Description

Trump administration HHS head Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has officially repealed a Biden-era policy that financially rewarded hospitals for reporting their staff vaccination rates. The previous incentive linked hospital reimbursements to high employee vaccination coverage, a system criticized as coercive and misaligned with medical autonomy. RFK Jr. declared that medical decisions should be guided by well-being and evidence, not financial rewards, and removed several industry-group participants from CDC advisory panels to reduce influence from pharmaceutical interests. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that this shift restores individual choice and prioritizes science-based care over profit-driven mandates.

Any product that has full indemnification that you can't sue anybody if you get hurt from is a product you should never accept.

What? This pisses me off. I’ve worked in healthcare for 32 years. I fight every vaccine offered me and yes, I did not get the jab. But, I had to move jobs and relocate because of it.

I’m a healthcare worker and the flu shot was always optional until a couple of years ago when they made the flu shot mandatory,, and now I know why.
