I suspected this administration might try its hand at audacious censorship. What I didn’t anticipate was how many apparently Constitution-loving Americans would be all like “GOOD!”

BREAKING NEWS over in Inside Medicine: Censorship at the CDC. Again. Two dozen websites were removed, including resources for health equity, disability, and LGBTQ+ care. Here’s what we know:

Inside Medicine -- BREAKING NEWS: Censorship returns to the CDC. At least 22 websites are down bit.ly/48np8KP by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social The Trump administration's HHS is back to its old habits of targeting public health resources deemed too woke.

Overall, this latest action appears to be yet another angle in the admins ongoing attack not only on our #publichealth infrastructure, but on the mission-critical work carried out by #CDC employees themselves. “The agency is so compromised and the #scientists are #hostage,” @jeremyfaust.bsky.social

"I'm still confused," member says during vote on national vaccine policy. Notes from Day 1 of ACIP. They were so confused that they had to re-vote this morning. "No" meant "yes." This is the rigor in our national vaccine advisory group under RFK Jr. Read on: open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Look at the drastic cuts President Trump asked Congress to throw at the CDC. He wanted zeroing out of all funding for chronic diseases, birth defects/developmental disorders, and injury prevention, and occupational health and a 65% reduction for environmental health at CDC...

EXCLUSIVE: A summary of possible CDC funding based on the President’s Budget, the House markup, and the Senate markup. Red: programs Trump wants entirely slashed. Yellow: programs Trump requested substantial cuts. Blue: flat or increased funding. What does all this mean? 🧵

Coming up at 9am local time in Salt Lake City at ACEP25. My review of infectious diseases news and literature from the last year. Yes, I’m wearing my WHO tie that Dr. Tedros gave me, which is a flex I’m comfortable with. SPCC Level 1, Ballroom H (there will be no dancing). Be there or…don’t!

Florida Man-in-Chief Dr. Lapado admits he didn't study the impact of ending routine vaccination requirements. Ya know who did? Real scientists. Including Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, who Sec. Kennedy recently FIRED from the CDC's vaccine advisory committee. Answer: This is dangerous.

I am unreasonably proud of this slide for my 9am talk tomorrow. #NotAMorningPerson

❗️RFK Jr. wants to link Tylenol use during pregnancy with autism, despite the best evidence saying otherwise. Here’s why this is a dangerous claim...🧵

Inside Medicine: Tylenol has entered the chat: RFK Jr. wants to link it to autism, even though the best evidence says otherwise. by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social bit.ly/4gb6kAt

The recent Tylenol literature review discusses mixed evidence, says it doesn't show causation, and advises "judicious" Tylenol use -- not a blanket statement. As @jeremyfaust.bsky.social writes, fevers & other pain relievers can harm fetal development. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/tylenol-ha...

Lapado in the running for most Florida man of them all.

Inside Medicine: Breaking: RFK Jr. seeks to rush 7 new members to CDC vaccine panel "Since nobody at HHS seems interested in genuine transparency, let’s do it for them…" by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social bit.ly/4mLAzR1

Inside Medicine just broke the news that RFK jr. is again trying to pack the CDC’s vaccine committee with allies. We need vetting on these people. They vote on legally binding national vaccine policy. Read and contribute to the crowdsourcing! insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-r...

This is one hell of a way to make America healthy again 🤯 Key CDC leadership positions… #USAnotRFK

After CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired for resisting vaccine policy changes, @jeremyfaust.bsky.social reminds us that public health must come before ideology. #USANotRFK

I’ll be joining Boris Sanchez on CNN at the top of the 3pm ET hour to discuss our nation’s health prospects. We are rapidly losing expertise. We stand to lose much, much more.

Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing. Understand: She is a very cautious person. This means a lot! #USAnotRFK

#USAnotRFK!

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

"Minnesota has permissive gun laws. Yesterday showed us what that means for kids." by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

🔥🧵 Resignation letters from top CDC experts: "Their desire to please a political base will result in death & disability of vulnerable children & adults. Their base should be the people they serve not a political voting bloc." - @drdemetre.bsky.social Thanks for your service.

Recently, I wrote that we would soon find out just exactly who Dr. Susan Monarez is—and it hinged on whether she would stand up to Bobby Kennedy on not. This is an indication … and we love to see it. @markzaidesq.bsky.social

Seems like RFK & HHS tried to fire Monarez without President Trump having done so. Legal experts say only POTUS can fire a Senate-confirmed position. I imagine Trump would feel threatened or humiliated by Bobby Kennedy trying to override President. Likely doesn’t sit well.

Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act - eat your heart out! 😏🙄 CDC’s new COO, Lynda Chapman, brings minimal public health experience, loyalty to Trump, and a side hustle selling photos of Trump & other GOP figures. Thanks @jeremyfaust.bsky.social for bringing this to light.
