RFK Jr. to gut vaccine promotion and HIV prevention office, sources say

Source: CBS News

The entire staff of the federal government's Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy is expected to be laid off, multiple federal health officials told CBS News Friday. The moves are part of a broader restructuring plan ordered by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that involves cutting 20,000 HHS positions.

Much of the government's efforts to buoy lagging childhood vaccination rates nationwide have been run through OIDP, including a new campaign called "Let's Get Real" that had launched in the final months of the Biden administration to provide resources and information to health care providers talking to hesitant parents.

"Spreading the truth saves lives, so use our resources to help parents understand how vaccines work, why they're safe, and how they help protect kids," the department had said of the campaign after it was launched.

The Office of Minority Health has also been informed that it should expect to be dissolved, sources said.

[brer cat]

2. I'm sorry to hear your nrews. I hope you are

one the mend soon!

And damn these assholes for reckless indifference.

[William769]

5. I just posted this in MIRT.

8. Sorry for the crypt message could'nt

(Congestive Heart Failure): Shortness of breath (also called dyspnea), Persistent coughing or wheezing, Buildup of excess fluid in body tissues (edema) (40 fucking pounds, I kid you not!), They have me on a continuous lasix drip to releive the water weight, but instead of a regular catheter (ouch) It's what they call here a pouch catheter which goes over the penis (The urinary bladder is a hollow, stretchy organ in the lower part of your abdomen that stores urine before it leaves your body through your urethra.) I can pee all I want & not worry about it. Tiredness, fatigue, Lack of appetite, nausea, Confusion, impaired thinking (why I decided not to post in here with the exception of this post),Increased heart rate, Weight changes.

P.S. I just can't catch a fucking break.

Yes it can be related to HIV ( had full blown AIDS 3 years, HIV 17 years). But I'm a survivor.

[William769]

49. Thank you NewHendoLib

[SheltieLover]

31. I hope they are taking good care of you!

[William769]

50. Thank you SheltieLover

[SheltieLover]

52. Yw!

Hru feeling?

[William769]

58. I ever tell you you're one of my favorites?

I Hurt bad, but people like responding to me here, helps a lot.

[greatauntoftriplets]

38. OMG, I'm so sorry to hear this.

It's good that you got to the doctor and/or hospital where they can take care of you. It's good that you're in the ICU because you're having cardiac issues and they'll watch you like a hawk.

Did you get there under your own power or in an ambulance. Forty percent of water weight is scary as hell so I hope that all the Lasix works. That stuff is brutal, so I'm happy that you have the pouch catheter and that it's more comfortable than an old-fashion catheter.

Sending good vibes your way for a speedy recovery so you can get out of there quickly and go home. I'm so sorry that this happened to you, in your long list of illnesses. They're no fun.

[William769]

51. Seems like you know what I'm talking about greatauntoftriplets

[greatauntoftriplets]

59. Well, I've never had your particular set of problems.

But I have been in ICU. It was some years ago, and I was out of it at the time. But I lived.

[William769]

69. Well, I've been out some years too!

I know what you met.

[greatauntoftriplets]

72. Of course you knew what I meant.

I spent three days having weird dreams. Seemed like a lot longer once I regained consciousness.

[William769]

74. Lesbian dreams will do that!

Come on, stop that! Sorry, I'm on a roll tonight.

[greatauntoftriplets]

79. Actually, in one dream someone came in to shoot up the ICU.

The triplets, who were about 11 at the time, saved me. Also, I dreamed about DU.

[William769]

82. Well that's good. I'll play good now.

[greatauntoftriplets]

83. LOL.

[William769]

85. I got to have some fun in here.

Know I love Ya.

[greatauntoftriplets]

92. You do because it's boring being hospitalized.

Those nurses had better be nice to you.

[William769]

95. They are, I know you'll take care of them if they don't.

The C.N.A. is a robot though, I haven't broken through to him yet though.

