THIS IS FAR FROM THE ONLY ISSUE ENDANGERING OUR COLLECTIVE HEALTH IN THESE TIMES.
Keep Hope Alive:
Evidence-based medicine is under attack! Please, please keep apprised of the many issues affecting the health of all populations (and our minorities in particular) and contact your senators and representatives so that they know what is important to those they’re sworn to serve!!
In that vein, please also take a look at the Executive Order Tracker and Impacts on Black America page by the CBCF.
It’s now necessary to talk about all vaccines! They have all been extensively tested before approval. Ignore the fake hype! Make sure you and
