Today in history - Smallpox eradication.

 Thank you, RFK Jr., for letting us repeat history.  

In this April 14, 1947 file photo, a long line winds toward the entrance to Morrisania Hospital in the Bronx borough of New York, where doctors are inoculating against smallpox. (AP Photo/File) 

My, how far we have gone backwards.  On December 9, 1979, scientists certified the global eradication of smallpox, a disease which killed an estimated 300 million people in the 20th century. 

I am just so... totally tired of the stupid shit-fuckery from the Trump administration.  How... soon... until this ends?  Please?

It's like going back to the goddamn Stone Age.

We must now rely on the AMA and our own doctors. 'Course, we know the insurance companies will then deny, deny, deny. Except... Gavin Newsome has joined forces with OR and WA, and the NE states are doing the same.
