I titled this video accurately, unfortunately.

Fascinating read...

ICYMI: Thank you to everyone who attended our conversation on the precautionary principle with @joho.bsky.social and Sarah Masih of @airsupportproject.bsky.social this weekend. The recording is now available on our YouTube channel. youtu.be/TqShfY0Rsrk?...

“One place where we had some success was Florida.” Dr. Martin Kulldorff

"Household contacts of primary case participants vaccinated 6 months or less before onset had nearly one-half the infection risk compared with contacts of unvaccinated primary case participants."

👆Good article by @joho.bsky.social Science makes a lot of people with bad track records on medical policy very uncomfortable because it nullifies the tools they use to influence decision-making and bury errors. Institutional politics and back-room whisper campaigns can't make reality go away.

Dr. Always Wrong

With all that's happening in the world of science and medicine, Dr. John Ioannidis has nothing to say about Kennedy and has only praise for MAHA doctors. In his view, @gorskon.bsky.social and I at SBM are the real problem at this moment. We are "a total embarrassment for science." My latest.

Ouch

Checking in on MAHA day at the American State Fair. Managed to get pretty close to the stage

According to the child labor advocate behind the GBD, planning for COVID began 10 years ago. This is who helped create MAHA.

Why are the MAGA/MAHA men who run the US science & health research system actively destroying this system? Why do they want China to be the world’s research superpower? Don’t get me wrong, we have many wonderful Chinese research partners—I’m happy they’re so well funded—but why destroy US science?

I might be 5 minutes late, but see you soon!

Discussed here

Misinformation labelling may damage health, science, and policy making? Gee, that sounds an awful lot like somebody wants misinformation to be left alone and never called out. I wonder why that might be?

Imagine calling critics of this crew threats to science.

Well, Jay Bhattacharya once called me a “threat to science.” Now Ioannidis thinks I’m a “total embarrassment for science.” Which is it, you guys?

It my critiques of Ioannidis I accurately quoted him and explained why I disagreed. To him, this is an “attack” and makes me an “embarrassment to science.” What did I get wrong exactly? He’s only got insults and his hurt feelings.

According to John Ioannidis @gorskon.bsky.social myself and other “science based” commentators do nothing but “attack.” Also, we are a “total embarrassment for science.” What are we wrong about exactly? 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗

The old FDA leadership forced this guy to resign.

This is one of the most On Point writeups of "where we are and why" since 47 took office. Its not that we "are losing World Respect"... we Have Lost It! It will be generations before our place in World Health policy is restored... especially if we continue with leadership from MAGA/ MAHA.

Very telling when organizations and people only champion free speech when they agree with it or benefit from it. I won't be holding my breath for a "Flame of Freedom" award from @reason.com. But I appreciate the kind shout out from @joho.bsky.social.

Anytime👏👏👏👏

Oops

And this grant slow-walking, censorship, and political interference is going on WITHOUT Russell Vought’s proposed OMB Rule that @standupforscience.net and @cdelawalla.bsky.social have been mobilizing us against! #SUFS #StandUpForScience

Bhattacharya loves to censor science

Perhaps the greatest thing in American history per our surgeon general nominee Nicole Saphier.

Of course, @reason.com literally gave awards to MAGA doctors not long ago, back when there was a chance to stop them. At least they are done supporting everything they enabled.

More reporting from @maxkozlov.bsky.social on the political screening process that is slowing public investment in science to a crawl www.nature.com/articles/d41...

And COVID was an opportunity for opponents of public schools and teachers unions, just like Katrina.

‼️ Following @kkjetelina.bsky.social’s article, here is a hugely important one by @celinegounder.com “Flu ads pulled mid-season, a vaccine panel marked for replacement, a database the Secretary wanted to buy, & career staff documenting all of it on the record” www.celinegounder.com/p/cdc-emails...

This is deeply unethical NIH grantees are being told to leave out published papers with foreign coauthors in their progress reports—they’re being ordered to be dishonest & to suppress their own work! And pre-emptively removing foreign authors from papers that they coauthored is SO unethical!

Doctors who fluffed RFK are medical pariahs today. Everyone knows not to take them seriously. But why did it take so long? Why did so many medical “leaders” not care about this👇?

Wakefield recognizes that social media and COVID disinformation supercharged his project. He's right.

Russell Vought is an evil man. This plan is nothing short of a personal take-over of federal grant making. It will affect ALL of us. Political commissars will now be in charge of all agencies, reporting to him. But we are not powerless. See what you can do below. 1/ www.thenation.com/article/poli...

SCOOP: A cache of internal emails obtained by @nytimes.com shows how CDC leaders struggled to adjust to life under RFK Jr.: Late-night demands; color-coded spreadsheets; a mad dash to the National Archives for 28 boxes of historical records. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u...

in 2025, our Surgeon General nominee Dr. Nicole Saphier called DOGE "one of the greatest things to happen in US history." Today, the headlines read "USAID Shutdown Has Led to Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths." Is a doctor who celebrates this qualified to be our Surgeon General?

Doctors who endorsed Trump endorsed Miller too. It was all a package.

Vinay Prasad praised Kennedy regarding vaccines on her podcast. Just listen. He got promoted at UCSF.

I learned a word from RFK Jr.’s podcast that was new to me, and that word is “polyanecdotal”, which is like putting an evening gown on gym gossip. RFK Jr. does not, of course, make a distinction between rigorous scientific data and some guy saying words.

He drastically underestimated Covid 6 years ago and was willing to torch his reputation and enable MAHA rather than say “I was wrong.”

But nuanced masters of clinical appraisal told me MAGA/MAHA doctors were apolitical.

Did Pete Hegseth Single-Handedly Raise the R0 of Flu? www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/faus...

Ioannidis is still trying to claim that death certificates can’t be trusted and it was just old people dying of old people diseases, not a new virus. Covid was all just an illusion we hallucinated.

‼️With flu season in full swing, & less than 24h after becoming HHS Sec, RFK Jr ordered CDC to stop promoting flu vaccine How grotesque That day, CDC reported flu had killed 68 kids—11 that week alone—& 16,000 people overall There had been 29 million reported cases & 370,000 hospitalizations

Any lecture by John Ioannidis should open with one of his interviews from 6 years ago. Just so everyone can gauge his credibility.
