An American doctor working with a medical missionary organization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has tested positive for Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the missionary group said Monday.

MASSIVE increase in (unproven) Leucovorin prescriptions for children with autism linked to media hype, #misinformation, and unverified anecdotes...👇 "...an increase of over 24-fold compared with the 2023 to 2025." See: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Yes. Ivermectin, Zelenko protocol, and other conspiracy garbage is fully activated. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Perfect example of how the republican here is using manufactured rage over Covid to justify RFKs antivaccine agenda.

"So you agree RFK Jr should resign?. You're a pharmacist, Buddy. You know better than this." -- damn -- Auchincloss is not playing around with Rep. Carter

Ivermectin is already being pushed as a cure for hantavirus and now Ebola. Every new outbreak becomes a gift to health disinformation spreaders who create fear, then monetize it.

Oh look! The dude whose legacy is RFK Jr. just lost his own primary. RFK Jr. will remain his legacy. 👇🏻

Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), YouTube, Snap (SNAP.N), and TikTok have reached settlements in the first case set for trial in ​litigation seeking to force social media platforms to cover the costs school districts ‌incur to combat a youth mental health crisis they say the companies fueled.

The acting head of the ​U.S. Food and Drug Administration's drug center, Tracey Beth Hoeg, is expected to leave the agency just ‌days after Commissioner Marty Makary resigned, according to three people familiar with internal planning. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

🌍 The EU’s new Global Health Resilience Initiative aims to reshape health financing, surveillance and crisis preparedness — but critics warn its reliance on private finance could undermine the “health sovereignty” it promises. ✍️ @fargonaut.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu @vsrnka.bsky.social 📖⬇️& 🔁🙏

The European Commission just published the Global Health Resilience Initiative. - Open data - Clinical research - Fighting health misinformation Discover how EU research contributed: link.europa.eu/CXXPTr

The EU Commission on Wednesday (13 May) unveiled plans to step up investment in medical supply chains and national health services across the world as part of a Global Health Resilience Initiative — amid warnings that more cases of the hantavirus outbreak should be expected in the coming days.

RFK Jr. did HWAT kffhealthnews.org/public-healt...

Okay but why is RFK Jr. playing with the Cleveland Clinic's robotic hands while a patient is literally in the middle of open heart surgery bsky.app/profile/rbdw...

Released today!

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

and makary ended up approving the vapes anyways to save his job. a profile in cowardice and corruption

Makary's legacy at the FDA will be the abandonment of gold standard science. He allowed political interference into core agency functions. On vaccines & mifepristone, Makary rarely prioritized rigorous evidence. His one stand for high-quality science—on flavored vapes—cost him his job

You sell your soul to power because you think it will protect you. But the moment you become inconvenient, the machine you helped build will crush you too. That is why integrity matters: you don’t have to rely on their generosity, fear their punishment, or stay silent to survive.

🤞🏻🙏🏻 I’m hearing that Dr. Bolivar may be released today. Let's hope it's true. If that is true, I cannot even imagine how happy her daughter will be.

Three doctors who have served on state maternal mortality review committees told ProPublica that Ciji Graham’s death was preventable. “There were so many points where they [doctors] could have intervened,” one expert said. (Published January)

Makary keeps working amid questions over his FDA future

GET IN, DORKS! It's a watershed moment and we need YOUR HELP. 1/x @standupforscience.net was asked by independent members of the National Academies to support their letter to Congress calling for the reinstatement of the National Science Board. #saveNSB 🔗 www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter...

If you’re interested in hantavirus, I cannot recommend highly enough this episode of @kavehmd.bsky.social with the incredible @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social. She is an infectious disease expert with experience in outbreak control who lays it all out.

One characteristic of the men who currently lead the US health system: The “eew” factor They spew such creepy stuff, day in, day out (remember RFK Jr talking about the sperm count of teens? 🤯) I mean “under-babied”?

Ivermectin is back again. As before, it comes with more patients asking for it. And patients overdosing on veterinary ivermectin.

Great Jay. Looks both spiteful and stupid at the current moment. Hantavirus doesn't pose an imminent threat to the US, but there will be another pandemic and this is Bhattacharya's strategy.

Bhattacharya never pursued a residency in program or practiced clinical medicine. All who platformed and platform him, there were and are many, should hang their heads in shame. He’s an “economist”. Dwell on that

Started/going

Bhattacharya censoring CDC studies showing vaccines work, firing NIH staff who disagree with him, & banning health research that examines racial inequities RFK Jr firing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices An administration that adores censorship & hates freedom of speech 👇👇👇

That shithead Peter McCullough is promoting his "Emergency Contagion Kit" and his "Immune Defense Spray Bundle" 15% off with code "HANTA".

Here’s how Vinay Prasad’s “leaked” memo gave ammunition to cranks and quacks like this.

MAHA doctors debase themselves for Trump and he barely knows they exist.

President Donald Trump plans to fire Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, following months of chaos at one of the country’s most important health agencies, according to a person familiar with the matter.

RFK Jr. is a eugenicist. Plain and simple. He's ignorant of science and medicine and lives in a conspiracy-addled world of his own mind. He's is destroying American public health and biomedicine.

Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to the HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demanding answers on why a study on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness was blocked from appearing in the CDC’s flagship publication. Read more: ow.ly/JvY650YWi8P.

Because Jay Bhattacharya is a censor.

Okay, so a few things 🧵 1. There is in vitro evidence that ivermectin can inhibit importins (proteins that import things into the nucleus). However, hantaviruses, like Andes virus, do not have a phase of their replication cycle that requires them to go to the nucleus. ictv.global/report/chapt...

The weird thing is, ivermectin can help with some parasites. But viruses are not parasites!

This fucking guy...

I have a patient with cervical cancer on my service. She was the right age for the HPV vaccine when it launched. She's still the right age now. She didn't get it. And she doesn't believe the cancer diagnosis - she thinks it might be parasites. Refused chemo & radiation.

RFK Jr. is out for revenge against Cassidy

Anyone who’s paid attention to RFK Jr.’s antivax career over the last tweet decades knows that he’s vindictive af.

This is what unregulated AI looks like. No ethics. No accountability. No safety guardrails.

WTF NYTimes?!? Amy Acton had to deal with a Republican boss and also took crap from her own party for delaying the primary. Ohio was a model state for early pandemic response. H/T @ethicselizabeth.bsky.social

Antidepressants, vaccines, abortion, gender-affirming care -- there is abundant evidence that restricting it causes death, and anyone restricting it surely understands that and does it anyway

well you’re helping to kill them, so

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Makary is blocking a treatment for incurable melanoma bc the multiple trials its undergone were not RCTs. The drug is intended for patients for whom other cancer therapies have not worked. An RCT would require a control group to continue to use chemotherapy that previously had not worked for them.
