Robert Kennedy Jr at HHS A Mockingjay of Public Health?

May the Odds Be Ever NOT In Your Favor Measles

Alright alright settle down District 12! Katniss Everdeen here reporting live from… well still trying to figure out where 'here' is these days but that's another story. What's got my bow strung tight is this whole mess with Robert Kennedy Jr. at Health and Human Services. Now I've faced down Gamemakers President Snow and genetically mutated mutts but this? This feels like a whole new level of 'Are you kidding me?'

FDA Leader Jumps Ship

So this Kennedy guy apparently he's not exactly a fan of those little pricks in the arm – I mean vaccines. And now the head honcho over at the FDA's biologics division Peter Marks has packed his bags faster than Peeta running from a tracker jacker nest. Seems like he wasn't too keen on Kennedy’s… let's call them 'alternative' views on medicine. Cantor Fitzgerald those fancy folks from who knows what District are raising a stink too. They’re saying Kennedy's skepticism is a 'step too far.' Honestly I'm starting to think the Capitol's got nothing on this circus.

Vitamin A? More Like Vitamin 'Aw Crap!'

Kennedy's out there downplaying measles pushing unproven remedies like some kind of snake oil salesman. We already had a measles death folks. Honestly it reminds me of the time they tried to tell us berries were safe! The analysts are not happy apparently they are saying that Vitamin A is not enough that people are dying from this. I mean come on. We learned in the arena that you use proven things that work! That includes medicine. How many more people need to buy into this 'take Vitamin A' nonsense?

When Stocks Fall Faster Than a Career Tribute

And it doesn't stop there! Those fancy biotech companies Moderna and Novavax took a nosedive faster than a Career Tribute falling into a pit of tracker jackers. Even that SPDR S & P Biotech ETF thingie went down down down. I don't pretend to understand stocks (give me a bow and arrow any day) but when even those folks are worried you know something's rotten in Denmark—or you know Panem.

The Autism Vaccine Myth: A Hunger Games of Misinformation

Let's not forget the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is actually doing a study on vaccines and autism... AGAIN?! Like that has not been debunked. Reminds me of that time when the Capitol said everything was fine when clearly things were not fine! We are going in circles here people! What are we doing here?

This is Bigger Than Bread. It's About Survival.

Look I'm no scientist but I know a thing or two about survival. And sometimes survival means trusting the experts even if they don't always have all the answers. Spreading misinformation and letting people die because of it... That's not freedom. That's just another form of the Games. The analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald said this is bigger than stocks that this is about people dying because of absurdity. How many more people need to die? So let's keep our eyes open our arrows sharp and maybe just maybe we can fight back against this particular brand of Capitol foolishness. Because like I always say 'If we burn you burn with us!'
