That "Yamey guy" is right....

Maple syrup under a microscope. That is why Canadians are so happy, we literally eat glitter. 😊 #Canada

Lab Leakers: "SARS-CoV-2 can't infect bats, so it must have been made in a lab". Science: "Let's do the experiment". SARS-CoV-2 behaves exactly like one would expect in a reservoir species - low-level infection, no overt disease, etc. Elegant study from Sato Lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

MAGA/MAHA did all it could to destroy the CDC "It will cause generational harm, which always makes me tear up. The harm that's going to come to people that don't even know what CDC was protecting them from." www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

The NIH recommends that everyone — men and women — do resistance training at least twice a week. Resistance training has been found to help prevent heart disease, improve long-term mobility and lower blood pressure. apnews.com/article/well...

Of note, Judge William Young when ruling against the Trump Administration in one of last year's NIH grant termination cases:

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

I hope this may prompt a tiny bit of self-reflection among the folks on Fox News who minimized COVID ("it's just a cold!") or pushed for mass infection ("we want them infected!") rather than mass vaccination But these folks are now in the MAGA/MAHA administration, so there'll be no self-reflection

New Mexico's multipronged strategy to end a 2025 measles outbreak could offer other states a model as the U.S. grapples with local and regional outbreaks of the highly infectious respiratory virus, said experts. Read more at: https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/publichealth/120351

Great thread.

"Give us your minerals or we cut off life-saving HIV medicines" is indeed extortion

The ruling brought an abrupt halt to the major changes that Mr. Kennedy, who has long been skeptical of vaccines, had set in motion, upending national vaccine policy and making sweeping revisions to the recommendations for what shots are given and when. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

RFK Jr. fired all of the legitimate scientific experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with unqualified political appointees. A judge just ruled that the new members were not appropriately appointed, so ACIP cannot meet this week to spread more misinformation.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled in favor of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social and issued a preliminary injunction against the CDC. The ruling pauses the Jan 2026 childhood immunization schedule revisions, blocks RFK Jr's 13 recent ACIP member appointments, and pauses all votes taken by the committee.

The goal in the world of global health is to bring an end to this scourge by 2030. A new drug looks as if it could do the job. n.pr/3Pbjq7n

And he is still refusing to say the HPV vaccine has been proven to be effective & safe There's an ongoing lawsuit involving the HPV vaccine; "Kennedy litigated the case at earlier stages and stands to profit if Merck loses" Always follow the money.... aacrjournals.org/cdnews/news/...

Incredible to lie that the HPV vaccine is deterimental. The HPV vaccine has been studied thoroughly. It is safe and has far-reaching benefits for both men and women.

Family in West Virginia have honey bees. This is what they did for Christmas on the hive. I've always been impressed with the care and attention they give their bees so wasn't too surprised when they sent this photo. 👍 🐝

What do you mean I'm not allowed on the stool? #caturday

Public health chaos and research funding cuts are inspiring nationwide pro-science protests against the Trump administration

Illinois COVID levels have been "High" or "Very High" every week since Dec 20, 2025, per the CDC. The PMC prevalence estimate is that 1 in 28 residents are actively infectious statewide, meaning a 59% chance of an exposure in a room of 25 people who aren't testing/isolating.

While people understandably are upset about the fracturing of jobs and the breakdown of associated benefits, we should be asking different questions to imagine a better system like: why should benefits be linked to occupational status at all?

If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health.

For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.

It is #Caturday everyone! Here is Meownu Reeves being cute.

Happy #caturday to those who celebrate! Sorry this post is so late, I had to wait in line for a seat.

Peaceful coexistence 🕊️ #caturday

Dr. Yamey is one of my favorite antiscience disinformation fighters. He's also on my figurative axis-of-kindness list, along with Dr. Hotez & Prof. Osterholm. I can picture any one of them holding a conference room door open for the others and each of them saying "oh no, after you" & not moving. 🙂

I approached the editor of the journal and they didn’t seem to care —what’s wrong with people?
