Every single day, someone in MAHA demands that scientists do something that violates the ethical principles that resulted directly from the exposure of the Tuskegee study.
One of the new ACIP goons is advocating for randomized, placebo controlled trials of the MMR vaccine. This would be like now randomizing seat belts for kids or car seats for infants.

It’s so laughable that people this stupid are in charge of our health.

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject.

I care for children in the hospital on inpatient & consult services.

Most weeks there are at least a few kids admitted with vaccine preventable diseases.

Often in children who can’t get vaccinated themselves.

15 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen a single one admitted with vaccine injury.

Let's model deferring to experts and not pretending to know everything. 👍
Carney on submarine procurement process: "And just to be clear, the experts will be making these decisions in case anyone's worried that I think I've developed a deep understanding of submarine warfare from playing Battleship when I was 12 years old." #cdnpoli

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

So disappointing and sad for the public health community and the CDC to have RFKjr oust Dr. Susan Monarez, and Dr. Demetre Daskalakis who are great advocates for public health.

So far just in the last hour or so, director of CDC and 3 top personnel, including 2 center directors and the chief medical officer.
Master departure of senior CDC officials. Politically motivated firing of FEMA personnel.

We have entered a dangerous period for American health and security.

The United States has never been more vulnerable to a biological attack.

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.
Americans can and should demand better from Congress on Medicare. People are seriously struggling during their peak earning years so the expectation should be that the American healthcare would be kicking their asses when their incomes drop by 60-80%. The GOP has already told us to drop dead.

“including a vaccine for hepatitis B given at birth that is credited with nearly eliminating maternal transmission of that disease.”

105 controlled vaccine trials.
110 yrs. 1.8 M participants.
All in one live, crowd-sourced sheet.

Built by contributors worldwide to counter the myth that vaccines weren’t tested with controls.

Quiet work still breaks through the noise.
