På uppdrag av regeringen har Trafikverket tagit fram den så kallade nationella planen för infrastruktur. Resultatet presenterades idag – mer pengar till väg och mindre till järnväg.

Utspel som detta och kopplingar till antisemitiska rörelser och idéer i närtid borde ha lyfts i debatten om SD:s vitbok i somras. Istället kunde SD, utan kritiska motfrågor, spinna bilden att de (till skillnad från andra partier) har en glasklar gränsdragning mot antisemitism.

Aug. 26: Stephen Miller says "the Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization." Sept. 25: Miller put in charge of coordinating a federal campaign to prosecute "domestic terrorist organizations."

I live in Sweden, Östergötland, and will not be allowed any Covid vaccine at all this year. Not even if I offer to pay for it. I have Spinal muscular atrophy, basically no muscular function, and I depend on respiratory support even on days when I'm not infected with anything. 1/2

”Nu väntar vi på att det justitiedepartementet i Sverige ska godkänna detta. Går inte det, blir 8 januari inte aktuellt och då löper jag risk att bli internationellt efterlyst av Turkiet. Jag vill absolut inte hamna i den situationen” säger Medin:

⚠️ CDC quietly updated its webpage to caution pregnant people about acetaminophen (Tylenol). Sneaky changes driven by politics instead of science erode public trust and put lives at risk. As scientists who once shaped CDC's webpages, this is heartbreaking. 💔 www.cdc.gov/medicine-and...

Yup, iHerb, his supplement company, sells leucovorin This administration is just one big grift

Let's not forget that some of RFK Jr's closest associates, like Bhattacharya and Kulldorff, rose to their positions through pandemic contrarianism, supported by a not insignificant number of people in British and Scandinavian medicine, even public health officials.

A picture is worth 1000 words: At what I think was one of the most extreme, kooky, anti-science press conferences in history, you see Trump & RFK Jr’s henchmen—3 medically trained men doing their anti-vaxx bidding, Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, & Oz The damage these MDs are doing is incalculable

NO TRUST IN ACIP! Well, the absolutely incomprehensible vote at the end of the ACIP meeting has left everyone confused. MMRV resolution passed, so it’s off the schedule for younger children and CMS won’t cover it.

Broad access to vaccines of all sorts is in jeopardy, former CDC director Rochelle Walensky warns in an Op Ed in @statnews.com. www.statnews.com/2025/09/16/r...

Shivers down my spine. What a set of ghouls and charlatans. Thanks to Amy Schoenfeld Walker and @lazarogamio.bsky.social for this. These people want to take away your vaccines. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The @fda.gov appears to be about to weaponize an antivax trope against COVID-19 vaccines, the abuse of reports to VAERS to falsely portray them as deadly, as news reports suggest RFK Jr. will further restrict access to COVID-19 and three childhood vaccines. sciencebasedmedicine.org/robert-f-ken...

How the effing F is Swedish TV giving Kulldorff a platform, even if they add some voices critical to what he says.

Welcome to Sweden, when you can only get vaccinated from October 15, only in certain regions, and most likely by paying only, since the "recommended people" list is more narrow than it is in the US with RFK Jr and all.

Less than one percent of seats in Parliament. But featured in a quarter of news bulletins. That's some impartiality right there BBC 👀 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/sep/12/bbc-under-fresh-pressure-over-extent-of-reform-uk-nigel-farage-coverage

🔴 Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal says Ukraine urgently needs 10 more Patriot systems and missiles as Russia plans new strikes on energy and infrastructure.

Trump is completely the creature of the fossil fuels industry. A report finds that President Trump’s flagship legislation will grant $40 billion in new subsidies to the oil and gas industry over the next decade, even as he does everything in his power to destroy alternative energy sources.

Here's the conversation that @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I had today on his new book, co-authored with @michaelemann.bsky.social, #SCIENCEUNDERSIEGE erictopol.substack.com/p/peter-hote...

"On August 29, the State Department leadership notified staff that it was terminating more than two dozen agreements...designed to create common language and tactics to push back against Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and terrorist influence campaigns overseas..." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Gosh, what a surprise (!) to see anti-vaccination policymaking coming from Dr Ladapo, a high profile original signatory of the Great Barrington Declaration, which pushed for mass infection instead of vaccination.....

Sec Kennedy said he doesn’t know how many people died of COVID in the US. But cites what percentage of world COVID deaths occurred in the US. US deaths divided by worldwide deaths X 100. So either he knows how many people died in the US or doesn’t know percentages.

