"MAGAtrusts RFK more than they trust their dr bc RFK tells them that doctors have a FIN incentive to push #vaccines. This is a lie. Most practices either loseor just break even on vaccinations. When it comes to the health of your family, trust your dr."
-Dr J Reiner

Many MAGA believed anti-vaxxers then Trump made his #RFKJr #HHS Sec. It's easier to control the masses when they're sick, poor, imperiled... & it enriches the oligarchs, when they're dead. Their ideology is short-sighted.

In case you missed it, this is Jim O'Neill, RFK Jr's #2 at the Department of Health and Human Services, at DEF CON 33 on August 8, 2025.

He gave remarks before the AI Cyber Challenge awards ceremony, which awarded $8.5M to the winning teams. One of his remarks: he wants to...

"Make the US healthcare system great again."

O'Neill is an investor, has no medical background and is closely associated with Peter Thiel. Platforming, in action.

We need better discourse, leadership, & action to protect #PublicHealth wkrs.

This tragedy isn't an isolated eventa reflection of ever-escalating threats PH wkrs face: misinfo, politicization, & inflammatory rhetoric.

>18 hrs: for #HHS Sec #RJKJr to issue a public stmt condemning the violent act. CDC employees: already demoralized by DOGE-led budget & staffing cuts felt abandoned.

Falsely claimingthese #vaccines: inherently dangerous: mislead +endanger lives.

"In the worst-case scenario, they said, he might dismiss experts on whom the government relies to make sound decisions about immunizations and enact policies restricting access. He might cancel important research that would be needed in a future pandemic.

In less than six months, Mr. Kennedy has done all that and more."

“'Kessler has given the FDA a way to define the vast majority of ultra-processed foods. In doing so, he has handed RFK Jr a huge gift on the path to regulating these products. It’s just what MAHA has asked for. I hope they take it seriously,' Marion Nestle, the Paulette Goddard professor emerita of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University, said in an email."

#WeThePeople cannot stand silent when #HHS kills #mRNA funding, research, use, and press. Thousands of law suits must be lodged asap against every agency & person spewing garbage lies as "science". mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives. Proven. Unless you are a dimwit! #Politics
