Still trying to figure out what MAHA hates more: women or vaccines.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

4/ Here’s what’s missing: pregnant people take Tylenol because they’re sick—fever, infection, pain. ➡️ But we know fever and infection themselves can increase risk for developmental problems. Tylenol may just be standing in for those conditions.

What a shitshow

wow bummer

protect our waterways kids

all day every day

Instead of scientific peer review, here comes political peer review

totally normal stuff, nothing suspicious here

Orwell died of tuberculosis. Wonder what he'd say about the richest countries fucking up their healthcare systems & defunding global health

I'll do the math for you- this was 65 years ago You'd better believe #redlining still impacts our communities, #environmentaljustice #ej #climatejustice is needed, #medicalracism is real, #climatechange is real

CDC rescinded a policy issued on Monday that paused remote work for employees, including those with disabilities “Please hold on taking any immediate action" acting director of CDC HR wrote to managers on Thursday afternoon, citing the need for clarification from HHS www.statnews.com/2025/09/19/c...

I'm a bit late to this realization, but it totally makes sense that Mr. "Superior Genes" would promote a non-genetic explanation for autism, whether or not the rumors are true about his offspring being on the spectrum. It must be personal, why else would he give a fvck?

We have learned that the “official CDC account” on X has been live posting disinformation during ACIP. No one should get information from X. In fact, no one should go there. Nothing RFKJ’s clowns say should be taken at face value.

Perhaps public outcry is having some effect? We need to keep it up.

get that fiber fam! High-fiber diet may protect against exposure to PFOS www.niehs.nih.gov/news/factor/...

The "journalist" who had a texting affair with the guy who is now dismantling US healthcare, while she was investigating him, just got a sweet new gig. The absolute worst people keep failing upward in the US

billionaires could do so much good in the world but they just dgaf

Sounds like they'll use DOGE's ill-gotten medical data for the project: "The vendor has unique ability to link children to maternal cohorts using proprietary databases and de-identified data sets, enabling advanced statistical analyses.." See the notice of intent: sam.gov/workspace/co...

Good Morning - it's been a tough week, but feeling energized after watching Drs. Monarez and @drdebhoury.bsky.social kick ass and speak truth to power at yesterday's senate hearing. Thank you both for showing the world what integrity looks like. 💚✊

To state the obvious, you don't fund research at an engineering institution to study a public health issue if you want actual science-based answers. Epidemiology, immunology, virology - engineers and mathematicians are not the people to entrust this to, sorry guys 💚

The National Academies' response to the EPA's proposed removal of the endangerment finding is out today. It does not mince words about the effect of GHGs on the climate. Kudos to the authors. Key paragraph below; you can read the whole thing here: nas.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Pretty good diagram showing the chain of logic

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

Trump has never even acknowledged the shooting at CDC - where an anti-vax gunman sprayed hundreds of bullets - where a police officer died. He also left behind a wife and child. RFK Jr returned to publicly spreading antivax lies within days. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

EPA is also looking at “potential health risks of fluoride in drinking water” for CDC as part of evaluating water contamination. Targeting fluoride despite its proven safety while rescinding restrictions on PFAs - forever chemicals - in our drinking water… hmmm.

For the upteenth time — you are NOT having a fentanyl overdose if you feel hot, panicked, drive yourself to the hospital, receive naloxone while awake, get dizzy. If she really felt like she was going to pass out while driving, it’s incredibly irresponsible to continue driving.

3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

We are confusing demolition with reform. And demolition without benefit of carefully planned engineering never ends well. It just leaves a dangerous mess for someone else to clean up.

My Google news feed just gets me Boston globe headline- Nantucket sewage reveals cocaine levels 50% above US everage

WSJ reports RFK Jr has instructed HHS to link autism with Tylenol use during pregnancy and folate deficiency.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to testify before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Sept. 4. at 10 a.m. EDT. Watch live on PBS: www-pbs-org.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.pbs....

Are you planning to watch RFK Jr. lie to the Senate Finance Committee tomorrow? If so, you can join Defend Public Health’s watch party and blow off some stream! actionnetwork.org/events/rfk-j...

Unite w/ over 1000 current & former HHS employees (includes CDC) in the call for RFK Jr’s immediate removal as HHS Secretary. saveHHS.org RFK Jr’s attacks on CDC affect health & safety of the nation. Public health is based on evidence & science not personal or political agendas. #USAnotRFK #SaveHHS
