Dear MAGA,
Trump and Republikans have already stripped millions of you of your healthcare.
The economy is tanking. The only thing up is inflation.
After Labor Dept. year-end revisions: On average, employers added only 15,000 jobs a month in 2025.
“This does not remotely look like a healthy labor market,” Federal Reserve governor Chris Waller said.

You do not drop out of a surgical residency with 6 months to go without more to it than “disillusioned by healthcare in the US”.
What’s the real story here?

Those vaccines were good enough for her, but since those diseases no long are bothering anyone anymore lets just ignore the reason those diseases basically disappeared.
Physician here. Quitting residency 6 months before finishing is extremely rare and bizarre. Most programs have safety nets in place that allow residents to take time off if they need to for burnout or mental health concerns. Losing a resident mid-training reflects very poorly on training programs and they tend to try to avoid it at all costs. “Disillusionment with the healthcare system” as a reason to quit that close to the finish line just doesn’t make sense, why would you not just finish the program so then you could pivot into functional medicine/policy from the position of a physician who completed a residency, which gives you significantly more credibility?
I know nothing about her or her program, but from my experience my guess is that she was falling behind clinically for years and in her final year, she was so far behind her peers they told her she couldn’t graduate on time and needed remediation and she chose to leave instead. I saw this happen many times in my training, although most chose to take the remediation time so they could still finish. The cover story of needing to escape the system reeks of cope/PR bullshit.

As a doctor myself not completing a residency is a huge huge red flag. Most programs will go to great lengths to make sure the residents graduate, too much effort put in their education at that point. Changing to a different speciality happens frequently but not finishing, very rare and a red flag.

Come to South Carolina to see how that no measles vaccine thing is going. We’re up over 1000 cases now in one little geographical area! And it’s primarily kids being infected!

> HELP Committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.) sought to clarify her answer, asking Means if she would encourage mothers to vaccinate their children with the MMR vaccine, citing the high number of deaths tied to a measles outbreak in the South last year.
Can’t wait for him to pretend he’s upset with her when numbers for measles, flu, and whooping cough skyrocket again. Dems have once again for the most part failed at explaining to the American public that Republicans confirm these fucking unqualified individuals
For fucks sake if an NFL GM drafted a quarterback with a track record for throwing games, who was pretty open ended as to whether he’d do so in the pros, and then did it, the fanbase would demand the guy who hired him got fired. Instead people vote the same dip shits into Congress over and over

Putting this as my own comment since the parent comment for this reply was deleted.
Measles resets the immune system. Surviving it means your immune system is worse off.
This has been studied by immunologists. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/oct/31/measles-wipes-out-immune-systems-memory-study-finds
So when anti-vaxxers claim it’s better for the immune system to battle the viruses to build strength, they’re talking out of their ass and yet again wilfully harming their children so as not to disrupt their delusions.
Same thing with the chicken pox vaccine. If you willing refuse that vaccine and let your kid get chicken pox, because it’s what your parents did, then you’re wilfully putting your kids at risk for developing shingles. Shingles is so damn painful and if it develops in your face, it can blind you.
MenuPerfect35 on
They already brought back the measles and now they want to bring back the whooping cough?? Let me guess rich people will still get their kids vaccinated for free? This is beyond insanity. This is evil.

This is a biological attack on US citizens. It’s just hard for people to understand because they assume good faith.
Stop it. Stop assuming good faith.
People are going to die because her “incompetence” will function as a cover.
If you want to be extra spicy, consider it a BRICS supported biological attack using the permeability of the US government as a vector.
