“Immunizations work, they are very effective and safe, and they save lives. Vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and effective tools in public health.” Kudos to AAFP, AAP, ACOG, ACP, IDSA for this. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

"None of the NIH officials I spoke with for this story could recall another time in their agency’s history when staff have spoken out so publicly against a director. But none of them could recall, either, ever seeing the NIH so aggressively jolted away from its core mission." - Katherine J Wu

In Boston, @celinegounder.com is giving a fiery convocation address at Harvard School of Public Health talking about #misinfo in public health: “The current administration is waging a war on science, and that can be seen most clearly on the issue of vaccines.” #IDsky 🧪

And hospitals (and long term care facilities and etc) are already looking at a big hit from Medicare/Medicaid cuts. What's the opposite of a developing nation? Regressing nation? That's the US right now.

There are thousands of residents who are supposed to start in less than a month in hospitals across the US who cannot enter the country. There is going to be a major staffing crisis across the country but especially in rural and urban hospitals than rely on international medical graduates. #MedSky

RFK Jr’s elimination of Covid-19 vaccine 😡 for children and during pregnancy is unsupported by science and indefensible. Please read and share what the CDC had recommended (and why!) up until now ⤵️

RFK Jr: “We will create an honest, unbiased, gold-standard science at HHS, accountable to the President, to Congress, and the American people.” Here is the list of cuts not advertised or reviewed but instead pieced together by us from leaks. The programs in bold (most) have ALREADY been cut.
