My opinions are someone else’s. Pulmonology. Abortion care is health care. Diversity is merit. Reality-based medicine. Critical thinking.

How do we know vaccines are safe? Are they ever taken off the market?
Short answer: Rigorous, ongoing scrutiny of vaccine safety continues long after clinical trials conclude.

Trump did win. But it was historically close, as it was in 2016. This is what the numbers tell us. Not a “landslide.”
"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."
My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

RFK Jr has said there are no safe vaccines and has actively promoted misinformation regarding them.
Calling him a sceptic of vaccines is like saying Al Qaeda was a sceptic of America.
He's an enemy.
An enemy of vaccines, of science. An enemy of Truth.

This is beyond terrifying. Measles is a horrible disease. Vaccinate your kids. Make sure you’re vaccinated too.
More than 10.3 million people caught measles last year, a 20% increase from a year earlier, according to a joint report by the World Health Organization and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
