Here in Boston, we believe in scientific evidence. We are a trustworthy source of public health information, and we will continue to disseminate accurate information to our local communities because that is what they deserve.

The outside of a CDC building overlayed in blue gradient. Text reads, "November 21, 2025. The CDC rewrote their website on November 19 suggesting a link between vaccination and autism. The statements on the CDC’s webpage are now false. They rely upon data that has been revoked by medical journals and debunked by a large body of high-quality research. There is no one single cause of autism. Research exploring factors that may be associated with autism is already underway. But we know definitively that vaccines do not cause autism. Numerous studies have demonstrated that vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of autism."

The outside of a CDC building overlayed in blue gradient. Text reads, "November 21, 2025. Vaccination is the safest, most effective tool that we have to prevent severe disease, hospitalization, and death from infectious diseases. Globally, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives in the last 50 years, mostly infants. Under our current federal administration, the CDC is no longer a reliable and trustworthy source of information regarding vaccination. The statements on the CDC’s website now undermine decades of work done to increase vaccination rates in the US. At the Boston Public Health Commission, we believe in scientific evidence.

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Compelling and important op-ed from the friends and families of Boston and Cambridge's victims of traffic violence

We can do better and should do better.

Our loved ones died biking in Cambridge last year. Boston-area candidates need to follow the facts on bike lanes. - The Boston Globe
Some candidates are displaying a staggering lack of regard for people who cycle, victims of traffic violence, and everyone who cares about safer roads.
