Aaron Siri spent hours at CDC’s vaccine panel pushing debunked claims. “If you’re going to say vaccines don’t cause autism, have the data to say it,” he said. We do have that data. What’s missing is evidence for his narrative. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-... via @nbcnews.com

“There’s no scientific rationale for this.” www.healthline.com/health-news/...

Trump announces plans to “evaluate” the entire childhood vaccine schedule. This was always the plan when RFK Jr. took power. Those who enabled this have blood on their hands.

Fuck, let's do this again! Watch this brilliant take on RFK Jr by @therealtruther.bsky.social ✨ Spread far and wide, folks!

The show is up and it’s SPICY! Ft. @danlamothe.bsky.social on leaving the pentagon, @annamerlan.bsky.social on the new pentagon press corps and Laura Poitras on her new movie “Cover Up.” Oh and pod bonus @micahloewinger.bsky.social spoke with Cam Higby about his new role. pca.st/episode/f23f...

Excellent reporting from @enirenberg.bsky.social on the ACIP meeting

We are done with the break. Also, apparently, they messed up reporting the VFC vote, which was 8 yes and 3 abstain. Aaron Siri will be presenting on the childhood immunization schedule. Siri is an anti-vaccine lawyer who is closely affiliated with RFK Jr. and has major conflicts of interest...

Who are you gonna trust? Your pediatrician or the non doctor supply chain researcher guy sitting on the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices RFK's bench is so shallow that he qualifies as an expert? (Also WE DO TRUST PLANES AND THE GOVT AGENCY THAT REGULATES THEM.)

Things going great at ACIP this morning

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc... ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner: "'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

RFK Jr.’s CDC panel restricts hepatitis B vaccine for newborns www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

SCRATCH AN ANTI-VACCINE ACTIVIST AND YOU'LL (usually) FIND A CLIMATE SCIENCE DENIER. Professors Mann and Hotez explain the lethal links between pandemics and the climate crisis, the forces fanning these flames, and how we may act on behalf of public health and a planet graced by life.

I’m thankful for people like @angierasmussen.bsky.social working so hard to help keep the world safe and people like Cody, for making the news bearable. Happy Holidays my friends!

The plan: to de-radicalize QAnon folks we’re gonna elect each one to Congress for 5 years.

Great, if harrowing piece about the Freebirth Society, who we touched on in our latest Truly Tradly Deeply Episode about motherhood www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes. So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1/

Good morning from a blessed weekend shift 🫠 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Marjorie Taylor Greene no longer trusts the plan. In her surprise resignation, she cast doubt on the QAnon conspiracy theory she once promoted.

Given how much political discourse over the past few days has been dominated by parsing emails in order to better speculate about the depraved sexual inclinations of financial and political elites, I have to admit that Pizzagaters won culturally, even if they were wrong in the specifics.

What are we even doing? This is insane.

1/ RFK Jr.’s call for new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for childhood vaccines, where some kids get vaccines and others don't, is a dangerous & misleading demand. Let's break down why it's considered unethical, impractical, and unnecessary. A short thread… 🧵

The actual FBI using a Nazi-filled social media platform run by a far-right emboldening transphobe to debunk an unpublished story from a right-wing conspiracy theorist who recently platformed one of America's biggest antisemites.....perfectly sums up 2025

We’re doing the studies to make the proof. - RFK Jr.

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

The people at @nytimes.com helped me make this video about sexism www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

The plan to end vaccines is to say that every study requires an inordinate number of patients and resources to carry out before the current FDA will review it. When companies decide it is too expensive to make any new vaccines, they will stop making new vaccines.

Got a new story about a little-known HHS agency with a massive job: the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR). ASPR gave us Operation Warp Speed. Now it's being run by a conspiracy theorist who calls those vaccines “genocide.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/meet-a...

A large new study confirms: Age and gender biases are deeply baked into what we see online

Offering immigrant children $2,500 to self-deport and threatening them & their families with detention if they decline is just coercion. This is wild:
