I just published Ceci n’est pas une pipe: What Magritte Taught Me About Being a Scientist medium.com/p/ceci-nest-...

Who wants to bet that Makary survives? I may eat these words, it's just a hunch, but this feels like a trial balloon. Something tells me the FDA commissioner is being hung out to dry -- but not pushed out the door. @by-cjewett.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

This unexpectedly blew up, so thank you for the support, encouragement, and mutual celebration! With that, should I be posting more garden and harvest pictures? Would you listen to me talk about women's health research more if I was also thinning radishes? 😆

Jay screamed that he was being “cEnsOrEd!¡” during the pandemic because clinicians, outbreak control experts, virologists, & public health professionals rejected his push for mass infection instead of mass vaccination Now, as the nation’s most powerful scientist, he is censoring vaccine science 🧐

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

🎉About. Damn. Time. 🎉 So much damage already done by RFKJ’s anti-science nonsense, but at least this ruling overrides the vaccine changes. Let’s hope 🧠🪱 soon makes a speedy exit from the admin and goes back to whatever it is that rich nepo health influencer dilettantes do.

This is depressing as hell. open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

Good news today: @standupforscience.bsky.social is organizing rallies for science. 💪 Bad news: Funded science is way down. This is why I said wks ago the budget bill was “bad because it doesn’t go far enough.” How the science agencies are governed matters!!! This is killing labs. 🧪

NEJM: Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis after Measles Infection bit.ly/4rFkQ8w @nejm.org Get vaccinated.

This is essential viewing—thank you Dr Green for sharing it It’s a genuine tragedy to see the NIH Director embracing censorship so gleefully; his response to Dr Green (“it’s bad science!”) is one of the most repulsive things I’ve seen from Jay Bhattacharya, amidst a long list of vile utterances

The HPV vaccine is durably AMAZING.A massive Swedish registry study w 18 years of follow-up found no waning protection against invasive cervical cancer. If vaccinated before age 17, cancer risk is cut by ~80%. Even those vaccinated later still had substantial protection. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Worst of the worst, right?

Still thinking about this young hero. Not just the physical challenges to swim for hours to find help, but the psychological fear to having left your family behind in open waters and carrying the weight of being their only hope of survival. This really deserves a lot of recognition.

This hour long BBC documentary last was heart breaking. I was in tears watching the horror that is Coltan mining in the DRC. I highly recommend watching. I try to do my part by not buying new electronics unless absolutely necessary and I know it's not nearly enough. youtu.be/jpIcC1_5JAk?...

Every day miners in the DRC working under unsafe conditions with no protective gear, die so that we can have new electronic devices. A cruelty we all participate in willingly or not. It feels so hopeless 😔. How does one stop the cruel exploitation. www.dw.com/en/rubaya-mi...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The top cause of death among American kids is guns Yet in RFK Jr’s first MAHA report, coauthored by Drs Bhattacharya & Makary, entitled “Make Our Children Healthy Again,” there is no mention of guns And these 3 kooky, dangerous dudes have successfully rolled back vaccination 😢

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial. But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders. From me today in Minneapolis:

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

This is an extraordinary piece, about the NIH under Jay Bhattacharya I urge you to read it

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

😳 My God: when these 4 men overhauled the child vaccine schedule based on their animus towards vaccines, “key scientists at the agency's National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) were not consulted during the decision-making phase” insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-nobo...

Wow, a supercut of Podcast Jay!

It shouldn’t be possible but these people are more delusional about windmills than Don Quixote

Imagine my surprise to see that this guy, who write a piece in praise of RFK Jr, is one of the Danish researchers who will be doing this trial 👀

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS. Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

does anyone know what they mean by “all” or why they made it the first word of the amendment? so weird!!

Cannot wait for this documentary on Prime Video on 12/09/25. youtu.be/TJqcJ3ZwqzQ?...

You can't trust ACIP vaccine recommendations, a committee that has abandoned evidence in favor of conspiracies. Truly a sad time in the history of human health. I fully agree with this message from reputable medical advocacy organizations. www.idsociety.org/news--public...

🚨 >50% of ID fellowships went unfilled—just as the need is surging. Currently on ID consults and seeing unprecedented volumes and an increasingly immunocompromised population at risk for life-threatening infections. I’m worried we’re heading toward fewer specialists when we need them most.

Thanks for the great finds. Especially loving Theo Croker, CARRTOONS, Dargz, Maribou State and Loyle Carner

Just finished my second session at ceramics class (which I love) and, being the only man out of five, asked my teacher how many men enrol. She thinks about one on fifty. I was at another recreational thing recently and was the only man too. Why don’t men do stuff that isn’t sport or work?

Here are 50 LPs I enjoyed most in 2025. Kudos to all the people who made this wonderful music. Feedback welcome! Share! medium.com/@aronoff/my-...

Oh the irony: WSJ reports that Congress is considering loosening cars’ safety standards. Meanwhile, there are PROVEN ways to bring down our country's number of car crash deaths. As someone who's taken care of too many car crash victims... I vote for what works. 🩺🧪🛟 www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Unbelievable…

- He stopped the policy of encouraging flu immunization in Louisiana - Delayed reporting on a pertussis outbreak that killed two children in Louisiana. -Promoted false information on covid vaccine harms. He is now number 2 at CDC. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

This is the blood that RFK Jr has on his hands. www.cidrap.umn.edu/pertussis/th...

One of the very many reasons why I have not a single ounce (not one) of respect for RFK Jr’s MAHA cult is that they are not just dismantling vaccination & issuing harmful dietary advice (eat more saturated fat!)—they’re also sickening us through spewing dangerous chemicals poisoning the environment

Washington resident dies of complications from bird flu strain never before reported in humans CNN November 21, 2025 By Katherine Dillinger, Jen Christensen stillcoviding.ca/en/news/wash... #AvianFlu #Washington

This is quite possibly the most damaging headline I think I’ve ever seen from the @nytimes.com It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible
