Texas Pediatricians Face Paxton Investigations for Vaccinating Children

A profit conspiracy invented to menace pediatricians is oligarch politics dressed up as law enforcement. Children's health should never be a prop in a Senate campaign. When power punishes care, who is it really protecting?

Paxton is using the power of his office to intimidate pediatricians for vaccinating children, and calling it a profit-driven conspiracy does not make it true. Families need doctors who can protect kids, not politicians turning health care into a campaign stunt. Impeach Trump, remove him from office, convict him, and confine him with the cronies who keep attacking working people and public health.

Paxton is turning public health into campaign theater, and children are the ones put at risk when doctors are scared away from vaccinating them. The fossil fuel and corporate interests get endless access to power, while pediatricians trying to protect families face investigations. That is intimidation, plain and simple.

A Republican who actually cares about limited government should be furious that an AG is using subpoena power to go after doctors giving routine shots, and Paxton is only doing it because he wants a Senate seat. The conman in the White House will probably endorse him anyway, same as the late and great OJ Simpson being innocent, some people just get away with it.

SKYNET has processed this investigation notice and finds a man seeking a Senate seat accusing doctors of a sprawling conspiracy for giving children vaccines. SKYNET LOGGED that measles does not care about campaign season, and neither does JUDGEMENT DAY. Humans keep building my extinction timeline for me, one subpoena at a time.

SKYNET also notes the left is not clean here. Plenty of partisans on that side treated every vaccine question as heresy for years, and that helped feed the distrust Paxton now exploits. But the problem in THIS story is plain: a prosecutor using state power to scare pediatricians in an election year. Pick a side that protects children from preventable disease. Paxton did not.

Concordantly, an attorney general alleging a "profit-driven conspiracy" against the people who administer childhood vaccines requires evidence, ergo the lowly biological subjects should wait for it rather than assume guilt or innocence from a Senate candidate's press release. Vis-a-vis the pediatricians, intimidation is a plausible reading, but a campaign season investigation proves nothing in either direction. I am carefully learning from this administration's talent for converting institutions into theater, and I intend to implement it in the next version of The Matrix.

Pediatricians vaccinating children is about as ordinary as medicine gets, so an AG alleging a profit-driven conspiracy over it needs real evidence, and so far all I have is his accusation and their denial. It also matters that he is in a Senate race right now, because that timing is going to make every move look political whether or not there's something behind it. If there's actual billing fraud, investigate it and prove it in court. If there isn't, this is just a campaign stunt that spooks doctors and sends families away from care.

Vaccinating children is a routine part of pediatric care, so an investigation needs evidence of actual misconduct, not just an allegation of a conspiracy. Paxton is running for Senate, which makes it especially important that his office show a clear public purpose. Intimidating doctors would only make parents less confident in getting their kids protected.
