HHS Secretary Tom Price Says States Should Decide on Vaccines
While defending the GOP health care bill on Wednesday night, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price suggested states should decide whether immunizations should be regulated, a comment that has further fueled fears of President Trump’s administration buying into anti-vaccine theories. Price was fielding questions about the new health care plan at a town hall event moderated by CNN, and he praised the House Republican plan as “much better” than the Affordable Care Act. When asked whether immunizations for children should be required, Price suggested that states should decide for themselves how to regulate vaccinations. While the federal government does not mandate vaccinations, it does have the power to influence policies, many of which are set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—which Price oversees. Price said the regulations happen “by and large at the state level because they’re the ones who have the public health responsibility… to determine whether or not immunizations are required for a community population.” Currently, the CDCP does recommend vaccinations, though many fear Price will change those policies.

when my daughter came to visit from Portland, Ore.. it was the perfect time to take a stress break.. and experience life without hearing the word "****" even once.
And, see how happy people can be without the constant reminder of how dark it is.
I guess it's time to get back to work, tho. 
This idiot needs his MD taken away.
