Makary himself is not a reliable weather vane of science, as I explained in my article on PragerU.

That’s why any who defend MAHA doctors is worthy of contempt and scorn.
Walker is right about covid myths.

Agree, NIH staff saved the day. Despite their heroic effort, the bad multiyear funding (MYF) policy from Vought's OMB means fewer grants, fewer cures, & research workforce brain drain.
Any NIH appropriations bill must include language that limits the use of MYF in FY2026 - or this trend continues.

@aatishb.bsky.social got me on the record. “My colleagues did an outstanding job to work their butts off to approve things.” I swear it's true. It's still true at #NIH.

When RFK Jr posted a video on X saying the government would no longer recommend Covid-19 vaccination in pregnancy—despite the proven benefits of such vaccination & the risks of infection in pregnancy—2 physicians stood at his side, smiling & nodding, Drs Makary & Bhattacharya. It was frustrating 😡
NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

Anti-vaccine sentiment is now a load-bearing plank in the Republican platform.
Democrats haven’t budged on the need for school vaccine requirements since 2019. Republicans have consumed so much disinformation that their support has declined by 27% since then.
