RFK Jr Euthanizes ACIP

Abdul and Katelyn discuss a rocky week in public health including:

• RFK Jr gutting ACIP to replace every member with his own appointees.

• The LA protests, and how immigration raids hurt community health

• Good trouble at NIH, as staff band together and demand director Jay Bhattacharya defend their research

Then Abdul talks to Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project, about the Trump Administration's effort to weaponize the government against LBGTQ+ Americans, including cutting the 988 suicide Lifeline.
