Handed a patient a printout of a CDC summary.
They were suspicious.
I pointed out the publication date.
It was from 2024.
“Oh, ok, so this is from when we could trust them.”

A CDC website that previously said vaccines do not cause autism has walked back that statement. It now repeats the skepticism that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced about the safety of vaccines.
C.D.C. Website No Longer Rejects Possible Link Between Autism and Vaccines
A previous version denied a link between vaccines and autism. It now echoes the doubts about that conclusion voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I really did not enjoy Jay Bhattacharya & Matthew Memoli’s screed against pandemic & virology research for the flagship blog of a “free-market think tank." Instead of getting mad, I accepted @jeremyfaust.bsky.social's kind invitation to take a factual & scientific blowtorch to it.
We've got a MASSIVE DEEP-DIVE rebuttal to the NIH leadership’s recent essay. They're arguing for a head-in-the-sand approach to pandemic preparedness.
The great @angierasmussen.bsky.social joins me in an extraordinarily detailed, line-by-line fact check.

I wrote this in September.
I was worried Dems would get nothing from the shutdown. I was later convinced that Dems might get ACA subsidies renewed in exchange for ending the shutdown, and this would be worth the stand-off.

Earlier today, some NIH employees received emails stating that they will not be paid during the shutdown. This was an unexpected, and likely unlawful, change in federal government policy.
