RFK Jr. said in his Fox News OpEd that “Good nutrition remains a best defense against most chronic and infectious illnesses”. The best diet in the world will not prevent infection if you are unvaccinated and sharing air with someone who has measles.

School vaccination requirements play a vital role in keeping diseases at bay. Measles eradication is a shining example of the success of such laws. The return of outbreaks is a chilling reminder of their importance. bit.ly/TNSchoolVaxReq

School vax laws play a vital role in keeping diseases at bay. Measles eradication is a shining example of their success across the US, and the return of outbreaks is a chilling reminder of their importance. Ask legislators to vote NO on HJR0028. www.tnfamiliesforvaccines.org/action-alerts

ACTION ALERT!! - HJR0028 will be heard in the House Health Committee this week. The proposed constitutional amendment would be dangerous for the health and safety of all Tennesseans. Please take some time to make sure the Committee members year your voice. www.TNFamiliesforVaccines.org/Action-Alerts

ACTION ALERT!! - HB1157/SB1031 will undermine public trust in the TN Department of Health by limiting the expert guidance Tennesseans rely on. Ask committee members to support our health experts and protect their ability to serve Tennesseans by voting NO. www.TNfamiliesforvaccines.org/action-alerts.

RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine. This is false. They are hospitalized with: •respiratory distress •pneumonia •dangerously high fever •encephalitis •severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...

What an incredible day sharing with our legislators about important of protecting public health through vaccination!

RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in vaccines, but he’s made millions from biotech investments & lawsuits against vaccine companies.
