Very well said.
Please please be aware that politics is not science. Medicine is both an art and a science. The way we care for our patients based on our current knowledge isn’t how we’ll care for patients in even 10 years, but as physicians and researchers we are doing our best with the knowledge that we have. We don’t treat based on opinions or feelings, but on knowledge gained through decades of training and centuries of every growing knowledge of the human body. We should not be placing our trust in health care decisions for our nation in the hands of those whose motivations are not based in knowledge, but politically and financially driven.
More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children.
But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t.
All 17 independent vaccine experts—scientists and doctors who’ve spent their careers protecting children—have been fired. Not because the science changed, but because ideology took its place.
In their seats now are individuals who not only lack the expertise we need to guide vaccine policy, but who have a track record of spreading vaccine misinformation.
This decision doesn’t reflect families. It doesn’t reflect science. It strips away the trusted voices parents rely on and replaces them with anti-vaccine activism.
That’s not protecting families. That’s taking away their power to make informed decisions—and putting kids at risk.
