OK. Enough is enough. The world is falling apart. People everywhere are overwhelmed by the heat. Our defenses are being depleted. The nation’s wealth is in the hands of a few, while regular folks can’t purchase a home and others are losing their health insurance. Frauds are pardoned while their swindled victims are mocked. Meanwhile, our senators voted in an AG puppet. Have you heard of the Epstein files?

Now the POTUS and his hapless health czar, in another executive order, are trying to blow up childhood immunizations as if blowing up Iran and the economy are not enough.

Who in the world or their right mind gave them permission to blatantly discount, ignore and dismiss countless decades of science and experience, millions of healthy lives saved, and lifetimes of incredible investigating and discovery that have made the world a better place for babies and children through vaccines?

Let him destroy a reflecting pool, but he cannot, by his pathological narcissism, be allowed to destroy the lives of children.

How dare he. But how dare our elected remain silent?

How dare parents vote for his supporters?

Childhood immunizations are too important to be ruined by MAGA madness.

Unfortunately, there is no shot or vaccine against their maniacal lust for power disorders.
