Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologistโ€ฆ pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.โ€ @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

As a primary care provider in Congress, I will build trust in public health that RFK Jr & Mehmet Oz are destroying.

Worst of the worst?

Government records show that the vast majority โ€“ 77% โ€“ of people who entered deportation proceedings for the first time in 2025 had no criminal conviction, exposing a stark gap between the Trump administrationโ€™s rhetoric and reality.

A member of our community has made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. War has tremendous consequences for families of service members. The Constitution vested the power to declare war with Congress, not the Commander-in-Chief. My sympathies for his family & friends. We mourn his loss.

Iโ€™m running to lower costs, to ensure families have health care, and to protect our democracy from extremism and Trumpโ€™s unconstitutional actions.

The communities in CA-06 deserves a Congressperson who will fight for them, not Trump. #CA06 #DrPanforCongress

After I reduced the number of uninsured in California, Kevin Kiley voted to cut health care for the poor and allowed health care premiums to skyrocket for the middle class.

He stood with Donald Trump 98% of the time, and Trump called him โ€œa MAGA Champion.โ€

A titan of vaccine development sees his fieldโ€™s achievements slip away Stanley Plotkin, the 93-year-old "godfather of vaccines," is watching his fieldโ€™s achievements slip away.

Stanley Plotkin had a major hand in the development of a number of vaccines in use today; he designed the rubella vaccine. He remembers the world before widespread use of vaccines & knows what's coming as vaccine policy is rewritten & vaccine confidence is eroded. www.statnews.com/2026/03/02/s...

Where Are the Protests Against RFK Jr's Sickening Policies? | Opinion Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has launched a crusade to dismantle long-established medical and scientific practices that ensure public health.

Many valid points here... His impact has been drastic.

"...(Trump's) own polling firm, Fabrizio Ward, found... 20% of swing voters in key congressional districts would abandon any Republican candidate who opposed vaccines. The memo concluded, 'Vaccine skepticism is bad politics.'โ€ ๐Ÿ›Ÿ๐Ÿ˜ท health policy
