When trusted voices disappear from social media, misinformation spreads more easily. Silencing physicians and other experts weakens the public’s access to accurate information. When institutions like hospitals discourage doctors from speaking out, everyone loses. www.statnews.com/2026/05/13/h...

🎉About. Damn. Time. 🎉 So much damage already done by RFKJ’s anti-science nonsense, but at least this ruling overrides the vaccine changes. Let’s hope 🧠🪱 soon makes a speedy exit from the admin and goes back to whatever it is that rich nepo health influencer dilettantes do.

This is essential viewing—thank you Dr Green for sharing it It’s a genuine tragedy to see the NIH Director embracing censorship so gleefully; his response to Dr Green (“it’s bad science!”) is one of the most repulsive things I’ve seen from Jay Bhattacharya, amidst a long list of vile utterances

My most unconventional view is that I think people who wrote stuff like this hold a sliver of blame for the loss of public trust.

“I’m not a doctor, and I don’t want to have to do all the research,” said Cori Folkman, 48, a mother of two near Seattle, who is switching her children to a pediatrician who was vocal about sticking to the A.A.P. schedule. “I want to be able to rely on my doctor to know” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s HHS announcement about the childhood immunization schedule: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

1/ Well, he did it. He actually did it. RFK Jr. just issued a unilateral directive to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This isn’t based on new data or new evidence, and he bypassed every scientific and clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.

Can't join us this February in Copper Mountain? On-Demand is a great alternative. Same great agenda, including case presentations, and credit options but on your schedule! Reduced tuition options available for ID Fellows. Complete info is available at www.wintercourse.org #IDSky #MedSky

You can't trust ACIP vaccine recommendations, a committee that has abandoned evidence in favor of conspiracies. Truly a sad time in the history of human health. I fully agree with this message from reputable medical advocacy organizations. www.idsociety.org/news--public...

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm. As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

As demonstrated by @thevaccinationstation.org in this infographic, Dr. TracyBethHoeg’s and Dr. Pebsworth claim that the U.S. is an outlier on hepatitis B vaccine birth dose in #ACIP today was incorrect.

Here is Jason Goldman's beautiful, amazing takedown of the whole sham #ACIP meeting today. (2 parts) So glad he said what every expert in the field is feeling today (and all year).

IDSA liaison to ACIP, Flor Munoz, MD, FIDSA, questions the ACIP’s proposed decision to change the schedule for newborn hepatitis b vaccinations.

HICPAC is gone, but glad to see @apic-association.bsky.social and @sheaepi.bsky.social lead the way with this new advisory group #IDSky apic.org/news/apic-an...

I’m surprised that the “evidence-based” medicine gurus who mocked any pandemic recommendation that lacked multiple randomized trials, are now sitting by quietly while Tylenol is blamed for autism without randomized trial evidence.

It's difficult to overstate the threat that unscientific actions pose. I wrote about this week's ACIP meeting and my concerns about the discussions they had.

The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

Stated at ACIP: MMRV isn’t acceptable for kids <4 to prevent measles, mumps, rubella & varicella. ❌ False. MMRV/MMR vaccines are safe & highly effective. Studies show only a very small increase in febrile seizure risk after the 1st dose.

1/ On Thurs and Fri, ACIP—the external body that sets vaccine policy—will hold a special session. The MMRV vaccine will be discussed and we’re expecting a few falsehoods to start making the rounds about the vaccine and febrile seizures. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you should know👇

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
