America First bilateral global health pacts linking aid to pathogen sharing is feckless. Instead of a multilateral @WHO PABS annex we do deals with a few select countries. What makes Trump think the next pandemic will start in those countries? The US is safer inside WHO & PABS

Tomorrow, ACA open enrollment begins for 2026 coverage. Huge spikes in insurance rates will force people to discontinue coverage. These will be mostly young healthy people, further driving costs up for everyone. Even if Congress restores ACA subsidies, the damage is already done

The MAHA Agenda is not serious about reducing chronic diseases. RFK, Jr. follows his whims and hunches, while ignoring science. We know what it takes to improve nutrition and physical activity, but the MAHA report just ignores the evidence

NIH launches a $50m in autism research "to unlock causes." How odd. First, the President & HHS Secretary announce with great fanfare the cause of autism. And then they launch a study to find the cause
Isn't research supposed to come first? Chasing hunches a waste of NIH resources

Trump and RFK’s advice on Tylenol & autism is cartoonish. Politicians shouldn’t be giving health advice. Their words on vaccines and Tylenol are reckless. It’s impossible to trust anything HHS says. Science & evidence don’t seem to matter.

Trump’s plan on autism makes a mockery of science. Vast research shows autism has complex causes. Yet RFK is selling the idea that he knows. No new studies. No peer review. No transparency. That’s not how science works.

ACIP's 2 day meeting was a train wreck, riddled with irregularities & devoid of science. In a well functioning government, national uniform recs are based on evidence. We don't want states issuing conflicting recs. But this is not a well functioning govt. And RFK is not a normal HHS Secretary

FDA may link COVID vaccines to child deaths using VAERS data. VAERS reports cannot be used to assess vaccine safety. There is no known causal link to the vaccine. If ACIP were staffed with real scientists, they would reject this out of hand. But science doesn't matter under RFK.

RFK’s claim that Tylenol may cause autism is unscientific. He draws broad conclusions from associational studies & doesn’t wait for the careful analysis. He shoots from the hip, goes public with his suspicions, & causes panic in the public
