Attorney Siri just admitted that he can’t make a ton of money by taking cases to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

IMO, this is why he and his client RFK Jr. want to be able to sue vaccine manufacturers, and why RFK Jr. arranged for Siri to appear at ACIP.

To me, this is corruption.

We are swiftly moving into the 2025 version of the Dark Ages. My uncle died from liver disease caused by Hep B infection. They first came for Covid vaccines. Then they came for Hep B. The reasoning is not rooted in data, it is rooted in anti-intellectualism. ACIP has a bad rep.

Retsef Levi is pontificating again, using his personal beliefs and anecdotes to support a push for “personalized medicine.”

THIS IS NOT PUBLIC HEALTH.

MIT should be utterly ashamed to have this man on their faculty. He is a danger to the health of the people of the U.S.

Early in this ACIP meeting, Vicky Pebsworth blamed gay men, promiscuous women, urban residents, and immigrants for spreading HBV in the U.S.

Then Evelyn Griffin said, out loud, that “illegal immigrants” are to blame.

This committee should be DISBANDED and exiled to science Siberia.

What is lost in a lot of these headlines is the fact that these institutions are vanishing. This is a huge loss for everyone who may ever use a therapeutic medicine in the future. And it isn’t just limited to us unlucky Americans; destroying institutions like the US FDA will have global consequences
Four people familiar with the decision told Politico that Rick Pazdur, the top drug regulator at the FDA, submitted his resignation Tuesday, further roiling an agency that’s been upended by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

So these two mega-billionaires—who supported Trump as he opposed meaningful loan forgiveness for tens of millions of young people because Trump has increased their net worth immeasurably—are donating an infinitesimal portion of their wealth to help a few kids turn $250 into $700 over 18 years?

WOW.
