic preparedness in this country—all the #PublicHealth and scientific infrastructure that has disappeared, the purge of talent, experience, and expertise that was meant to keep us safe." https://www.thenation.com/article/society/hantavirus-pandemic-preparedness/