[greatauntoftriplets]

96. How long have you been there?

[William769]

100. Since Tuesday Afternoon

Got to ride in a Carriage with lights! I was special.

[greatauntoftriplets]

102. Did the carriage have a siren too?

At least they got you there fast. So your 4th night there. Hope you're sleeping well.

[William769]

105. Didn't rate a siren but oolala the Driver & Coachman!

[greatauntoftriplets]

109. Nice!

[William769]

112. I got all night.

[greatauntoftriplets]

121. And I'm heading to bed shortly.

[William769]

125. I'm getting there but

I wear a C-PAP and I don't like the one they have at this hospital.

[greatauntoftriplets]

128. They're supposed to be awful.

The triplets' father has to wear one, and he hates his. I can't imagine having to sleep with one.

[William769]

129. The one at home I actually like. It's a Resmed

I use a full mouth, well becaue I breathe through my mouth & not my nose.

[greatauntoftriplets]

131. Too bad that you can't have it at the hospital.

[William769]

134. I can, I just need to get it here.

Just not on my high list of to do's

[greatauntoftriplets]

136. I'd offer, but it's a bit far.

[William769]

140. Just a plane ride then a Taxi.

Pretty please.

[summer_in_TX]

165. You've got the right brand at home.

The tech who tested me was very experienced. Thankfully she was willing to recommend equipment she knew worked the best because resmed had been working on it longer and had more kinks worked out. I've got the nasal pillow, my husband has a face mask, but just over his nose.

I wonder if they'll let you have the one from home brought up for you to use in the hospital? On the other hand, I hope you get to go home soon.

My husband developed chs about 15 months ago. It's been a journey. He's been in the hospital twice on the lasix drip, but it worked wonders. While it took some learning and trial and error, he's on an upswing now. (Hope you are not quite as stubborn as he is, so you get to feeling better soon and are able to stay that way.)

Sending you all the best.

[William769]

168. Yes they will let me have it here, I just need to get it here and it is a great piece of equipment.

The drip is doing wonders for my leg's & thigh's so far as I can tell. Well I am qiurt stubborn (I think it's in my DNA :blush).

I just want to be able to eat again.

[summer_in_TX]

204. So glad to hear you are improving!

Will you be able to qualify for cardiac rehab, do you think?

Unfortunately, my husband was outside the window of time. It isn't effective after ten years apparently. He probably should have had it after his valve replacement surgery in 2014, but no one mentioned it to him. He developed a-fib, finally had an an ablation, but then developed chs within a week of that and ended up in the hospital doing what you're doing.

It took awhile mentally to adjust to the new reality. He's done better lately in managing his salt intake and so forth. It's took a year of a roller coaster to get here.

[bdamomma]

39. We are here

for you William769, also you have professionals taking care of you.

Again, we are here for you.

[William769]

53. Thank you bdamomma

[tishaLA]

64. I had CHF a couple decades ago

when I was still young and spent two weeks in the CCU going through more tests and poking and prodding than I care to remember. When I was diagnosed, my EF was 8 and they put me on the transplant list.

Fast forward a couple years and my heart had returned to normal, no signs of scarring, no cardiomyopathy, and an EF of 60, and I haven't decompensated in all those years, Cases like mine are rare, but there's still a possibility.

One thing I insisted on was getting to target doses of my CHF meds -- Coreg (carvedilol), lisinopril, and something else I can't remember -- as quickly as possible. Like every time I saw my Dr,, I asked him to increase my dosage. It meant I was terribly tired for a few months, but I wanted to be as aggressive as possible in dealing with it.

Keep fighting. It'll be exhausting and your limitations will be angering, but stay stubborn.

[William769]

70. Knowing it's been decades for you, gives me hope.

Thank you for that.

[Violet_Crumble]

81. Don't let RFK anywhere near you!

I'm really sorry to hear yr going through a really rough spot, but I know you've got the strength to get past this. My mum had congestive heart failure, so I've got an idea how yuck it is.

