BREAKING: The controversial hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau has been *cancelled,* I can now report. A senior official with Africa CDC confirmed the cancellation and said GB officials are working to make sure any research is conducted ethically: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Insidious and dangerous erosion of evidence based guidelines. Nothing if off limits. The scale of public health destruction we are witnessing will take decades to reverse if at all.

In this flu season, we are reviewing cases of rhabdomyolysis with super high CK levels in the context of influenza A infection Here's a case report, but surprised there's not more in the literature: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

"The baby was released to her family. Her grandmother says she had a bruised cheek, but is otherwise OK." A 1 yo with a bruised cheek is NOT ok. Not because she's incapable of giving herself that bruise, but because she was alone with amoral strangers and has no way of communicating her experience.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

I realize that every word that comes out of his mouth is outrageous in one way or another but unambiguously framing execution as a legitimate response to disrespect is still noteworthy

JUST IN: Skye — U.S. Marine veteran in MN — says she was assaulted by ICE agents while documenting their actions.💥 ICE stopped in the road, tried to ram our car, smashed my window, yanked me out by my neck, threw me to the ground, stomped on me, pushed my face 1/2 #BlueSky #NewsSky #MedSky #LawSky

I asked Claude to make an ICS file out of the PTA list of events, and it did, but I didn't notice it made them all in 2025. When I pointed out that it was 2026, "oh, you're right!"

Routine childhood immunization in the U.S. from 1994 to 2023 with vaccines not recommended by Denmark prevented 6 million hepatitis B cases (and 940,000 hospitalizations), 4 million hepatitis A cases (and 78,000 hospitalizations), and 30 million rotavirus cases (and over 800,000 hospitalizations).

“This is but another cannon shot at a load-bearing wall in the U.S. vaccination program”. I appreciated speaking with HuffPost today about RFK Jr. changing the CDC’s vaccine recommendations. I also said that I do not believe these changes reflect guidance from expert CDC scientists.

“This is how vaccine coverage erodes: not through outright prohibition, but through administrative friction, funding ambiguity, and the quiet accumulation of barriers that fall hardest on those with the thinnest margin for error.” www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Timely, since RFK seems determined to take this away too

Thank you @rephaleystevens.bsky.social ! RFK Jr is criminally unqualified for the position and his actions will need to needless deaths of infants and children.

ICE is kidnapping and locking up little kids, denying them medical care, and feeding them contaminated food. They aren’t going after criminals, they are going after Black and brown people, because this isn’t about immigration, it’s about white supremacy.
