2. I have no reason to believe this will happen, but the entire administration needs to be "fired" on the spot.

RFK Jr. is there not in our best interests. For that matter, neither is any member of the cabinet or the Veep or pres. I sincerely hope they all rot in hell.

Just one example, of many:

Highlights
The best way to reduce your risk from seasonal flu and its potentially serious complications is to get a flu vaccine every year. This page has resources to help answer your questions about flu vaccines.

Prevention steps and strategies

Take time to get a flu vaccine.

Everyone 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every season, especially people at higher risk.

CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important action in reducing your risk of flu and its potentially serious outcomes.

Flu vaccines help to reduce the burden of flu illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths on the health care system each year. (Read more about flu vaccine benefits.)

Flu vaccination also has been shown to reduce the severity of illness in people who get vaccinated but still get sick.
For 2024-2025, all flu vaccines will be designed to protect against three influenza viruses (Visit Vaccine Virus Selection for this season's vaccine composition.)

Everyone 6 months and older should get an annual flu vaccine, ideally by the end of October but people should continue to get vaccinated as long as flu viruses pose a threat to their community.

Vaccination of people at higher risk of developing serious flu complications is especially important to decrease their risk of severe flu illness.

People at higher risk of serious flu complications include young children, pregnant women, people with certain chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease, and people 65 years and older.

AND THERE IS A LOT MORE.
