A few weeks ago Defend Public Health posted a report called “Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder: What We Already Know From Scientific Evidence”. The report discusses all the factors and shows why vaccines are not a factor. If we had known that RFKJr was

Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser, who will be a presenter at the ACIP meeting on the topic of COVID19 vaccines, states that natural immunity following infection is better than that from the vaccine. Well there is something she isn’t telling you. You only get natural immunity AFTER infection, any

OpEd by @jimalwine.bsky.social and me asking Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs to take control of all vaccines and to join The Rebellion…err..the West Coast Health Alliance along with CA, WA, OR, and HI.

VIRAL INFECTIONS. All viral infections leave you damaged in greater or lesser ways. Maybe it’s lasting lung damage, development of cancer, loss of immunity, MS, long COVID, paralysis, shingles, loss of cognitive function. The list can go on, but the take home lesson is

The virus that caused the 1918 influenza pandemic was a novel flu virus that transfered from an animal, probably a pig, to humans (animal to human transfer is called zoonosis). This is believe to have started at a farm in Kansas and spread to a nearby army base

RFKJr is going to release a report on the “causes” of Autism. This report will be tainted by conspiricy theories and pseudoscience. There are many years of real scientific research about the causes of Autism, solid science that Kennedy denies. And all the

This government is throwing so much at us randomly that we might feel overwhelmed, helpless. But no, we are actually in charge if we choose to be. The best thing to do is fixate on one issue and fight for it with all your

In Minneapolis an 8 and a 10 year old were killed by gun violence. They were kids who might have been happy to be back at school, happy to see classmates after the summer. They may have been destined to be great leaders, doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs…we will

The spectacle in Alaska was sickening. What a show of rampant ass kissing. I suppose Republicans will soon propose a bill to make Russian the national language, and have a hammer and sickle inserted over the Stars and Stripes. Trumpers must immediately give up beer and start drinking Stolichnaya.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is as much to blame for the death of the police office at the CDC as the shooter…maybe more so. He is a twisted lier. Republican America, and especially Senitor Cassady, you should be ashamed that you allowed this psycho to have his way with vaccines

The decent of the US to a third or forth world country accelerates. Russell Vought, a person with no scientific expertise, no knowledge of the scientific process, no comprehension of the health and economic benefits of science and NIH funding. Has declared, with no evidence, that NIH

The number of posts by RFK Jr’s anti-vax minion bots has gone way up on this site. It’s the first wave of RFK Jr’s campaign to level the playing field between us and pathogens. With joy they usher in a period of suffering, perminate damage and death for

I read something today that made me laugh, it was one of those nearly uncontrolable laughs that takes over your body and brings tears to your eyes. It felt so good….its been a long time. Note to self, even though the US is going to shit take a moment once in a while to

When RFK Jr and is league of demonic anti-Vaxers get their way, and vaccines are impossible to get in the US, the pathogens will have their way. Really. Far too many Americans live in a dream world where they have never seem the ravages of vaccine-

In this article, @jimalwine.bsky.social and I ask a painful question that we think is worth considering, given the evidence. Do Republicans want some of us to die?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and his minions at the Faux Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Disease Continuation (CDC) and the Advisory Committee for Independence for Pathogens (ACIP) are gleefully removing all those pesky vaccines. Finally, they will level the playing

Join @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and write to your elected officials to tell them that the proposed Medicaid cuts will KILL and COST MORE! Oppose Medicaid cuts, write your elected officials here: actionnetwork.org/letters/medi...

Please protest Medicaid cuts, they will kill and cost more.

Let’s talk about Thimerosal, the mercury containing preservative that is present in extremely small amounts in a few vaccines in the US. RFKJr and his followers want to frighten you about it to make you be fearful of vaccinations. But let’s consider this, Thimerosal is

News: The American Academy of Pediatrics says it will no longer take part in the process of ACIP meetings. “We won’t lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children’s health,” the group's president says. www.statnews.com/2025/06/25/c...

