Ooohhh. I’ve been looking forward to this.

The whole administration in one quote

Vinay Prasad: From “RCT or STFU” to “whatever you say Mr. Kennedy.”

Again, watching the press conference today reinforces the point that the most valid criticism of my work is that I greatly underestimated the threat.

We just had development of a novel vaccine, during a pandemic, in less than a year, which saved millions of lives. Tell me how science is broken? "Misinformation has made people not trust science" or: "Grifters have made people distrust actual scientists" or: "Quackery is rampant" Those are true

This is the most anti-science thing I have watched today. What is most shocking about this is all of these statements are being made without any scientific evidence to back it up. There are very few safe options to treat pain and fever in pregnancy so this is also an attack on women's health.

this is really serious. if it continues, we’ll start to see states make do their own drug labels in some manner, possibly through collabs with other states, similar to what we are seeing with ACIP recs

Makary and Prasad

Let me make this very clear: Being sarcastic about sexual assault while also anti science, and scaring pregnant people into not appropriately treating their pain while simultaneously belittling the lives of autistic people is really a full encapsulation of this administration.

I am speechless

At least 99% of the NYTimes commenters see through this propaganda. That’s encouraging.

I mean everyone’s welcome to opinions and all but what part was sensationalist hyperbole now? Because it appears you’ve shifted your stance on what was absolute lunacy as … things actually happened

On this historic National Tylenol Causes Autism Day, the "RFK Jr makes some good points" people have been officially upgraded from assholes to extra-strength assholes.

Antivax rhetoric and incompetence at ACIP: Dr. @gorskon.bsky.social takes a deep dive into the presentations trying to undermine COVID-19 vaccines, and explains why they fall short: small numbers, bad studies, and more. sciencebasedmedicine.org/robert-f-ken... via @sciencebasedmedicine.org

there it is. was wondering when the grift would be revealed.

Reminder: personally attacking a journalist for criticizing the government is not normal agency conduct. It's a pretty clear attempt to intimidate the journalist, and from those that complained about government censorship, like Secretary Kennedy did, the hypocrisy is jarring.

People will always find it in extremely poor taste to be judged merely for what they have said & done, rather than by how they imagine themselves to be.

As a bonus, government censors are spreading blatant lies about me in the press. Yet, any concern about propaganda attacks by my own government is just me being “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous.”

I can’t believe he hasn’t invited you on his podcast for some good faith discussion and debate.

In a new Unherd interview, Martin Kulldorff refused to answer whether he supports vaccine mandates. He co-authored a paper on how nonmedical exemptions can trigger outbreaks of pertussis. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

This happens to women all the time.

My identity was trying to warn people that these guys were dangerous. Many others did the same only to be greeted with contempt and vitriol for our efforts. We failed to stop them, but at least we tried.

Thanks John Oliver

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Now with comments... Lots of comments (A long thread) 1/n

From fall 2024, podcasts with @wendyorent.bsky.social, desperately trying to sound the alarm bells about Kennedy and his enablers. All summarily dismissed as “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous”.

Pathetic revisionist history to defend a man who can’t even count. rumble.com/v6z2qag-weve...

“Sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous”

The New York Times piece today about US science is terrible and wrong—in many ways. I could write a whole article about this, but as one example: “To close observers, the original crisis began well before any of this…” No. I’m a close observer of science, and this is incorrect.

Me in 2024: RFK Jr. and his enablers are dangerous. Please pay attention. I am begging you. YouTube influencers in 2025: “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous”

Revisionist history propaganda. Here’s the truth they hide from their readers.

In fact, Jay reminds me of Lysenko. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

Necessary voices in these troubling times. Thank you @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social for this important book. Looking forward to reading it.

There is truth to the idea that media outlets are drawn to negative, sensational news. Everyone writes about Florida eliminating vaccine mandates. Yet we have a letter signed by over 1,000 Florida physicians opposing this decision, and no outlet would published it. They don't even respond at all.

Take these people seriously. Exactly right.

Hey @wendyorent.bsky.social I think “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous” should be the new name of the podcast/therapy sessions.

One of my “documentary” chapters was about this linguistic technique of calling everything a “hysterical overreaction to numb people to grave risks, covid in this case. rumble.com/v6z2psa-how-...

Another feature of the “you’re being hysterical” character is that those who acknowledge that things are bad today, blame the exact same people who tried to warn them. Those who identified the problem before them are responsible for making it real, somehow.

The conclusion to this book is all about Dr. Flier, his embrace of Vinay, his inappropriate insults to those who tried to warn him, and his sudden awakening to the problem after it was too late.

The “you’re being hysterical” guy was such a common trope. No matter what was happening, he was always there to tell you your overreacting.

The man was showing Vaxxed 3 Authorized to Kill last year. It was obvious he was dangerous. But some people just didn’t care then and they don’t really care today either.

Props to the CDC staff who presented the science at yesterday’s #ACIP meeting. Key points relating to #CovidVaccination in #pregnancy… 1. No increased risk of any problems in pregnancy, at birth, or for infants 1/ www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

My sensationalist hyperbole ridiculousness from fall 2024. sciencebasedmedicine.org/too-late/

One of these people listened to what I had to say and the other is just mouthing off.

Click to a random spot in this documentary. Listen to a random podcast with @wendyorent.bsky.social. Read any article on Science Based Medicine. Turn to a random page of We Want Them Infected. Tell me, what was “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous” & be very specific about how I overreacted.

Put another way, these guys are the problem, not me. Many of us tried to warn about them. Were we all “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculousness”? Are these guys doing a good job?

Last year at this time I was warning about these guys. So when someone says I am “sensationalist hyperbole ridiculous”, they are saying my warnings were overblown because things are going just fine. Go ahead. Make that case. sciencebasedmedicine.org/notadrill/
