The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

There's something fascinating about "accurate descriptions of me and my actions are an incitement to violence against me"

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

Charlie Kirk’s fans and defenders are as awful as he was. “The world’s most precious snowflakes are always on the far right: they can’t handle criticism and they fundamentally hate free speech. The Trump administration’s efforts to silence critics is more proof of this.”

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

Denmark is on track to wipe out the most dangerous strains of HPV. New data shows the vaccine has all but wiped out HPV16 and HPV18. It's a powerful proof point for what widespread, equitable vaccine coverage can do. buff.ly/3do5Sfo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”

On this date in 1776 the statue of King George III was pulled down in New York City. Because America didn't want a king who lived above the law.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is proud to stand with leading public health organizations by taking legal action to protect the integrity of our immunization system to defend science, evidence-based medicine, and the policies that keep children safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DODV...

The antivaccine movement threatens health worldwide www.bmj.com/content/390/... "The hard power and money of the US federal government is being directed towards undermining vaccine acceptance, science, and production. These decisions could have a detrimental effect on the rest of the world."

A student doing work this shoddy for a class presentation would fail. Shouldn't the standards be even higher for people making decisions about the health of all Americans?

If things continue the way they're going today, measles will be back soon in the US, and we will have more stories like this. www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-measles...

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Crisis averted, for now. 🍁Congratulations Mark Carney. Merci Quebec. Extra big thank you Ottawa Carleton. BC, this was your time to shine, but you didn’t. Thank you for your service Jagmeet Singh. 💕🇨🇦

Not only is the measles vaccine up to 99% effective at preventing measles infection, it can also reduce the risk of death from all causes by 30% up to 86% for up to 3 years (compared ro not being vaccinated) www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state? The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

This is so Canadian. Body Break doing a special elbows up get out to vote segment.

When you start arresting judges that's the end of democracy. Can't even pretend anymore.

Ontario is in the midst of its largest #measles outbreak in almost three decades. the province must step-up public health efforts and eliminate vaccine exemptions. What is it waiting for to act? by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

To everyone (justifiably) applauding @harvard.edu 's response to the fed. administration's demands: that letter is only part of the story. Harvard's new website went public in coordination with Harvard Pres. #AlanGarber 's letter. It's completely revamped--and it's brilliant. www.harvard.edu. (1/8)

A federal research grant is not a gift, but a contract in which the grantee has to complete the work for which they were funded. Receiving a grant comes through a competitive process, and the terms of those contracts are not arbitrary. Harvard doesn't get free money. Grants are hard-won.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

More Americans have died from measles in the last 6 weeks than in the last 30 years combined, and multiple children near the Texas outbreak have been hospitalized for liver failure after taking the baseless supplements that RFK pushed.

BREAKING: Provinces invite U.S. scientists to come be underfunded in Canada

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

The Royal Society has failed to act to censure Elon Musk for his anti-science actions. We can only hope that individuals who make up the society will demonstrate the integrity that the Society seems to lack. www.theguardian.com/...
