    what would happen if citizens focused not on politics, pettiness, snide comments but all cooperated to pursue prosecution of the fraud and waste in government.

    all the political monkeyshines, pettiness and snide attitudes play right into the hands of the fraudsters- distracting from the core issue of the problem- fraud -and potential solutions to the epidemic of fraud - which help enable a whole new generation of fraudsters all aided and abetted by petty bickering ,distractions and idiotic political gamesmanship.

    you can't force people to cooperate. and they won't of their own accord because they don't all agree.
    majority rules, that's about the best you can do, unless I'm missing something

    Oh, you say that, and also said this, "it really doesn't matter to me who or when the investigations started or who gets the credit", but were the one to bring up the fraud topic as part of a diversion from the negative remarks concerning the CDC leadership's poor decisions. How does the possible catching of more fraud make an anti-vaccine stance leading to more sick with measles better? How is this whataboutism not part of the pettiness you are decrying?

    They failed at keeping the public safe from diseases with the cutting of support for vaccines and disease monitoring. Their still doing the job of fighting Medicare fraud doesn't make up for that. Not even if they truly are stopping more fraud. Past statements of good news from this government have ending up being just hype enough times for me to doubt what has happened here to be more than what past administrations have done on stopping this fraud.

    It is long appeared that fraud is very much full-spectrum. But there have been numerous indications that over the past 18 months, federal publicity of fraud schemes has been filtering to highlight blue-tinted fraud, exaggerating as needed, while hiding or putting up blinders to similar red-tinted fraud.

    I used to find it hard to image. But not anymore, after seeing one of fraud's grandmasters elevated to an oval room, now gilded.

    To bring discussion back to title

    Trump signs executive order aimed at reducing number of recommended childhood vaccines

    https://us.cnn.com/2026/08/10/politics/trump-vaccine-autism-rfk

    Or consult your preferred provider. This may survive Judicial review, TBD. But for now we read:

    “Very simply: Large amounts of vaccine, large amounts of — like vats — of vaccine are currently pumped into your child’s body,” Trump said, at another point comparing the amount of vaccine given to children as “the size of a bottle of soda.”

    This is an interesting quote calling for quantification :). Not knowing how big vats are, I take a bottle of soda as 12 ounces = 355 milliliters. What volume of vaccines are now being pumped? Current CDC childhood vaccination schedule and overlaid dose sizes are from sources linked in this image.

    First year - 10.25 milliliters.
    Second year - 1.25 milliliters.
    Total through 6th year - 14.5 milliliters. This is a vat or soda bottle in need of concern from compliant agreeing readers. It is also the volume of 3 teaspoons.

    Insanity is for readers to define or distract from.
