Great and timely thread. We see this reliance on faith a lot in the Bible Belt, but with the growth of “functional” medicine and wellness influencers, it’s become an epidemic.
Wrath keeps overtaking me everytime I think about RFK. Why? I'm a type 1 diabetic. I got it when I was 14. Guess what you need if you're a type 1 diabetic? Insulin. Or you die. But my family believed that it could be cured with herbs & faith healing. I had a near death experience when I was 14. 🧵

1/n I don’t understand the new Dept HHS assertion that childhood vaccines weren’t tested in placebo-controlled trials. That’s simply not true. I did a quick (non-exhaustive) PubMed search and they came up pretty quickly. For example here’s MMR

This letter is just freakishly incoherent and inappropriate. It’s what you would get if you put, like, Tim Pool or Ben Shapiro into a US Attorney’s chair, made them drink a quart of bourbon, and told them to get angry at something
1. This is so poorly written that the sentence that is -- I think -- supposed to convey a semi-veiled legal threat is incomprehensible.
2. I'm jealous of whichever lawyer gets to write the response.

RFK Jr. says he’ll know what causes autism by September. Someone should tell him NIH—his own department—already funds $300 million per year in autism research, yielding hundreds of studies. Autism has been studied for decades and he’s claiming he will know the cause in 4 months?

Just got a consult for “hyperkinetic respiratory failure”.
I’m not sure what that is but I’m racing to find out.

So…um…who is doing the testing for multi drug resistant gonorrhea and resistant trichomonas ????
Labs at CDC investigating STD and hepatitis outbreaks have now been cut, as part of Secy Kennedy's layoffs
Specimens were still arriving from state health departments, with no one left on job from labs to handle them
"The outbreak detection is gone"

Doctors Without Borders are a blatantly political organization with deep ties to the “people shouldn’t die” industry
My friend Dr. Joanne Liu, former international president of Doctors Without Borders, was cancelled at NYU. The vice-president in education asked to see her powerpoint, prior to her lecture. One slide showed the number of humanitarian workers who died in Gaza. NYU cancelled the event.

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.
First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

ATS and 50+ medical societies oppose government cuts to clinical research. The affected institutions will likely challenge this action in federal court. Time is critical; the abrupt stop of funding means that vetted and quality research is lost. Patients will suffer.
