Just watched Trump's UN speech in its entirety. My God.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Martin Kulldorff, whom RFK Jr. chose to lead ACIP in order to push through his anti-vaccine agenda, has demanded a debate with former CDC scientists. Kulldorff begins his demand with a lie: “The fact is that we are honest vaccine scientists…” Most of them are not “vaccine scientists” at all.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I look forward to your piece defending ABC silencing Jimmy Kimmel.

When did Biden or Kamala pressure ABC to fire Roseanne? Did that ever happen? Did the FCC commissioner during Biden’s presidency openly extort and threaten media companies to punish comedians who criticized Biden?

On Friday, the Trump administration claimed that COVID19 vaccines caused the deaths of 25 children. They are doing this to gin up a reason for their unnecessary restrictions on COVID19 vaccines. We explain the science for how we know these vaccines didn’t cause pediatric deaths in our report.

HE FUCKING TURNED HIMSELF IN.

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative: Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth. But he meant well.

Trump is piloting a program to let AI review seniors’ medical information and decide what Medicare covers for them — while giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. We must call on every Member of Congress to block this. 👇

My only comment for now.

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social This from The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

RFK Jr. kept insisting in his hearing that COVID19 vaccines are accessible to everyone, and he also made this false claim last week. In fact, yesterday Defend Public Health chose this particular RFK Jr. lie as our Whopper of the Week.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

"Last week, I and two colleagues at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention resigned after the White House’s firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez," Debra Houry writes. Here are three questions for RFK Jr.:

Are you watching the Senate Finance Committee Hearing tomorrow, starring special guest RFK Jr.? You can join DPH on Zoom for a our community watch party! actionnetwork.org/events/rfk-j...

RFK Jr. is releasing a report on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He claims that scientists haven’t studied the “root causes”. Defend Public Health has released our report summarizing what is known about risk factors from the 30,000+ scientific papers on this topic. Vaccines aren’t one of them.

Graham Greene, Dances with Wolves actor, dies aged 73

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

We can't provide solutions to support the health of Americans without facing the root causes like poverty and lack of access to healthcare. #IHATnotMAHA #IHAT #MAHA

From @melodyschreiber.com’s article in the Guardian: The Defend Public Health report has a tongue-in-cheek note that it was “created by real human experts relying on real rigorous data”. Yes. That was us fam.

This exciting, paradigm-shifting, forward-thinking research included Chinese and Russian scientists. No US authors. The current Administration is actively relinquishing our scientific pursuits, collaborations, and global leadership. Treasonous. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Have you benefited from a medical treatment or know someone who has? This one man wants to shut it all down. It sounds nonsensical and mad. And it is. But Russell Vought is head of the OMB, wants to and can do it. Call your members of Congress. Get rid of Vought, not medical research.

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social What a great format for showcasing public health profiteers and health care terrorists.

The US Senate is welcoming the "vaccine injured" to testify today. Such efforts to dismantle decades of progress in medicine and public health happen daily. A dark age is upon us. Let's continue toward the light of reality. www.hsgac.senate.gov/subcommittee...

The Trump budget in one chart: Cut programs that help families and make America a leader of the world, pour money into kidnapping grad students and deporting toddlers.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: A few days ago, the young folk duo Jack & Daisy (they're British but live in Spain) put out this cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "America." See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq3S...

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

His ignorance is painful.

Who could have imagined that in 2025, RFK's son would become an assassin? Using the dangerous weapons of public health malpractice and medical quackery.

What kind of sh*thole country cuts its public health and biomedical budgets by more than 40%?? Not China. Not Russia. We are in trouble. Also danger.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...
