Cheryl Hines—who has mostly steered clear of RFK’s antivaxx world—headlined a weekend gala for Children’s Health Defense. At the private party, which I watched from the back of the room, she praised CHD and hawked her book— proceeds which were promised to CHD. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...
Does Cheryl Hines share husband RFK Jr.’s vaccine views? Now we know the answer.
The actress finally steps out as first lady of the anti-vaccine movement.

Online and in real life, the ostriches had become symbols of defiance and the farm a destination for conspiracists, fringe media, and animal lovers.

Why the conspiratorial right rallied around a flock of ostriches
The anti-vaccine, anti-government crusade to save "the miracle cure birds" is over — and the fringe activists lost.

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

1/3 John Knox, anti-vaccine activist, is now acting head of ASPR -- the agency that handles pandemic response.
He’s called COVID vaccine campaigns “nothing other than genocide.” 😶

Former firefighter John Knox's ties to RFK Jr. have landed him atop the agency that helped bring Covid-19 under control. People in the know are worried.

This story just cements for me how small the anti-vaccine community is. The bench is not a deep one.
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...

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
