Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Rehire all of the fired NIH / CDC / FDA people into a Democratically controlled state cooperative health agency, funded by pooled resources from those states, that creates policy and programs for Governors and legislators in those states to implement.

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

🚨BREAKING: Federal courts BLOCKS the dismantling of Dept. of Education. This is huge win for @democracyforward.org, their clients and the state AGs.

“The record abundantly reveals that
Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute."

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?
