“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained global wave of sickness”

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth.
He said they weren’t cutting critical research.
Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis.
Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects.
This guy doesn’t care about health.

Done. Your turn!
🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:
1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)
2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps
3. Support Research Funding in FY2026

Nincompoop head of HHS is at it again
1/ Yesterday, it was announced that RFK Jr. is requiring placebo-controlled studies for new vaccines—potentially delaying this fall’s COVID shots as well as the approval of other vaccines. RFK Jr.’s repeated claims is that vaccines were “never tested against placebos” is simply not true 👇

The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely.
This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal.
This is bioterrorism.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I have had it up to here with people who complain that NIH-funded research hasn’t made enough progress or contributed enough.
The generations of amazing scientists trained in US programs—who have gone on to work in government, academia, & industry alike—are a priceless return on investment.

Make Americans Dead
2 days ago, there was an abrupt $11B cut to local/state #publichealth (PH) infrastructure. I don't think people realize what this means:
-Want an updated system to check your immunizations instead of digging through docs? PH no longer able to carry out upgrades to immunization information systems

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.
