RFK Jr is a liar 🆕A new systematic review of 274 studies finds that HPV vaccines: ⬇️the risk of cervical cancer by 80% in women vaccinated by age 16 ⬇️the risk of cervical cancer by 66% in those vaccinated after 16 ❌ are not linked with serious side effects 1/2 www.cidrap.umn.edu/human-papill...

As Dr @kmpanthagani.bsky.social points out, the AI did not obtain the history. It used the history obtained by the ER doc. And getting that history is the *highest*-level cognitive task ER doctors perform. youcanknowthings.substack.com/p/did-ai-rea...

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. https://scim.ag/4cxQWhl

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig... The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years. Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.” wapo.st/4euUt1c

Remember the unvaccinated boy who contracted tetanus in 2017, hospitalized for months at a cost of almost $1M? The boy who was a patient of (former) antivax doctor Paul Thomas? He's not the only recent case. 4 kids, unvax'd, none received immunoglobulin when symptoms developed. Those poor kids.

What kind of record exactly?

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels. https://to.pbs.org/4c0Eh6n

I’ve started putting things like “finish book” on my daily to-do list. It makes it feel as important to take my time for the things I want to do as the stuff I have to do, and I feel less guilty about taking time for myself

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Very sad yet completely unsurprising to see data censorship of a study showing the positive benefits of the COVID vaccines in preventing hospitalizations. This is anti-science in action and also harmful to public health. I expect better from the NIH/ acting CDC director but alas.

"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

Traumatic brain injuries have become the defining injury of post-9/11 conflicts, and the symptoms can often linger for years, or even a lifetime. https://to.pbs.org/4bYiv3g

“What I see is one person trying to run science like a king, deciding which research is acceptable based on political ideology rather than scientific merit”. Totally 🔥quotes from @michaeldgreen.phd in this excellent article by @melodyschreiber.com.

Wow, this is frightening: 95,000 scientists and researchers, gone. Brilliant minds no longer working to protect, help, and save people and the planet. Don't take this sitting down.

Measles is NOT a mild infection. Measles can cause serious and severe complications. Measles can cause death at its worst A vaccine prevents this.You absolutely do not need to play Russian roulette with your child's life. Doing so is a choice. A bad one at that!
