if I have to become the helicopter pilot's strongest soldier I will do it but it'll be really funny if the transition team and post-election comments actually mean Mikie Sherrill has been hit with the Kathy Wokeul lightning bolt and/or has been lowkey planning to turn half-decent all along

he should try challenging scientific orthodoxy about gravity by demonstrating it is only a theory from the top of the millennium tower, what the fuck is this lede
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

It really seems like this administration is trying to eliminate the field of public health. MPHs and DrPHs will no longer be considered "professional degrees" by the DOE and, therefore, will face limits to accessing federal student loans.

I am a single issue voter now, and this is the issue
something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The pro-capitulate-to-Trump-though-we're-winning Senate Dems are correct that Republicans agreeing to extend ACA subsidies was not going to happen. Where they're wrong is not seeing that forcing Senate Republicans to nuke the filibuster is the best possible outcome on every time horizon

sure hope no one needs anything from the strategic national stockpile, which isn't just for pandemics — it's for providing critical medical supplies for major public health emergencies in general, like chemical spills and nuclear incidents
Got a new story about a little-known HHS agency with a massive job: the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
ASPR gave us Operation Warp Speed.
Now it's being run by a conspiracy theorist who calls those vaccines “genocide.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/meet-a...
