Even disregarding the lie meant to scare people, this increase is a good thing! These people are against preventing infections, disease, and death. Meaning they are in favor of more infections, disease, and death

I know I'm banging this drum a lot, but a) it's my book and I'll promote if I want to and b) this went up today so what's an author to do? MIT news has a lovely piece up about So Very Small. news.mit.edu/2025/tiny-or.... Here's the closing quote:

@jvl.bsky.social I am normally at least open to your "let the voters have what they asked for" theory, but not on vaccines. We're on the inflection point for measles vaccination, and screwing up means kids are going to die jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

RFK Jr. has released the names of the first 8 members of his fraudulent ACIP committee. Robert Malone is one of them. Malone’s greatest talents are self-promotion and the amplification of vaccine misinformation and disinformation. He is a fraud. www.nytimes.com/2022/04/03/t...

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Seems a good time to invite Sen Britt to watch an NIH review panel (aka study section) analyze piles of grants over several days to identify the <10% that win funding. Applications that scientists spent months preparing, whose peers spent weeks poring through in advance of review mtg at NIH.

Anyone who has ever gotten an NIH review knows that NIH review is extremely rigorous---arguably, rigorous to a fault, because there isn't enough money to fund all the amazing research being done, so you basically have to guarantee it will succeed to get funded. That's not how science should work.

This is maddening. There are so so many great ideas that are not funded because of how competitive grants are And fucking YEARS of Republican demagoguing about this means that if anything, there's a bias towards the safe rather than the truly innovative. The solution is more funding not less🧪

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

If you have never stuck a needle in the back of an infant and watched pus drip out please don’t tell me I am overreacting to RFK Jr.’s latest assault on science.

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

I am hopeful of this too, but it can't wait. If things continue like this for the next 18 months, we will lose huge swaths of our biomedical (and I assume other fields) workforce, including me I am an early stage investigator, and if I don't get grant funding in the next 2 years, I can't continue 🧪

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

Look, acknowledging the fact that life is fleeting is a worthy spiritual practice - we will all die, and the shortness of life is an impetus to make the most of our brief moment. It's not an invitation to hasten the death of as many people as possible.

The UC Santa Cruz graduate student was one of hundreds of international students, including at least two others at UCSC, who had their records revoked in April. It’s not clear why the students were targeted.