How incredibly depressing—but not surprising—that Jay Bhattacharya, who campaigned for RFK Jr & spoke at his rallies, is presiding over an extraordinarily dangerous shift away from vaccine science at NIH. I know of no prior NIH leader with such animosity to vaccines www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/h...

So if you aren't perfectly healthy your punishment is....preventable death? What are we doing here. “Dr. Memoli reiterated the administration’s position that vaccines are unnecessary if populations are healthy,” the complaints said.

"In response to recent federal actions that have undermined the independence of the CDC and raised concerns about the politicization of science, California, Oregon, and Washington are beginning the process to provide evidence-based unified recommendations .... " www.gov.ca.gov/2025/09/03/c...

Memos released in recent days by the Food and Drug Administration show that the agency’s vaccine chief overruled staff scientists who favored widespread access to Covid shots, setting off a firestorm of criticism from lawmakers, state officials and doctors. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/h...

I think it's *EXTREMELY* important for us not to focus on RFK Jr alone; his anti-vaxx activities & kooky conspiracy theories are getting major support from the MAHA/MAGA crew, like Vinay Prasad, Marty Makary, & of course the Great Barrington Declaration dudes (Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff).

www.science.org/doi/full/10.... Mandating Indoor Air Quality in Public Buildings. Our paper in Science. 🧪 #healthpolicy

The history of the #Covid19 #pandemic is being furiously rewritten, especially (though not solely) re: the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. But there is an evidentiary record and this is a hugely helpful compilation of it. Read and bookmark.

The roadmap for turning the NIH into an EBM slush fund and shutting down real science. Kulldorf, in the new public health blog ("journal") co-founded by Bhattacharya. 1: Fund based on who applies 🤔, rather than ideas 2: Give ECR grants. But only to "medical, dental and public health school".

It’s also difficult to describe just how extreme & how repulsive it is that Jay Bhattacharya is sharing a stage, at a nasty right wing conference, with Nigel Farage—who just unveiled his plan for “mass deportations” of asylum seekers. Do GBD supporters not grasp how radical & revolting this is?

I think the MOST telling thing about the GBD is that the man who conceived, organized, sponsored, edited, & marketed it is pro-child labour, pro-tobacco, anti-vaccine &, um, a Neo-Confederate. Imagine falling in love with this guy & his declaration 🤯 talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/jeffr...

90% of all pediatric flu deaths in the US are unvaccinated

If you care about the discourse over vaccines and you care about censorship please read my latest about how a major critic of the Trump administration’s public health officials had his YouTube channel deleted www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A valuable summary from the excellent Prof. Hotez. The photo is a mug shot of the geneticist Nikolai Vavilov, imprisoned and starved to death by the Soviets for standing up for science. (Churchill and others protested to Stalin for him, to no avail.)

Jag har idag kommenterat den aktuella debatten på Substack, ur ett risk- och säkerhetsperspektiv: kerstinivarsson.substack.com/p/apropa-fol...

Bernie Sanders: “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.”

Funny (but not haha) as Kjöller went on a warpath against postcovid patients, including not just the DN pieces, but also that weird weird two-parter in Kvartal, that also used "expert" opinion of conspiracist and signee of Läkaruproppet Sebastian Rushworth in it.

Minns ni när Hanne Kjöller bedrev en kampanj för att postcovid skulle förstås som kultursjukdom och jämförde det med elallergi och annat? Nu visar det sig att en av de hon ofta vände sig till för expertis i detta ämne var... Magnus Gisslén.

Hanne Kjöller om hur hon under pandemin vänt sig till Gisslén för råd om postcovid mm. www.svd.se/a/OovX0A/jak...

Surprise! Great Barrington Declaration folks—Jay Bhattacharya, Jeff Tucker—are at a conference that includes far-right extremists! Tucker conceived, organized, sponsored, edited & marketed the GBD & is a Neo-Confederate—but some folks love him/his declaration! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/jeffr...

🚨New peer-reviewed commentary that I co-authored with Chris Beyrer is now out in the journal Vaccine, gift link below We show the ways in which the MAHA & MAGA guys—RFK Jr, Makary, Bhattacharya, Prasad—have dismantled the US vaccine regulatory framework authors.elsevier.com/a/1lbDt,60n7... 1/5

Framsteg i UK, barn ska från 2026 få vaccin mot vattkoppor. När följer Sverige efter?

The term "soft secession" is going to start entering the American lexicon more and more. Here's one example. kffhealthnews.org/morning-brea...

Correcting these misconceptions is essential – especially given how Sweden has been used in pandemic debates. As a country, we've played a part in legitimizing narratives by actors such as Kennedy, Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff, Vinay Prasad, etc.
