Medscape: Why the Test-Negative Design Is Our Most Vital Tool for Vaccine Effectiveness by Demetre C. Daskalakis @drdemetre.bsky.social @medscape.com wb.md/4dukUmX

"RFKJr's continued attacks on vaccines are more apparent when one considers his financial disclosures" and other Friday musings brought to you by D3 @drdemetre.bsky.social @dbj63.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/rfk-... @msnowcomms.bsky.social

NIH & CDC Director’s response to hantavirus: Um, ah, um, dunno, will need to look that up UK Health Security Agency Response: Specialist army team & medics parachute onto Tristan da Cunha to deliver crucial medical support since a British national on the island was suspected of being infected 1/2

From @lenasun.bsky.social article: "Three top voice medical experts and Dysphonia International said there is no scientific basis for the claim that the flu vaccine is behind Kennedy’s condition; there is evidence to suggest a potential association between dystonias and certain drug use."

This webinar today from @protectourcare.org was terrific--Gov. Josh Green, @drannieandrews.com, and @drdemetre.bsky.social on #measles and how RFK Jr is committing “public health malpractice" through his anti-vax and disinformation campaigns.

Public health expert @drdemetre.bsky.social is standing up for science in the face of Trump administration attacks. "The CDC is now a weapon. That is why I left. The weaponization of public health is happening, and I am not crying wolf." Read our cover feature: mrf.lu/qCf5

Replacing the US child vaccine schedule with Denmark’s schedule is negligence, writes @drdemetre.bsky.social “When a jet engine fails at 30,000 feet, it’s not the manual writer who pays the price. It’s the passengers — in this case, America’s children.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Shoutout to WHO for confirming (again) that vaccines don’t cause autism. Shoutout to ACIP for… whatever it is they’re doing. Performance art? www.who.int/news/item/11...

You could get one of these too! Or maybe you want the sticker version? That is available too at firedbutfighting.org/shop.

My comments with @anacabrera.bsky.social and @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social on @msnowreports.bsky.social on what Congress could do now for oversight as CDC scientists are stifled from health matters like vaccine discussions

Couldn’t be more thrilled to share this news! @drdemetre.bsky.social has been a beacon in public health and infectious disease for decades and now we have the honor of him leading us and our larger community at @callen-lorde.org. Welcome home, Demetre!

"Misguided discussions don’t remain theoretical. They shape public perception, influence future votes, and trigger ripple effects in vaccine supply and coverage." Check out the "D3" thoughts on the ACIP meeting tomorrow from @drdemetre.bsky.social, Dan Jernigan, and me

Commemorating #WorldAIDSday is an act of defiance against ideology driven policies that will end our progress to end the epidemic.

@drdemetre.bsky.social, former director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, reveals the real reasons we receive warnings about the risks of prescribing DoxyPEP on Dads and Daddies #dadsanddaddies #podcast #podcastclips #gaypodcast #gay #queerpodcast #lgbtqpodcast

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, talks about the specter of RFK, Jr. haunting him throughout his career on ‘Dads and Daddies’ #dadsanddaddies #podcast #podcastclips #gaypodcast #gay #queerpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #cdc

This seems to be something impacting USG sites outside the US. We need to track this closely.

Wow.

“Do not trust the CDC website and quite certainly do not trust anything that RFK says around your own health” Former CDC official @drdemetre.bsky.social says plainly that information coming out of the CDC cannot be trusted under Robert F. Kennedy’s leadership.

New #LetsTalkID out now!🎙️ @matih-id.bsky.social and @drdemetre.bsky.social explore the current state of public health.

"When you remove scientists from science, you don’t get truth. You get ideology. " Signed D3- Deb, Dan, and @drdemetre.bsky.social

Fire him.

Weaponization of the premier public health agency in the country for personal clout and gain. The CDC website should not be trusted given the fact that it is controlled by people who will profit from spurious and false attempts to link vaccines to autism. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

Thanks @callen-lorde.org for the honor of receiving one of the 2025 community health awards and a fabulous night celebrating OUR community!! Pictured with #icons and #legends #lgbtq #health

Good trouble ❤️ D3

Thank you 😍

I’m not ready to give up on MMWR yet either as I know the 1000s of scientists who will publish great and timely work if empowered to do so. BUT…. Website says current issue Sept 28th- that is not timely. In prior shutdowns the important scientific findings were still continued

Proud to stand with @drdemetre.bsky.social and @dbj63.bsky.social to speak on scientific integrity and the violent attack at CDC fueled by misinformation- Thank you @frontlinepbs.bsky.social for a well-done documentary that covers the impact of recent policies on public health

Thank you for this huge honor from a legendary organization!!! ❤️

Proud to call @drdemetre.bsky.social our alumnus! 🤩

A standing ovation for me and @drdebhoury.bsky.social during a celebration of C. Everett Koop’s legacy! His moral courage should inspire all of us in #PublicHealth and #Medicine. Speaking truth to power and sticking to the science can change the world!

I have discovered the cause of autism—Gold standard science… watch! 1) RFK Jr distorts science to blame women. 2) Women tired of having him make 💩 up get headaches. 3) some women take Tylenol 4) some women have babies 5) some babies are autistic 6) Therefore RFK Jr. CAUSES AUTISM
