The headline should read: "The US anti-vaccine movement spearheaded by Robert F Kennedy Jr has killed a second unvaccinated child with measles." Make these cold-hearted, grifting child killers own their carnage. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A second child has died in the Texas measles outbreak

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to attend the child's funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday.

Some of the deeper skin lesions of hand foot and mouth also will not blanch. Like you, I think it's incredibly rare that a parent won't bring a child in when they see a funky rash.

Thank you for showing what I was thinking on seeing this dubious news story.

His first book meticulously documented the lies & disinformation of anti-science contrarian physicians during the pandemic. Dr. Howard now documents in "Everyone Else is Lying to You” how they parlayed their prevarications into positions of power within the HHS. A well-written but horrifying read.

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.

Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

How did that happen?🧵

Awesome.

Good. I was hoping they'd speak up given the fraudumentary premiers tonight.

Given all his so-called research relies on the diagnosis codes for autism, this public admission he made should disqualify all his fraudulent research.

This was the practice he was at through 2007 (Westside Pediatrics) that he left in 2007 to start his own practice. FYI he did have autism in his own practice, but admitted in a 4/2014 blog post his bias in UNDER DIAGNOSING it. Incredible. web.archive.org/web/20140716...

Thankfully, Washington and Hawaii quickly moved and revoked his license in their states soon after he surrendered his in Oregon. So he has no medical licenses anywhere.

Of course, vaccines have nothing to do with autism so Thomas seeing children with autism is independent of whether he gave the MMR vaccine or the M and M and R vaccines or no vaccine whatsoever. Unfortunately Paul Thomas is a quack who tells people that vaccines cause autism which is wrong.

You think they'd listen to one of their own--disgraced and de-licensed former pediatrician Paul Thomas who back in 2019 stated he tried splitting out the MMR and didn't see any difference. bsky.app/profile/cphi...

Chris Hickie mud fud @cphickie.bsky.social · 20d

Anti-vax former pediatrician Paul Thomas really needed to tell Trump/Kennedy ahead of that ridiculous Monday press conference that splitting out the MMR vaccine is useless. Here Thomas states he did this in his clinic from 2003 to 2007 and he states it did not prevent autism in his patients.

Ultimate irony is he's accused our side of doing what he just explicitly said his side is now doing.

Oh look, more Ivory Tower academics sitting around talking about stuff and doing nothing.

An opportune time to promote this virtual event coming up in a few weeks, hosted by the folks at @busph.bsky.social. (Too bad there’s not much to discuss!) Details and registration: publichealthconversation.org/conversation...

A lot of us have been screaming about this for a while and no one listened to us. And you won't listen now either.

Chris Hickie mud fud @cphickie.bsky.social · 7d

Sorry but none of you academics have done crap to prevent this. As a pediatrician has seen this happen in a state full of anti-vaxxers, I'm tired of you having these events where nothing happens. Stop talking if you're going to do something.

Richard Horton refused to acknowledge the fraud of Wakefield until literally another BMJ, BBC, and the Sunday Times metaphorically beat him over the head with all the abundant evidence that had been unearthed. I guess he hasn't changed a bit.

Not sure how this researcher can say leucovorin has *any* place in autism treatment given his own study cited in Stat News found no improvement. escholarship.org/content/qt03...

Very tough article to read because it shows how little respect for human subjects Mark and David Geier had. Thank you Dr. Morozov and Professor Caplan for your work exposing how little the Geiers cared about the children they experimented upon.

Stephan Lewandowsky @lewan.bsky.social · 15d

Terrific sleuthing and deep background research by @alex23.bsky.social into the horrors of "research" on autism conducted by none other than the person RFK Jr put in charge of ... you guessed it, the (non-existent) link between autism and vaccines:

From Willowbrook to the Geiers: Families Speak Out

“Once, I went down to the Geiers’ basement to use the bathroom. I saw several ladies packaging drug bottles into boxes. And in the bathroom I saw what appeared to be equipment from a chemistry lab.”

No respect for human subjects whatsoever by the Geiers. Horrible. Thank you Dr. Morozov and Professor Caplan for your work exposing how little the Geiers care about the children they experimented upon.

What's not funny is chiros backed Kennedy who is now going to help convince parents to take their kids to these quacks, especially if Kennedy can convince parents not to vaccinate. Political payola injuring children--what a great group they are.
