So promoting COVID, influenza and mpox is now the policy? "Department of Health" in the USA is starting to have the same ring as "Department of Peace" or "Department of Truth".

Yeah, 1984 was just set 40 years too early.
We're going to start needing state border checkpoints so that deadly diseases from states run by fucking idiots don't travel to states not run by fucking idiots.
states not run by fucking idiots
Don't worry, it's hard to travel from LA to a place not run by idiots. I know you can't get there by car. You're going to need at least an airplane, maybe a starship.
I mean, there's always going to be some regular idiots, but not all states are run by fucking idiots.
According to the employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear losing their jobs or other forms of retaliation, the policy would be implemented quietly and would not be put in writing.
Wow, that's some next-level shithole antics.
and would not be put in writing.
Too late.
Surgeon General Abraham also said "there's nothing wrong" with Louisiana conducting its own research into whether childhood vaccines cause autism.
Maybe check the shape of the earth again too. What do you mean, just check existing evidence?! We need to personally conduct research into everything, otherwise how can we be sure? I for one would love to know if the polio vaccine gives you superpowers. The people deserve to know.
Just wear garlic around your neck and you will never catch a cold.
Asafœtida works better. Or Axe, since the whole point is to keep people 6 feet away.
Just in time for bird flu.
This is the Sharia Law they claim to fear lmao.
Shouldn't health insurance companies be up in arms over this? Vaccines are usually much cheaper than paying for treatment. Unless they are planning to say that lack of vaccination makes it the patient's fault.
Why make no money off someone getting a preventative shot when you can force them to get expensive treatments after they get sick and deny most of the claims.
The hospital makes money on treatments, the health insurance makes money on avoiding treatments.
My (non-profit) statutory health insurance/Krankenkasse in Germany pays me to do yearly prophylactic checks every year for this reason.
Is there a law against hospital and insurance shareholder being the same people?
The problem is that hospitals have shareholders
"Whatever you do, you sure don't want to get this here set of vaccine shots, nope nope nope" while smiling and nodding head up and down.
Wow even flu shots. Madness.
It sure seems like these "officials" are actively making decisions to get people killed by easily-preventable diseases.
Trollies trollies everywhere
It's a much darker version of the Parks and Rec episode Sex Education. I hope this DoH has a Leslie Knope...
