🆘 DEMOCRACY DISTRESS SIGNAL

Trump’s Science Is Killing Children — And RFK Jr. Is Swinging the Scythe

This is what the death of science looks like in real time.

The CDC, once the gold standard of global public health, had a forecast ready: measles is surging in 19 states, and unvaccinated communities are at high risk. The conclusion was clear—vaccinate now, or more children will die. But that message never saw the light of day. Why? Because Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—America’s leading anti-vax zealot turned Health and Human Services Secretary—decided that truth is incompatible with Trumpism.

So instead of alerting the nation, the CDC buried the report. The new message? “Vaccination is a personal choice.” That’s not science. That’s Kennedy’s Fox News talking point, now repackaged as federal health policy.

And here are the consequences:

💀 A child is dead in Texas—the first measles death in the U.S. in over a decade.

💀 More measles cases have been reported in 2025 than in all of 2024.

💀 This is the largest multi-state measles outbreak in decades.

💀 Hundreds of children are hospitalized—some with liver damage from vitamin A toxicity after RFK Jr. promoted cod liver oil as a “miracle cure.”

Yes, the CDC even updated its website to validate his quackery while quietly scrapping flu shot campaigns and taking down critical public health pages—moves made during mass firings orchestrated by the Trump White House.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just incompetence. It’s state-sponsored sabotage of public health. The CDC is no longer a scientific institution—it’s a silenced hostage, forced to peddle pseudoscience while preventable diseases roar back with fatal consequences.

This is the future Trump and RFK Jr. are building: One where children die, and facts are censored to protect a fantasy.
