May we continue to hold people responsible for shilling false hope to desperate parents:

A team has been charged with murder, after their “treatment” killed a child 😢

(Ps: hyperbaric chambers ARE good treatments for some things - but not for ADHD or autism)

NEW @motherjones.com: I spoke to HHS employees grappling w/ whether to take buyouts or stay & fight for public health as leadership seem hellbent on undermining them.

Also has a scoop: NIH isn't sending cancer researchers to a major national conference next month

‘Health Security Is At Risk’: Inside the Purge of HHS
Employees are grappling with buyout offers as public health crises mount. “Somebody has to stay to help clean up the mess that they’re most likely going to make,” one said.

Worth pointing out that while there had previously been 5 cases in the Texas measles outbreak that were classified as vaccinated (and that RFK jr mentioned in his opinion piece) that number was revised down in today’s update to just 2 cases.
The other 257 cases were unvaccinated or unknown.🧪 #IDsky

Excellent 2020 piece by @PeterHotez ...

"In the US, #vaccine hesitancy is contributing to 3 public health threats: the return of measles, deaths from flu & needless cases of cervical cancer." 

The risks from an MMR vax are vanishingly small, esp compared to the devastating

I keep thinking about the Matthew Desmond figure on how much it would cost to pull Americans out of poverty: ~175 billion. The 148 billion Musk is reported to have lost could have made SO MANY LIVES BETTER. Instead it's evaporated into the ether of him being a hateful dick, loathed by millions.
It's probably premature to suggest Musk is cooked but I wrote about the dangerous game he's playing. how the protests are working, how people are mad, and how you can really see the contours of how the whole thing could collapse for him www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
