2005 is when Secretary Kennedy wrote his first misleading antivaccine article. This is code for “that’s when I became antivaccine.” For Kennedy, it’s about fighting vaccines. He’s first and foremost an antivaccine activist. oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/salo... www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

Somebody Finally Stood Up to RFK Jr. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... This is an excellent assessment of what happened last week. Thanks to @doritreiss.bsky.social for posting it.

Why rejecting the endangerment finding also rejects climate science cen.acs.org/policy/chemi... It is time scientists act to push back against this anti-science nonsense. @doritreiss.bsky.social @amnh.org

New study shows reasons to continue Hep B vaccine birth dose www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap... I thank @skepticalraptor.bsky.social for writing this important article. @doritreiss.bsky.social @pauloffit.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social

This is great news. I hope New York and New Jersey will join California. @doritreiss.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social

This is a superb article regarding the FDA's decision not to approve the Moderna flu vaccine. Thanks to @doritreiss.bsky.social for keeping us informed.

Evidence has emerged that RFKJr lied about his infamous 2019 trip to Samoa after which measles vax uptake plummeted and measles cases spiralled resulting in 83 deaths and thousands of measles cases …🧵 #HealthPolicy

I opted to get the first of two shingles vaccine shots a few weeks ago. I had no idea that this might be possible. @doritreiss.bsky.social

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya has recently said that he wants to transform the NIH into the “research arm of MAHA” and a “central driver of the MAHA agenda.” Lysenkoism 2.0 continues apace at NIH. sciencebasedmedicine.org/maha-podcast...

This is very, very scary. Shows the dangerous, probably deadly, incompetence of many key RFK Jr. appointees. @doritreiss.bsky.social @pauloffit.bsky.social

I wish some Republican senators will wise up and start challenging Secretary Kennedy over this.

This should be well worth watching. I hope I'll make time to view it. @ncse.bsky.social @amnh.org

This promises to be quite interesting. I attended a panel at @amnh.org last month discussing why the trial remains relevant today.

This is worthy of remembrance and reflection. NEVER AGAIN. @doritreiss.bsky.social

This is disgusting. I blame Trump and RFK Jr. for this.

@joho.bsky.social has some important things to say that are worthy of note. @doritreiss.bsky.social @craigspencer.bsky.social

This is why Joe Rogan isn't credible. You don't support science denialists like Rogan has and then tries to have "false balance" by havng credible scientists. Thanks to @doritreiss.bsky.social for reposting this.

This has become prophetic. @doritreiss.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social @craigspencer.bsky.social @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social @eugeniescott.bsky.social @neilshubin.bsky.social The End of American Dominance open.substack.com/pub/sheril/p...

Kennedy is a total disgrace. But what more can you expect from someone who is the "Saint Paul" of antivaxx? Someone who has no understanding of having an ethical clinical trial. doritreiss.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social @craigspencer.bsky.social @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social

“Make America Healthy Again” is simply code for letting ”unhealthy” children die of vaccine preventable causes.

From @cidrap.bsky.social www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-va...

This is indeed dangerously unethical. When will someone stop RFK Jr. from causing more harm to global public health? @doritreiss.bsky.social

This is an excellent analysis from @joho.bsky.social. It's time we ignore the antivaxx science denialists from @childrenshealthdefense.org.web.brid.gy & other crackpot mendacious intellectual pornographers who reject the wisdom of credible medical & legal experts.

I wish AAP success in this. @skepticalraptor.bsky.social's piece is worth reading. @doritreiss.bsky.social

Shifting many pediatric vaccines into the category of shared clinical decision-making means in many red states governors and legislators will be pressured to strip them from school-entry requirements. Vaccination rates could fall sharply with stark regional differences in protection against disease

Sadly this is worth noting. We are seeing it already but it will get worse, a lot worse, before it gets better. @doritreiss.bsky.social

This is worthy of note from @pauloffit.bsky.social.

I Was Wrong About RFK Jr.: he's not even a broken clock; he destroyed U.S. leadership in global health, and ruined our ability to trust our health agencies. He's done nothing right. via N. Adam Brown @medpagetoday.com www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/pres...

20 years of KITZMAS! Take this quiz and learn more about the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial that kept non-science "intelligent design" out of the science classroom. https://ncse.ngo/kitzmiller-trial-quiz #historysky #kitzmas

What's eating me the most, is RFK jr getting his hooks into these people SO fiercely. It's so bad that even parents of an unvaccinated 6 y/o who DIED from Measles, were STILL against the vaccine when interviewed by CHD. 😠

Congratulations to @nilese.bsky.social for the publication by the @paleosoc.bsky.social's journal Paleobiology of the 50th anniversary punctuated equilibrium symposium organized by Don Prothero & held at the 2022 GSA meeting. @bruceslieberman.bsky.social @andrejpaleo.bsky.social

This flu is hitting Manhattan hard (New York, NY) but it seems Trump & RFK Jr. don't care. Maybe they should.

This is worthy of note from @drpanmd.bsky.social.

This is well worth reading even if it's "through the lens of a classic science fiction film". Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have caused much damage to federal science and medicine.

@michaelemann.bsky.social & @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social's "Science Under Siege" is one of the most important books published in recent memory, especially this year It is a timely look at what happens when science is attacked, ignored & discredited. It should be required reading for most Americans.

You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE? There are several in late stages of development. Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?

So @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social is on the @nytimes.com editorial board. She has been a voice of reason for many years at the paper (as have many of their health/science reporters) on infectious diseases. This is a great piece from her to close out 2025. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/o...

The health of Americans is at risk as those in power abandon evidence and process, and elevate anecdote and rhetoric in their place. Excellent article (if sad to read) www.statnews.com/2025/12/03/a...

A spectacular look back at Kitzmiller v. Dover, from Witold "Vic" Walczak.

In which I describe the links between Trump, creationism, ID, Christian Nationalism, and the book at the centre of the case; fear that the judgement will be undermined or, worse, bypassed; and show that this book contains errors of scientific reasoning that would disgrace an undergraduate.

This is a succinct, intriguing look at what Wilde thought about Darwin.

Sadly this is worthy of note.
