All the conflict of interest stuff is just a giant smokescreen. Kennedy is anti-Vaccine, he might sometimes pretend to not be againt vaccines but that is just misdirection. He's going to sow doubt about vaccines, he already removed vaccines from recommendations against all scientific evidence and will make new vaccines (and even adapted versions of existing vaccines) much harder if not impossible to approve.

Someone should ask him which vaccines he thinks are safe and effective. I'm guessing he won't be able to name one.

He has at times claimed there are no safe and effective vaccines.
i am not a skeptic, but with covid19 vax i first hand witnessed completely irregular menstrual cycles, and nerve issues/trigeminal neuralgia that doctors have been unable to "explain" only occuring after my first jab and continue for years.
i took 2 jabs at that start of covid vaxinations, fcked my life up to be honest.
only now doctors they are saying may be related after years of inconclusive reports..
we jumped the gun on covid19 vax, i am fine with anything being out many many years.
we wouldnt dare give it to our children.
BUT we are upto date and will continue to be upto date on immunizations as required by local health and schools (covid is not one of them).
so we arent anti-vax.
we anti-letting us and our kids be the test bed.

How do you know for certain that the irregular menstrual cycles were caused by the vaccine? Please be specific.

I'd recommend getting your bloods done, and then (if you are experiencing perimenopause) try taking enough œstradiol to get your levels back up: that might reduce the pressure on your trigeminal nerve, if the two things are related. (This of course increases your cancer risk, but for most women it's worth it.)

I have seen 8 specialists in padt 1.5 years. And 15+ bloodtests as recent as 2 days ago.
They reviewing my case for a case study at ubc med
Anyone else feel free to armchair opinion and be skeptical.
Did the vax cause the issues directly? Probably not.
Did it trigger somehting dormant already in a cascading affect?
Possibly...

To be replaced with people who will not approve vaccines regardless of safety, reducing our total health.
I can't wait to travel to Mexico or Canada to get a vaccine!

But... how? I do remember times during COVID when you couldn't even get on the plane without proof of vaccine.
cosmicgadget · 3h ago
I thought it was vaccine or a negative test within the past x days.
In any event, Mexico and Canada are special in that they share a terrestrial border with most of the United States.

I don't know about Mexico but Canada enforced vax requirements for anyone crossing by land, with the exception of truckers.

For covid. Presumably ebiester is interested in being vaccinated against other diseases.

Because America has been the paragon of health over the past few decades...because America spends the most per capita on Health Care. What a super effective system. Obviously everything was working out so great before this JFK guy came.

Packing the committee with a diverse group of cranks and cronies will surely restore confidence in the health care system.
Looks like it has been flagged. How do you escalate to get it unflagged?

>> Members of the ACIP are appointed to four-year terms, and many were slated to serve on the committee for another three years. Kennedy wrote Monday that “without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.”
So, another lawsuit against illegal executive branch dismissal of federal workers, then?

I'm sure Kennedy would like to eliminate vaccinations but this is probably just another purge of independent/nonpartisan/democrat elements of the government. Trump wants only loyalists so he can have total control over the function of the government. More likely we'll see vaccine policy be horsetraded for monetary contributions and pledges to root out DEI.

There's a reason why so many activists call what conservatives around the world are doing "autogenocide." None of what the US regime is doing seems to make much sense, apart from being designed to quite literally kill people in some way

Also, the decadence of the American people is contributing a lot. Tough to find time to care when the average person is spending 2-4 hours staring at 10-30 second bursts of entertainment. It’s depressing…

Sounds like perimenopause. Irregular menstrual cycles, and "doctors are clueless", are both symptoms of perimenopause; and trigeminal neuralgia is associated with menopause (see e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3401754/#sec2-4 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4247552/#sec2-8).
I'd recommend getting your bloods done, and then (if you are experiencing perimenopause) try taking enough œstradiol to get your levels back up: that might reduce the pressure on your trigeminal nerve, if the two things are related. (This of course increases your cancer risk, but for most women it's worth it.)
