I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

My first post on BlueSky, I could not access the same handle as my X (someone hacked into that one):

So it's @peterhotez for X and @peterhotezmdphd for BlueSky

I'm a pediatric-vaccine scientist based in Houston TX at our Texas Medical Center

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

The CDC was instructed by The Regime to suppress a risk assessment about the current U.S. measles outbreak, so it’s fortunate that the WHO provided one.

“The public health risk in the Region of the Americas for measles is considered high due to the persistence of the circulation of the virus…”

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Deep gratitude to Joy Reid for her fearless voice and unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power. I joined The ReidOut earlier this month to discuss how the courts are checking the overreaches of the Trump administration—we will continue to fight back.

Siding with Russia and North Korea over freedom and democracy? Unconscionable. Dangerous. Weak.

This front page deserves a special mention.

Trump is becoming both a pariah and a laughing stock in the UK.

The really frustrating part is rubella caused ten times more birth defects than thalidomide did in the 1960s but nobody seems to remember that.

Also, he’s a pathological liar.
Trump’s move to blame the crash on diversity reflects his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political lens whether facts fit or not. After the terrorist attack in New Orleans, he blamed immigration even though the attacker was a US citizen born in Texas.

Absolutely bush league and childish.

It’s like listening to a child figure out what happened.

Let grown adults work it out first Mr. President then you can send your opinion
