It breaks our hearts to have to say that CDC is no longer a source for evidence-based vaccine recommendations. 💔 But we are so proud of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for stepping up to protect kids. ❤️‍🩹 Childhood vaccine schedule from AAP 👇 downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP-...

I woke up this morning to see that many states across the country have decided to #REJECT the decision to scrap the #HBV vaccine birth dose by #ACIP. Here are some (alt-text included). But who will be left behind? 1/

Sound familiar? Trump and Mussolini are two peas in a pod. "Only twelve out of some 1200 university professors refused to swear [their allegiance to Mussolini] in 1931." Who will bow down to fascism a century later? blognostrumuva.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/t...

Yesterday I wrote about how Turning Point put many of us on the Professor Watchlist What I didn't write about was the years of harassment from the right, including rape, deportation & death fantasies that played out in my messages, comments in the stories about me & voice mails. That’s his legacy.

Do better, People magazine 🤣 that's a weevil not a kissing bug 😉

It’s just all so dark, so perverse, so sick.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

Visited the Legacy Museum and Sculpture Garden in Montgomery, Alabama today. A critically important place and a must-see.

The Great Barrington Declaration, but for chickens. RFK Jr. is truly the stupidest motherfucker.

Since I’ve now completely abandoned the other site and am still relatively new here, I’ll flag a few pieces I published this year. For @aaup.bsky.social on Du Bois, higher ed labor, and the idea of the university as a member cooperative. 1/ www.aaup.org/article/towa...

They have killed the Epidemic Intelligence Service AKA “the disease detectives.” These are the experts on the frontlines protecting us from new and old infectious disease threats. Gone. In tbe stroke of a pen.

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.

There are two fatal cases of H5N1 in cats in California. Both cats had been fed raw milk from the recalled lot in the ongoing outbreak associated with Raw Farms. The milk wasn’t tested. But an astute veterinarian tested the cats for flu based on clinical suspicion. #VetMedsky #IDsky #OneHealth
