Health Misinformation Is Everywhere.

People’s positions on everything from raw milk and miracle supplements to reproductive care, gender, and diet are often shaped by how they vote.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

This is unethical scientific exploitation through "research" on vulnerable populations that will cause harm and will be written about and taught in ethics courses in years to come. This study would not be approved by any IRB in the US or in Europe. African children deserve better.
“NIH is in crisis, grants are being terminated, labs are closing….but they found $1.6 million for an unsolicited proposal to study whether we should delay a vaccine we’ve been safely giving for 40 years, in a country where infants are at high risk of infection”

Designating fentanyl a WMD will worsen fentanyl misinformation, which does not prevent overdoses -it makes them deadlier- & harms anyone who could ever need pain treatment, anesthesia, & more. Patients already refuse one of the safest, best studied, easiest-to-dose pain meds because of such misinfo!

The declaration of fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction is the latest move by President Donald Trump casting the nation’s deadly drug crisis as a national security issue.
