Kennedy unilaterally strikes healthy kids & healthy pregnant people from the list of people who should get Covid boosters per the #CDC's approved schedule. There's a process for doing this, but it was not followed. "He's overstepped his bounds," one expert told STAT. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/c...

Very long but essential thread from Gregg Gonsalves re: a recent NYer article that attempts to justify the current administration’s approach to public health and biomedical science while pandering to conspiracy theories.

tl;dr — this EO co-opts the language of open science to implement a system of political control wherein presidential appointees are given broad latitude to designate any number of reasonable scientific activities and inferences as scientific misconduct, and to penalize those involved accordingly.

1. It's Fustilarian Friday and today's drop is the "Restoring Gold Standard Science" executive order. My read is that this is designed to (1) protect far-fringe figures such as the antvaxxers now heading our health agencies, and (2) kneecap efforts to use scientific evidence in regulatory policy.

New NIH director really gets basic science: “[Bhattacharya] discussed a new NIH policy that . . . aims to reduce the use of lab animals because ‘what we want is research that improves the health of people, not just the health of mice.’ ”

Some people seem to be unaware that Dr. Bhattacharya, current head of the National Institutes of Health, thinks that providing health insurance to the uninsured causes obesity. So here it is. He literally wrote the book (chapter) on it.

RFKj keeps insisting that HHS programs have not been cut. Not sure what you call it when you fire all the HR, comms, admin, procurement and other support staff. Gut?

Patti Murray: NIH Clinical Center cuts are affecting people in clinical trials. She cites an example. RFKj denies that clinical care has been affected. Really?

RFKj: “The [HHS] cuts are not cuts, but elimination of waste, fraud and abuse.” Many fired exFEDs scratching their heads wondering if they are Waste, Fraud or Abuse.

Here’s everything you need to know about the FDA’s latest appointee. Prasad’s pick-me energy—boosting and defending Kennedy, justifying Trump’s cuts—paid off. Now, the admin has another doctor with a history of casting doubt on COVID mitigations and mRNA vaccines in a critical public health role.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.
