I agree that I’m not sure self-experimentation is the right way to roll this out. You can’t tell anything from an uncontrolled experiment of n=1. At the same time, it’s a cool idea. Would love to see an actual trial. www.sciencenews.org/article/vacc...

The hypothesis that holding a science- and policy-based rant/therapy sesh with me, @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, and @drdemetre.bsky.social would be entertaining and useful held up to testing and has been validated. This Week in Public Hell was a success! Plus bonus 🐕 open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

What’s that you say? FDA chief Marty Makary is a shitbird conspiracy theorist who thinks HIV came from a lab leak? But of course. It’s why he got the job.

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

What Should You Do About H3N2 Flu? There's a lot to worry about right now on the winter virus front, but get your flu shot anyway. Seriously. Get your flu shot, by @angierasmussen.bsky.social rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/what-you-s...

MEASLES ARE SOOO BACK! “Health Talk” w Dr @angierasmussen.bsky.social Angela Rasmussen @rasmussenretorts open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

Wildly unethical and grotesque to damn African children to lifelong chronic liver disease so some pseudo-'evidence based' medicine advocates can push fairy tales about a lack of placebo controlled trials. Another sad chapter to come in Medical Apartheid.

On the same day he stripped AAP of millions in grant funding in retaliation, RFK Jr awarded $1.6M to Tracy Høeg's Danish friends for a grossly unethical study that will expose African babies to hep B for no reason than it's politically expedient. Steal from American taxpayers, give to MAHA cronies.

A month into my new job, my first real scoop. Exposing thousands of babies to “a significant risk” of hepatitis B “in a low-income country with limited health care resources” would be “wildly unethical and a disgraceful use of American taxpayer money,” @angierasmussen.bsky.social said.

Yesterday I was on The Current with @mattgalloway.bsky.social talking about the current flu situation. Nine minutes isn't long enough to get into everything, including that my husband has the flu & I might too. So I wrote more. You should get a flu shot. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/what-you-s...

FDA Commissioner Makary broke from the tinfoil hat circuit to announce that no black box warning was planned for COVID vaccines based on Høeg's VAERS dumpster diving for child deaths. When they get caught screwing with vaccine access, they back off. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/nobody-put...

Dear God, Jay Bhattacharya is just hopeless. He can't simply say getting polio is bad and is far worse than any side effects from the vaccine. He's is so far gone. It's tragic really. Too bad for all of us that he runs the National Institutes of Health.

I am so proud to work alongside these folks.

It's worth taking a look at what Vinay Prasad has accomplished during his tenure as FDA CBER Director thus far. Sure, he was temporarily Loomered, but he's back and unfortunately more effective than ever. I wrote this last weekend about him & his boss: rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/commission...

Extremely alarming

Anyone else find it alarming that the FDA Commissioner is sharing deranged conspiracy theories about HIV coming from a lab and Lyme disease being a bioweapon made by Nazi war criminals in a USDA lab during the Cold War? Just me? rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/commission...

Take a moment to meet FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. He is the guy who is leading the agency that is working overtime to enrich his MAHA patrons by taking away your kids’ access to vaccines & essential medicines. He’s replacing evidence-based regulation with corruption.

I rarely ask for things, but I will make an exception for my colleague and friend, Augustine Goba, who dedicated his life to saving others. Augustine was Director of the hemorrhagic fever lab in Kenema, Salone, and is struggling with PSP. Please consider donating. www.gofundme.com/f/augustine-...

RFK, Jr. should absolutely be removed. He is gutting of CDC and destroying NIH. Sadly, @nytimes.com emphasizes this as a political stunt by Steven’s, instead of calling out RFK’s damage or the many Republicans who have acknowledged it but refuse to act. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

A bunch of us did a piece on RFK Jr.'s attacks on vaccines. Please circulate. Scientists and clinicians are sounding the alarm. It's time to act. youtube.com/shorts/4wnNy...

Please follow this group. Our lives depend on it!

