The executive branch defunded USAID and GAVI, is threatening domestic vaccine programs and is now funding this “study”: unethical, unscientific, racist, neocolonial, cruel…EVIL. It will be studied and live only in infamy and ruined lives cut short:

RFK Jr. is lying to the American people. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Period. His lies are a threat to public health, and he should resign immediately.

I will continue to call out his blatant lies as Americans are losing faith in our government to provide trustworthy, science-based information.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Those attempting to link autism with vaccines distract from the important work of refining/defining the various causes of the many conditions leading to autism defined development which MAY cause disability and seeking treatments for those.

Many of those originating this spurious discussion of linking autism with vaccines are only alive thanks to the greatest relief of human morbidity & mortality of the 20th Century: those same vaccines.

As a pediatrician from 2006-2023, I finagled every possible way to convince insurance to cover it for my “qualifying” patients; in 2023, I was giddy as a pediatrician vaccinating infants to protect them for their first URI season. It has paid DIVIDENDS!

In 1997, I was an ED tech, I watched Respigam be given in part of Colorado Children’s ED; at Denver Health urgent care in 2000, I sucked snot/ran rapid RSV tests for Eric Simoes’ RSV outcomes study in kids with/without palivisumab(about $900/monthly throughout URI season)…

I attended every single lecture on parasites Dr. Hotez gave while I was in first year medical school at GWUMC. The wealth of his continued contributions and legacy is a price above rubies.
