Why is basic research important? Scientists struggled unsuccessfully for decades to develop an RSV vaccine. Then NIH scientists figured out the key structure of a protein. Now we have 3 vaccines and 3 monoclonal antibodies against RSV. www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-...

"In some respects this was the most unhinged discussion of autism that I have ever listened to. It was clear that none of the presenters knew much about autism — other than the mothers’ lived experience — and nothing about the existing science. This may be the most difficult day in my career."

Do not take medical advice from someone who was never licensed to practice medicine.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

We got home for our HILL trip. We shared and spread the word about to life saving work of CDC, public health and science. Here is a fun pic of a few of the awesome pieces of swag we shared with each other while traveling.

The New York Times piece today about US science is terrible and wrong—in many ways. I could write a whole article about this, but as one example: “To close observers, the original crisis began well before any of this…” No. I’m a close observer of science, and this is incorrect.

THIS. 109 PERCENT THIS! 👇

This is the whole goal now for American patriots who love democracy and freedom: generate enough momentum and outrage in the public before Trump, Vought, and Miller consolidate authoritarianism. It’s a race. We can still win. Step up, everyone.

Awwwwww. Poor babies. Did we hurt your feelings? Good. Now fuck the fuck off you fucking Nazis! www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...

All they ask, all we ask, is for Congress to fight the illegal acts of this administration and protect the public health agencies that serve Americans. Please sign the petition if your health and your loved ones' health is important to you.

Amazing to meet people dedicated to public health.

Please

You don't have to be a Fed to sign this letter asking Congress to retake their power of the purse. We do not want a shut down, but we will accept a temporary one to fight this lawless administration and the harm it does to the American people. 1/2 actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

Here's CK's own words

Congress is about to decide whether to stand up to Trump’s lawless power or hand him another blank check. And Trump and Senate Republicans are betting that Democrats will fold, just like they did in March. We can’t let that happen. Here's the deal:

Took leave this afternoon to deliver a letter from nearly 900 (and growing) current and former Feds asking Congress to pass a continuing resolution that ends executive overreach and protects the American people. Join us! Feds and fed allies welcomed to sign. actionnetwork.org/forms/civil-...

I feel a Babbel-Grey Goose collab coming. The University of Freiburg’s Fritz Renner led the team that received the Ig Nobel Peace Prize this year “for showing that drinking alcohol sometimes improves a person's ability to speak in a foreign language,” cen.acs.org/education/sc...

Trump also ended the war between Abercrombie & Fitch.

The Temu vaccine panel has no evidence that vaccines cause autism so they find a new target, fever-induced seizures, of which their own member says "the prognosis is excellent." RFK Jr. will kill American children. www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...

🇺🇸 Fed workers across the government are issuing a challenge to Congress: "We call on you to pass nothing less than a fighting CR: a funding bill that not only keeps the lights on, but that also includes statutory protections to rein in executive lawlessness." ✍️ Sign the letter. Spread the word 🔥

Today a coalition of federal workers has released the Civil Servants’ Declaration. We have frequently asked questions here. “Why this letter? Because the Trump administration is engaged in an assault on the Constitution…” Please read!

@moderation.bsky.app Why is this photo labeled at Self-Harm. Does @bsky.app think that an enslaved man whipped himself? Do not whitewash history as Trump wants.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

The NIH Director was told to beef up his security after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He already has armed bodyguards. NIH staff who work in vulnerable, off-campus buildings saw no increase in security after the CDC shooting. www.gbnews.com/news/us/us-n...

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

Charlie Kirk's "acceptable losses"......

If you’re close and want some bitches to know how they are fucking shit up, join the rally.

🧵 1/4 The CDC will award a sole-source (no competition) contract to Rensselear Polytechnic Institute to (foregone conclusion) associate vaccines with autism. This violates several items of the of the administration's so-called GOLD STANDARD SCIENCE (in Roman numerals below). sam.gov/workspace/co...

Thank you @ianlmorgan.bsky.social I signed up my family for the vaccine without the problems you encountered.

No one should have murdered Charlie Kirk. No one should lower their flag for Charlie Kirk. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

This is worth a listen. Funny and scary. youtu.be/FDiXrd-R68U?...

This weekend, Secretary Kennedy claimed that there haven’t been any real successes out of HHS in the past 30 to 40 years. We disagree! Swipe to see just a few of the major public health successes from HHS over the past few decades. #USAnotRFK #ResignRFK #SavePublicHealth
