Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. Happy winter solstice! Never give up.

Safety first! From pandemic to apocalypse, a high quality mask will protect you and your loved ones, no matter what transpires. Your future matters!

It’s so dishonest and reckless to reduce childhood vaccines because of Denmark. The US has a similar schedule to Canada, Britain, Australia and Germany. Denmark, a small country with strong universal healthcare, is the outlier. And even Denmark themselves thinks that this is a bad idea.

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

Zohran’s not even in Gracie Mansion yet, and the Knicks already won a cup. New York is back!!! 🟠🔵

In response to the mass shooting in Sydney, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will propose strengthening Australian gun laws and NSW parliament could be recalled before Christmas to pass urgent legislation.

Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

You know it’s bad when even Fox News is reporting it

What an utterly devastating weekend. My heart aches for everyone at Brown and everyone back home in Australia. Gun violence is an epidemic that should have no place in any functional and humane society. 💔

We are experiencing a more severe than usual flu season and COVID rates are starting to rise. If you want to reduce your chances of getting sick, one of the most effective things you can do is wear a high quality mask. 🤫

There are reports that the FDA intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines. This is not in line with the science, which shows that COVID-19 are safe and have saved millions of lives. This would be a serious abuse of power by FDA officials to further antivax political goals.

The German government has committed half a billion euros to research into long COVID and other post-infection syndromes. 👏

Experience and scientific expertise is a huge negative.

Proud to be supporting @rephaleystevens.bsky.social in filing articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. WE NEED YOUR HELP for the long fight ahead of us. Go to standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr and sign your name to our petition! stevens.house.gov/media/press-...

Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan, has filed articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for turning his back on science, public health, and the American people.

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

The Northeast Public Health Collaborative and West Coast Health Alliance have issued statements that continue to recommend the hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns. It's encouraging that regional health alliances are stepping up to counter disinformation spread by federal health agencies.

🧵1/ I’m releasing my documentary “A Visit to a Homeless Shelter for Transgender Ugandans” in 5 parts. In Part 1, we begin in Kampala’s “7 hills” to show how far from industry trans ugandans are living—as they try to avoid eviction. (To support them: gofundme.com/minorityshelters)

World Cup and Eurovision neck and neck over what event is going to be the bigger disaster

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050. The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

This timeline is so cursed

The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic. Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

Reminder: It's never too late to start wearing a mask again

Not acknowledging World AIDS Day and engaging in COVID revisionism are straight from the eugenics playbook. One of the most effective ways of making people invisible is by erasing their history.

Appalling. Martin Kulldorff, who was a lead author of the Great Barrington declaration which promoted mass infection with COVID and spread disinformation about vaccines, has been appointed HHS Chief science officer.

Why doesn’t the US government want to acknowledge World AIDS Day? According to a Lancet study, USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years.

1/ For six months, I've been traveling the world on Pulitzer Ctr & Fund For Investigative Journalism grants investigating Trump's effect on HIV & LGBTQ health. On World AIDS Day, @theintercept.com is publishing an overview essay of Afeef Nessouli & my findings. theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...

Today is World AIDS Day. AIDS has killed 44 million people globally. Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors. Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.” Silence = Death

Call your elected officials. Get loud. Tell them you’re demanding public health leaders follow the science. The science says that the COVID vaccine is not only safe, but it saves lives. Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children. The kids deserve protection

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children. This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Cartoon full of misinformation in the Guardian. We have the tools to prevent sickness. The real denial is ignoring that high quality masks and vaccines reduce infections. This isn’t hard.

we have eurovision at home

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool. The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code. They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

A third infant in Kentucky has died of whooping cough this year. Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!

Ralph Abraham, CDC’s new deputy director: - halted Louisiana’s mass vaccination campaign - promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin - delayed deadly whooping cough outbreak warnings - backed anti-fluoride policies - fought to repeal ACA He should not be making national health decisions!

This is so disrespectful and harmful. AIDS hasn't gone away, and to save lives, we need to keep talking about and advocating for better policies.

When we spoke in 2020, Alice Wong wondered if a million Covid deaths would drive Americans to care. By 2022, a million Americans had died of Covid. To read the full transcript of this interview, visit tinyurl.com/5ez375t9

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives. Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional. This says everything about the state of US health care.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection. But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk. They are still worth getting. Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

ICYMI Dept of Education will no longer considers these professional degrees: Nursing Public health Social work Physician assistant Occupational therapy Physical therapy Audiology Speech-language pathology Social work Counseling & therapy Health Admin A smaller health workforce makes us all sicker

I don’t care if you are Sauron, Voldemort, or Palpatine… no one in this or any other universe can resist that damn smile

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.

Bill Cassidy: “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” 😒

RFK Jr’s CDC posting lies about vaccines and autism on their website isn’t just misinformation, it’s intentionally weaponized eugenicist rhetoric that will kill people.

Bill Cassidy claimed he received assurances that the “CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism,” when justifying his vote to confirm RFK Jr lol

Trump and RFK Jr's CDC just added a page that is full of disinformation about vaccines and autism.

Disappointed that Australia has conceded its bid to host next year’s #COP31 UN Climate Summit, a missed opportunity to center the Pacific Island nations who are most affected by the climate crisis.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus. We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