RFKJR wants to mandate glucose monitors for all Americans. These are the same people who fought mask mandates. And let remember that his unqualified nominee for surgeon general owns a glucose monitor company.

Wait! Trump’s trying to diverted our attention with the attack on Iran so we will not see that the senate’s big beautiful bill is even crueler than the house version with greater cuts in Medicaid and an attack on the ACA. He’s diverting attention from

Let’s not forget that Trump canceled the nuclear agreement with Iran in his first term. If he hadn’t we wouldn’t be at war. The US can be expect many casulties and terrorist attacks on US soil.

The #SCOTUS ruling on gender-affirming care uses incredibly tortured logic. "SB1 does not exclude any individual from medical treatments on the basis of transgender status,” the decision stated. “Rather, it removes one set of diagnoses – gender dysphoria, gender

What kind of a world will my 5 year old granddaughters grow into? I won’t see it but right now I have a part in forming it. So I will write, protest, vote and do what is needed to have no kings, to return to science, have separation of church and state and return to kindness and caring.

We were sailing on that boat two year ago in French Polynesia, the island is Bora Bora. It’s hard to believe how much has changed since then. We may sail away again.

JFKJr denies that pathogens, like bacteria, viruses, fungi and paracytes, are a major cause of infectious disease. He wants you doubt that pathogens cause disease. As a result of his misguided beliefs he is hellbent on

More of this! “We hope you will welcome this dissent, which we modeled after your Great Barrington Declaration” (sick burn)

I have heard the Trump administration called the regime, why not the League of Satan?

As so many in America, and in the news media, watch with fascination the Mush-Trump cage match, popcorn in hand, I can’t help but think about how many terrible things are going on in the country and the world that we are being divert from.

Outstanding new piece by @nurseteria.bsky.social and Donna Gaffney about why taking fluoride out of water is a bad idea. progressive.org/op-eds/rfk-j...

It is so worrisome that possibly 40% (or more) of Americans will actually think that Biden was a robotic clone.

The anti-vaxer-in-chief is slowly removing children’s vaccines. In the process he will level the playing field between children and vaccine-preventable diseases. Guess what - the pathogens will win.

It may be important for people to know that Medicaid has different names in different states. For example in my home state of Arizona the Medicaid program is called the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). So people who benefit from

While this article, about saving American science, shows that people are thinking and getting ideas, it misses the fact that there is no way American science can be restored to

I don’t think the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is something most of you think about everyday but I’ve written a lot about it and the harms of spreading the lab leak hypothesis without evidence. There is no scientific evidence supporting lab leak but there is a lot supporting its zoonotic origin (an

The funding cuts to scientific research aren’t like little annoyances or something. People are losing their careers, homes, and financial security because Robert F. Kennedy will do literally anything to keep people from realizing what a fraud he is. Anything.

The demand for additional trials and placebo controls is just a ploy to slow or halt vaccine availability in the US. Nothing more. It won’t make American healthy. This is insane.

RFKJr, told parents to do their own research about vaccination knowing that well-funded anti-vax organizations have polluted the web with their misinformation and lies. Parents will find misinformation long before the truth. If they find the truth the right

I think “negative criminal” is sort of a double negative so they are good guys.

The President of the US wore a blue suit at the Pope’s funeral. I had to paraphrase the great 1967 song by Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels: “Devil with the blue suit”. I wonder if there were exorcists there?

Happy thought for the day: The saguaro cacti are budding and blooming in the Sonoran Desert springtime.

To all the scientists in the US, there is a Trump war on science. If you think it will pass and things will return to normal you are dead wrong. If you think that you can just do business as usual in the safety of the lab, you are dead wrong. You have to fight back, to keep the damage

Mehmet Oz: "It's your patriotic duty to take care of yourself. Healthy people don't consume healthcare resources." So why isn’t Oz pushing back against RFKJr’s anti-vax movement that will result in a decline in health? He must know that many unvaccinated children will be permanently damaged
