Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

RFK Jr will kill millions just by making vaccines or essential medicines more difficult to access (which he WILL do). And in a health emergency—like, say, an H5N1 pandemic—he would kill millions more.

He cannot be confirmed.

🚨 The indefinite pause on NIH study sections & CDC public communication updates is devastating for science, public health, and our future. These decisions will have long-term consequences for research, disease prevention, and lives if they are prolonged.

CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

This is so crucial. People have no idea what NIH is or how funding from its grants has enabled discoveries from which they have benefitted.
Fellow scientists, please consider speaking w/ media about what this means for "regular Americans." The link below is to contact a reporter who's collecting stories about the unfolding NIH situation - pls share anonymously or on record. @anniewaldman.bsky.social www.propublica.org/people/annie...
