1/ RFK Jr. quietly rewrote how America tracks foodborne outbreaks. The result? Less surveillance, less detection — and more people at risk, especially from raw milk pathogens we used to monitor effectively.

1/ A document circulating online claims to be a new CDC “revision” about autism and vaccines. This thread reviews those statements and compares them with established evidence from major scientific bodies.

1/ The claim that “vaccines were never tested against a true placebo” is one of the most persistent misinformation tactics pushed by RFK Jr & Turtles All The Way Down. Here’s what the evidence actually shows.

OK, you asked for it: Answering the antivax fantasy directly. A dystopian thought experiment — “The Great Immunization Trial.” What if RFK Jr.’s dream RCT actually happened? Let’s explore the consequences. 🧵

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… 🧵

🧠 New evidence links air pollution to dementia. A Science (2025) study found that fine airborne particles (PM₂.₅ µm) promote Lewy Body Dementia, the 2nd most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer’s.

“BREAKING NEWS”

🧵 “RFK Jr. and the Amish Autism Myth”

1/ Propaganda didn’t die in 1945. It evolved with Wi-Fi. The mechanics that once synchronized a nation now flow through feeds and hashtags. Different century, same circuitry of persuasion.

1/ Propaganda isn’t just lies shouted loudly. It’s the systematization of belief. Joseph Goebbels built that system for Hitler—turning mass communication into a weapon of control. What he did. How he did it. What it achieved.

1/ 🚸 “Kids today get 72 vaccine doses!” Sounds scary—until you realize it’s a talking point, not a fact. Here’s what antivax influencers don’t tell you about how vaccine schedules and doses are counted. #VaccinesWork | @IntegralAnswers

1/ What makes an antiscience/antivax tweet go viral? The playbook is depressingly simple. Save this. 🧵

1/ RFK Jr. just pulled U.S. funding from Gavi, the nonprofit that delivers vaccines to kids in the poorest parts of the world. He calls it “gold-standard science.” The evidence says otherwise. Let’s look closer. 🧵

Dr. Kevin Hall’s research has redefined what we know about diet, metabolism, and obesity. Forget the fads—his NIH studies cut through myths with hard data. 🧵

1/ Antivaxers are back with their favorite bedtime story: “The vaccine lipids accumulate in your ovaries 😱” Let’s unpack this nonsense with science, sarcasm, and a dash of ridicule. 🧵👇

1/ 🚨 New paper claims “strong evidence” that prenatal acetaminophen causes autism/ADHD. But read closer—and the evidence is far shakier than the headline suggests. Let’s break it down. 🧵

1/ Children’s Health Defense claims a new “study” proves COVID vaccines caused global harm. Let’s examine the evidence—and the many problems. 🧵

1/ A sharp rise in melioidosis cases has hit North Queensland. From Jan 1–Aug 17, 2025: 📊 243 cases ☠️ 36 deaths 👉 The highest toll since reporting began.

Life on the Great Plains in the 1870s looked idyllic. A modest homestead, wide horizons, and a family bound by hard work and hope.¹

🚨 Paul Offit warns: RFK Jr. is laying the groundwork to eliminate vaccines in the U.S. His target? Aluminum adjuvants — and his strategy mirrors a past crisis that nearly destroyed America’s vaccine supply. 🧵

1/ 🧵Let’s unpack and debunk a harmful conspiracy: the claim that Bill Gates—and by extension, liberals—are orchestrating “forced depopulation.” It’s false, and here’s what the facts say, thread below… ↓ #FactCheck #DemystifyConspiracies

Epidemiology is the science that helps us understand, track, and control disease in populations. From cholera to COVID-19, it guides public health decisions that save lives. Here’s an overview 🧵

RFK Jr.’s choices on vaccines, “natural” foods, and modern health aren’t random. From a forensic psychiatry lens, they reflect trauma, addiction, identity, and moral worldviews. Let’s dive into the psychology behind his decisions 🧵
