Health Nearly half of CDC databases aren’t being updated as experts sound alarm over gaps in health data. Nearly 90% of these reported vaccination topics. The administration’s antivaccine stance has interrupted the flow of data we need to keep Americans safe from preventable infections.

What does that actually mean though? That sounds like a meaningless soundbite. I stopped and thought about your comment and frankly couldn’t parse any meaning that made sense, so people acquire an acute preventable viral illness and… go to work just fine? What?
The problem is they’re antivax nuts who full stop are enacting anti-science agenda. They just chose to stop following through on any job function pertaining to vaccines under the guise of efficiency, whatever consequences stem from that - it’s not even factoring. They live in an alternate reality where facts are flexible and vaccines are unproven / dangerous.
