It's certainly not going to be honest.

I wonder how much resurgence in debilitating childhood diseases it will take before the Trumpistas start to realize that the Teaparty is about making America Great for the rich folks and fuck the rest of us?

Another one.
Whooping cough cases rising in US, more than double same time last year: CDC
Whooping cough cases are more than double those seen at the same time last year, with 8,064 cases recorded nationwide so far this year.
“Not Just Measles”: Whooping Cough Cases Are Soaring as Vaccine Rates Decline
While much of the country is focused on the spiraling measles outbreak, experts warn that whooping cough and other preventable diseases could get much worse with falling vaccination rates and Trump’s slashing of public health infrastructure.

Why is it that teapartying legislators and appointees think that it's a crucial freedom to choose, concerning vaccination, but reproductive health care and trans must be done by the government "to protect the children"?
WTF?

Yep. We have a President who says he wants to be known as "the Fertilization President"... and those present apparently didn't power-puke on the spot.

The ironic part would be the mere thought of that guy naked would be enough to prevent pregnancies.

This is the kind of stuff Republicans are hearing, not things like why we need HHS.
Does RVonse know you're stealing his job of posting batshit crazy youtube clips? He's not going to be happy...

Yes. We clearly allow kids to make the choice to do certain things, and we allow some things to happen to children, so why wouldn't we allow children to have a choice of which of those things?
Personally, I think kids deserve to have the right to delay puberty until some condition of time or resolve has been met.
But that's the thing, though. This is about giving parents unlimited rights to abuse their children however they please. It is about treating "men" like the owners of their families, legally.
Philosophically it is to defend the worldview and abuse cycles which produce those kinds of folks. It is existential for them, as much as the progressive seeks to break abuse cycles.
It is about making citizens property owned by the government, legally.
I have said this again and again and again after dismantling the junky arguments used to smokescreen around these issues.
Now, they are empowering the same fraction of insane assholes the Nazis tapped for their science program.
Hopefully Temu Gilead is short lived.

RFK Jr.: 'I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me'
Rep. Mark Pocan asked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about a divisive issue. His response? Americans should not take medical advice from him.

The Liar Paradox? If you take his advice that you should not take his medical advice and it is about medical things, so technically it is medical advice.... so you are taking his medical advice not to take his medical advice but then that means you are not taking his advice but you are...and so on.

Such b.s.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a long-awaited approval of Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine but with unusual restrictions.
Novavax makes the nation’s only traditional protein-based coronavirus vaccine – and until now it had emergency authorization from FDA for use in anyone 12 and older.
But late Friday, the FDA granted the company full approval for its vaccine for use only in adults 65 and older – or those 12 to 64 who have at least one health problem that puts them at increased risk from COVID-19.
FDA approves Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, but with unusual restrictions on its use
In its Friday approval letter, the FDA didn’t explain the restrictions although they reflect skepticism about vaccines from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other Trump officials.