Get better soon!

[William769]

88. Thank you Violet_Crumble, wished we heard more from you.

[Emrys]

137. I'd hope they're keeping a close eye on you in ICU, but are they checking your electrolytes?

My dad was on lasix many years ago because of heart failure and edema in his legs and feet, and he'd been on it for over a year before some doctor realized they should have been giving him a potassium supplement. This mistake did nothing to help his various symptoms!

I hope they're keeping you comfortable and that you'll soon be on the mend.

[William769]

150. Thanks for that. They are checking my electrolytes and they are low.

Taking potassium sucks. They are horse pills! But I take them. Thanks for looking out for me.

[Emrys]

171. I figured there was no harm in checking!

If we have to pill our cat, I smear the pill in butter to lubricate it and help it slip down, otherwise the little devil spits it straight back out. Maybe an idea?

Take care, buddy.

[William769]

175. Thanks Emrys

But ideas like that re best kept to one self.

[erronis]

198. Oh, we used canned cat food. But perhaps William769 wouldn't like that.

How about deviled ham?

[halobeam]

174. Potassium pills are gigantic, but sure beats IV potassium! That stuff HURTS!

Hugs to you ... wishing you the speediest of recoveries.

[William769]

177. Thanks halobeam

You're right about the "IV potassium!" It BURNS!

[Rhiannon12866]

195. Wow! I am so sorry, my friend! But it does sound as if you're feeling better and in the right place

As I said, you know that you're now receiving those powerful DU vibes not only from every state in the country and numerous traditional allies as well! Thanks so much for checking in and let us know how you're doing when you can. And as long as you have DU, you'll have constant company and encouragement. Get well soon, hang in there and we're here to keep your spirits up and to keep you company at all hours!

[TBF]

200. Glad you got to the ICU ok, Bill

I had a massive saddle PE out of the blue nearly 10 years ago (attributed to one of the new formula birth control pills). Similar in some ways, the PE put pressure on the right side of my heart, and I was worried I was having early heart issues (I was late 40s at the time but have rheumatoid arthritis). They used clot busters via catheter and thankfully I was on my way home after 8 days. Being in critical condition sure reminds us fast how tenuous life can be. Feel better soon, I'm glad you've got good care!

[SWBTATTReg]

201. Hey William, get well and out of the ICU fast! I'm sorry to hear that you're not doing well, so pls. get well soon, so

we'll continue to hear your voice, strong and proud when you post another one of your amazing posts for DU to ponder, to enjoy, to assimilate, to act on.

Your DU family misses you and we need you back home as soon as you can be. Get well soon.

The unconscionable conduct of RFK Jr, taking away any and all access to lifesaving information and resources is harmful to us all. I guess that is the point.

[William769]

41. Been here since 2004 so recognize the old timers :) ...

please try and take time for yourself to relieve some stress ... classical music, breathing exercises, whatever makes you relax. I'm familiar with the area and hospitals, have family nearby.

And be an advocate for yourself, in a nice way of course.

[William769]

119. I know the names cliffside Come & gone.

but we march on.

[cliffside]

144. Let us march on while you you take care of yourself ...

it is difficult not to pay attention though, but try .... you cannot fight if you're sick.

Don't think you need to answer messages, read, soak in the encouragement and love and post a thank you once or twice a day if you are up to it! I do not mean to preach, but relaxation is good for the body and mind ... should take my own advice sometimes.

[William769]

147. Good advice cliffside but I was raised in the era that everyone got a thank you.

62. Hang in there

The best revenge is outlasting them, so let yourself be taken care of. And if the news is making your beepers beep in bad ways, take a break. If you can watch Netflix, check out The Residence, a kind of cozy, kind of hilarious 8-part binge of a mystery in a White House where the president happens to be gay.

As far as Robert Kennedy Jr.: We who care about HIV -- because we care about our lovers, friends, ourselves and our families -- we have gotten through times like this before, times with the govt not giving a shit if we lived or died. We're in a far better place now, in every way, and while this administration's action absolutely sucks and is evil, the queer and poz communities have more skills and resources than most other groups who are also getting screwed. That's small comfort, I know, but maybe it will help for tonight.

[William769]

139. Thank you TommyT139

I have seen "Cozy" it is hilarious! I know the rest. I survuved the Reagan years, Blessed the Clinton years, and I have to admit for HIV even the Bush years for prescription drug coverage, The Obama years was tough going in the beginning but we ended up hitting the trifecta, trupm 1st time around we kind of sailed through, Biden we breezed through & trump 2 SCHREEEEEEEECH!

Long story short, been there from the beginning.

That worm brain is hurting so many of us and our loved ones.
Cutting funding and research that benefits all of us.

My son has ACC cancer, there is no cure and little research because of how rare it is. Wormbrain just stomped on what little hope many of our loved who are fighting cancer, HIV and other chronic diseases.

His ignorance regarding vaccine will kill so many children and affect future generations.

I will continue to speak up, protest and fight until they are gone or I'm in my grave.

Take care, rest and know that there are many of us who care.

I started reading du I think in 2005 maybe earlier. First joined in 2008 but was purged doing the great hack. Didn't join back up until 2023. But I have lurked and enjoyed reading du.
So get some rest and let the docs and nurses take care of you

188. We'll we're glad to have you back posting again.

I will get some rest just after I post a story in General Discussion.

176. Always been there, never not been there

Just figure that’s you, too.

Nine years ago, when my wife was told she had “the murderer,” and there wasn’t much hope of seeing any light at the end of her tunnel, we just said we’ll go for it anyway. We did, and she indeed has never yet NOT been here. Her month in the hospital was awful, but her nine years since OUT of the hospital have been a lot better. Look BEYOND the misery, and let no one tell you that’s not where you’re headed.

Easy to say, harder to do. Do it anyway.

183. Thank you DFW

179. Awful 😿

I hope you’re getting better. Another diuretic is aldactone. My father was on that. My cats with chf were on lasix. Hugs to you 🤗

Diet, exercise and reducing fluid intake can all help chf. As well as weight loss. My brother who was recently diagnosed with afib was scared he was going to develop chf and lost a lot of weight, over 50-60 pounds.

& hope your father & cats are doing well.

185. I am so sorry, William769...

I wish I could offer more in the way of prayers and healing, but I'd be a hypocrite. This is a terrible time, and there is no way around that. I can only offer you sincere empathy.

(I was a dance student in NYCity in the early 1980s, and lost many friends. Now I'm facing my own death from a rare cancer.)

There are forums here and elsewhere for sharing thoughts and feelings about what we are experiencing.

Wishing you all the best!!

189. Oh, Sparkly!

I am so sorry to hear this. I don't send prayers either and haven't for a very long time. I will however send you love and hugs.❤

[Sparkly]

205. Thank you, sheshe.

That means a lot to me!

[sheshe2]

207. Love you, hon.

I don't quite understand the layers of messaging here anymore.

206. We is Us

I'm not sure what you are apologizing for -?

And no, we don't.

[William769]

186. I apologies if I missed anyone. The response has been overwhelming.

This is why I love DU So MUCH!

[William769]

194. You know it's time to go to bed when you spend 20 minutes looking for your glasses

& the Nurse tell's you you're wearing them.

Good night & thanks for keeping me company.

[Evolve Dammit]

197. JHC. These Magats are burning it all down. Insanity. Hope you get out soon before hospital cuts the ICU.

[uppityperson]

199. Aw Bill,i hope you recover quickly and get back home soon

Yeah, the orange one's news continues to suck and infuriate

[Tumbulu]

202. Hoping that you cared for and recover quickly

These times are brutal; making it all the more important to send each other love.

Hugs and love my DU friend.
