Hopefully all recommended vaccines continue to be available in U.S. I cannot stress enough the importance of finding a pediatrician or primary care doc who believes in science & who you trust with your health to provide guidance on vaccines for you & your children. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Every day is a good day to remind you NOT to get medical advice about your healthcare or vaccines from people who are not trained or qualified to make these kinds of recommendations. If I am in legal trouble I talk to a lawyer If I want to learn about vaccines I talk to my doctor.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The good news: CDC's webpages have been restored following court orders. The bad news: many have this despicable banner attached to them. We will be getting into misconceptions in gender ideology in a later post. For now, we are hurt and ashamed, and we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community.

As a long-time critic of medical misinformation, I have often gotten push back for taking on fringe targets: supplement peddlers like Dr. Oz or anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. Why not focus on the people in power, I was told? Sadly, now I am.

The terrible thing is, I agree with the overall RFK Jr. premise that big pharma is a problem. But what I want fixed is: * Pharmacy benefit managers inflating consumer drug prices * Generic psychiatric drugs that don’t act reliably * Price gouging/discontinuation of old, reliable medications

RFK says school shootings are due to anti-depressants. And the number one killer of youth is drug addiction. FALSE. The number one killer of American youth is GUNS. School shootings occur bc of GUNS. Man, they’ll do anything to avoid gun regulation.

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵
