The Orchestra Belongs to the Music open.substack.com/pub/orlandoa... I concur with his assessment of @bostonsymphony.bsky.social. Both that orchestra's management & board need to listen now.

Children’s Health Defense sues AAP claiming advocating vaccines for children is racketeering www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap... This is an excellent assessment of this ridiculous lawsuit from @doritreiss.bsky.social.

Neil Shubin on Trusted Science in a ‘Deeply Partisan Age’ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/s... This is an excellent interview by Carl Zimmer of Neil Shubin.

This is worth noting from @doritreiss.bsky.social.

apnews.com/article/gord... S. Wood, eminent scholar of the American Revolution, dies at 92 after being hit by a car This is a great loss for American history. He was one of our greatest American historians. I was lucky to have studied with him in college.

Cultural Commentary: Death by Incorporation — Why Do Bean-Counters Run Arts Boards? artsfuse.org/329724/cultu... This is worthy of note with regards to the ongoing mess at @bostonsymphony.bsky.social. Management & board needs to listen to the public & BSO musicians. Reinstate Andris Nelsons

This is ridiculous. It demonstrates more of Trump's anti-science bias, which I, as a science-trained Republican, object strongly to. This network should have been left alone: www.msn.com/en-us/news/t....

You Can't Stop Ebola with More Ebola open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse... I agree with Dr. Rasmussen's assessment. It echoes what @craigspencer.bsky.social has said recently.

I believe @craigspencer.bsky.social's assessment is substantially more sound than Trump & RFK Jr.'s. @doritreiss.bsky.social @gorskon.bsky.social @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @epiellie.bsky.social @elizkolbert.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social @drneilstone.bsky.social @angierasmussen.bsky.social

#Photoville has been one of New York City's finest festivals for years. Today was the end of its 15th year at Brooklyn Bridge Park. I attended a tour led by two of its founders & directors, Sam Barzilay and Dave Shelley: www.flickr.com/photos/28566....

What percent of autism cases are attributable to vaccines? open.substack.com/pub/tobyroge... This man is an antivaxx wellness mendacious intellectual pornographer. He's lying. There's no proof of a link between vaccines and autism. @doritreiss.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social @craigspencer.bsky.social

We need to investigate RFK Jr.'s financial stakes in his antivaxx activities. I know @doritreiss.bsky.social has noted elsewhere that this reminds her of Andrew Wakefield: www.ms.now/opinion/rfk-....

Many of my fellow Republicans need to recognize that the evidence for biological evolution is overwhelming & irrefutable. I've been a @ncse.bsky.social member for over 25 years & had corresponded alot with Glenn, but we met finally for the 1st time last December at a @amnh.org event he participated.

This is alas, worthy of note. It's an apt assessment as to how Trump and his allies have narrowed considerably the separation between church and state: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u.... @doritreiss.bsky.social @center4inquiry.bsky.social

I learned as a student at Brown University from historian Gordon Wood that the USA was not founded as a "Christian nation". Those who rallied today on the National Mall are mistaken greatly.

This is well worth noting.

This is unfortunate to say the least.

This is an excellent assessment as to what is wrong with RFK Jr.'s interest in adding nutrition to medical school curricula: sciencebasedmedicine.org/can-medical-....

This is an apt assessment. RFK Jr. has destroyed our pandemic preparedness. @doritreiss.bsky.social @shawnotto.bsky.social @ncse.bsky.social @center4inquiry.bsky.social @joho.bsky.social

Children’s Health Defense sues AAP claiming advocating vaccines for children is racketeering www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap... This is an excellent analysis from @doritreiss.bsky.social.

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/...

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

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