Trump is putting the public’s health at risk— vaccine preventable diseases should remain prevented.

🚨I joined a remarkable group of physicians, epidemiologists, virologists, lawyers, & other public health experts to make this short video We cannot stand by & watch Trump, RFK Jr, & the MAGA/MAHA movement cause preventable sickness & death Please share far & wide, thanks

By definition, a post by Dr. @angierasmussen.bsky.social is one to read and share: Save America from the MAHA Movement open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

It's futile until it works. We're doing something about it, and you can help us build that power. Take action with us! standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

Did anyone else get their @angierasmussen.bsky.social action figure yet

Proud to be part of @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social & grateful to my amazing, courageous colleagues for speaking up on behalf of vaccines and public health. Trump/MAHA efforts to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule endangers our families & our health. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/save-ameri...

In a new video, The Save America Movement’s Science & Health Committee, chaired by Dr. Angela Rasmussen, brings together experts to sound the alarm on the Trump administration’s push to rewrite the childhood vaccine schedule. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Might be futile, but at least someone is doing something to stop MAHA from inflicting mass casualties from preventable diseases www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Acting CDER Director Tracy Beth Høeg is not wasting any time ensuring that babies are as vulnerable as possible to preventable diseases that kill them. Now she's going after preventive RSV meds based on unverified claims from an anti-vax blogger. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Current NIH policy under Bhattacharya (at the behest of Project2025 architect Russell Vought) is killing the next generation of researchers. If you value research, tell your members of Congress that the NIH needs more than funding. It needs sound leadership. www.statnews.com/2025/12/08/t...

“We are rapidly approaching a tipping point… Anti-vaccine propaganda is imbued throughout the information ecosystem. Actions to remove access to a number of vaccines are accelerating. If we’re going to do something to stop this, we better do it really soon. We had better do it now.”

Delaying the birth dose of the hep B vaccine was just the beginning. Trump is ordering RFK Jr to overhaul the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s a preview of the dishonest, Denmark-infused MAHA strategy to harm as many kids as possible. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-vaccin...

It’s nuts, and Yan Li-Meng is broken, but she bears responsibility for the path she chose to venture down.

it boggles the mind to think this person is in control of the US biomedical research enterprise the fate of many thousands — patients, researchers, trainees — and of America’s unquestioned status as the global leader and best hope of humankind — ought not to depend on vainglorious actors

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.

💉💊 It’s a triumph of public health & scientific research that US life expectancy at birth has increased by 30 years over the last 100 years—from measures like vaccination, antibiotics, & improved prevention & treatment of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, & cancer RFK Jr is torpedoing this 😢

In which @angierasmussen.bsky.social rips into the conduct of the latest ACIP vaccine meeting. "Like most kakistocrats, they do damage simply by being incompetent."

Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are vandals of humanity’s progress. They are arsonists and nihilists who seek to take, not explore. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/vandals-of...

That’s another horrendous ACIP meeting on the books. This clown show did a lot more than weakly recommend delaying the HBV birth dose and compare vaccines to planes. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/say-hello-...

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In a functional vaccine regulatory system there would be full data transparency & structured review of vax benefits & harms. That's not what we have now in the US. 👉FDA & ACIP have abandoned science for ideology. It will take many years to rebuild the regulatory infrastructure & regain public trust

When people prioritize ideology and political agendas over scientific evidence, they focus only on the side that supports their position. Case in point: Prasad's memo uses unsupported claims of dead children to justify ignoring the many benefits of COVID vaccination

I just published this and you have got to be fucking kidding me. HHS Chief Science Officer Martin Kulldorff is one of the worst things that could happen to HHS. Does this mean Kulldorff is stepping down as the chair of ACIP? I suppose it does open up a slot for Wakefield. bsky.app/profile/angi...

If you disliked Vinay Prasad's CBER memo that outlined his plans to destroy evidence-based vaccine regulation based on unsupported claims that COVID vaccines kill children, you are REALLY going to hate what is going down at this week’s ACIP meeting. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-vaccin...
