Casey Means is an ableist grifter who thinks disease and death are your fault for not buying the $45 olive oil from a “regenerative farm” that she has an affiliate link for. She did not complete residency and is not board certified in any recognized medical specialty.

RFK Jr cut HICPAC, the group responsible for reducing hospital acquired infections. He cut NIOSH, a group dedicated to protecting workers and certifying PPE. Vinay Prasad, a vaccine skeptic, gets a key role at FDA They’re not ending the chronic illness epidemic, they’re ending the chronically ill

Clearly the way to be successful as US climate scientists in the age of Trump is to claim that humans don't cause climate change, CO₂ is plant food, and rant against DEI. Then we'll get appointed to high-level positions at federal agencies and can reward ourselves with funding without peer review.

The climate is always changing? - True, to some degree, but we would be in a cooling phase if not for our pollution. And the *rate of warming* is 10 x what it has ever been. #climatechange #myths and #news

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming. Could these be the real culprits? The evidence is in--and the answer is NO. This thread explains! 🧵

#homeopathy #science A magician flips a real coin having both heads and tails. The coins come up as heads ten times in a row. How does he do it? The magic in this trick explains three ways that the results of clinical trials can fool us. Can you name them?

Informative but concerning (scary) read on the rapid changes & threats to US nat'l, state, & local public health systems coming from HHS, including RFK Jr. & his contrarian underlings overseeing portfolios at FDA, NIH, & other agencies. Medsky 😷🧪📈 idsky lawsky sociology health policy polisky

This is a really excellent summary of the current issues, including the consequences for those who work at NIH, scientists embarking on their careers, patients involved in clinical trials, and scientific advancements in this country. It’s all bleak, and they didn’t really sugarcoat it.

Not that the cause matters to patients, but a science-related question arises -- if the risk is related to the conditioning w fludarabine chemo or prior therapy - and not the cellular therapy. Myeloid neoplasms after CD19-directed CAR T cells therapy #lymphoma pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40275069/

I seem to remember a pledge that RFK, Jr. would not take away vaccine access. I guess he was being sarcastic.
