It may not be woke to say that an infidelitous antisemitic heroin addicted activist who is using anabolic steroids and psychedelics shouldn’t be determining the fate of US children, by my lord, someone’s got to say it.

4. Mark Epstein: “I’ve been recently told the reason they’re going to be releasing ... is that they’re sanitizing these files. There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it. That’s what I was told by a pretty good source.”

Not only is it infuriating that guys like RFK Jr and Dr Oz are destroying public trust in vaccines by falsely linking them to autism, but it's just fucking embarassing that we have those two dipshits in charge of (formerly) prestigious institutions containing some of the top scientists and doctors

As we said in our article today, Robert F. Kennedy MUST GO.

This man is more dangerous to the health and lives of the people of the U.S. than any other cabinet member.
The US is on track to lose its measles elimination status in months. RFK needs to go.
Canada has lost its measles elimination status and the U.S. is likely to be next. These failures are the result of the anti-vaccination movement, bolstered by the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ...

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

RFK Jr has got to go
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

The idea that an “evidence based claim” that vaccines don’t cause autism requires conclusively proving a negative is, of course, preposterous and goes against actual principles of empiricism and philosophy of science

It is not just credible but a verified fact that the "link" between MMR vaccine and autism is manufactured and fraudulent

"but all the other vaccines"

THIS.

Also, I can't help but think of Claudine Gay being forced out of the Harvard presidency over trumped-up accusations of plagiarism and tolerating antisemitism.

While Summers was questioning the intellectual capacity of women while president. And sexually harassed at least one woman.
It says a lot about whose voices matter in higher ed that Larry Summers is still allowed to teach his college students, while Jessica Adams* is not.

Exactly!!!!!
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I have been feeling depressed and discouraged that this man has the power and influence he does at my school and in my profession

And I am a tenured professor at Harvard! How much more protected can I be?

Imagine how STUDENTS feel. Junior faculty. This quote nails it

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

It would be more helpful to this world if Larry Summers retired due to his shame rather than Harvard revoking his tenure and making him some sort of martyr for the pedo lobby.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.
