Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

Update(s) from Serbia: the School of Philosophy at the University of Novi Sad has been overtaken by the police, who have evicted the students occupying the building since the start of the student-led movement for social change. The police are now attacking citizens who came to support students.

Exactly. Public health trumps any benefits from AI in hospital management and diagnosis
More about the importance of public health: in countries embracing AI in medical diagnosis and treatment that's all very well - but if all the *other* policies are making people sicker (e.g. pollution, food, poverty), then AI-enabled hospitals are not going to compensate for that.

The US under RF Kennedy and Trump is back in the eighteenth century for childhood infection control.
Reminder that the measles vaccine was the most successful in history and was considered to have entirely eliminated infections until the funded anti-vax movement was fueled by RFK Jr & others to concentrate capital with more pandemics.

‼️ Kulldorff is getting rich from anti-HPV vaccine litigation:

‼️ 🚨🔔 WOW. Martin Kulldorff, who RFK Jr picked to be on ACIP, has been making $$$$ testifying against the HPV vaccine (he lost the case in NC). This is a HUGE conflict of interest. ACIP rules BAN being “a paid litigation consultant or expert witness in litigation involving a vaccine manufacturer.”
Martin Kulldorff - "one of the new vaccine advisers picked by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has earned thousands of dollars as an expert witness in litigation against Merck’s Gardasil vaccine, court records show."
