😳 My God: when these 4 men overhauled the child vaccine schedule based on their animus towards vaccines, “key scientists at the agency's National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) were not consulted during the decision-making phase”

Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

🚨 >50% of ID fellowships went unfilled—just as the need is surging.
Currently on ID consults and seeing unprecedented volumes and an increasingly immunocompromised population at risk for life-threatening infections.
I’m worried we’re heading toward fewer specialists when we need them most.

This is quite possibly the most damaging headline I think I’ve ever seen from the @nytimes.com
It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact
Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible
It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact
Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible
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.
