Good thread on thimerosal and vaccines, which really isn’t “a thing” and has been extensively evaluated. Nevertheless, sigh, on the “ACIP” agenda next meeting.

The 17 recently dismissed members of ACIP have written a letter do JAMA expressing their concerns about the abrupt dismissal and replacement 2 days later of 8 individuals. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

And this is a doctor who has done vaccine research. I was a subject in one of his trials (link below) back in the late 90s. His legacy is garbage now. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11335734/

This is Barron and his son, Carlos. Carlos just came home from an exhausting first day of puppy school. Barron is really proud of him. 13/10 Happy Father's Day, Barron

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Legend out protesting today ✊🪧

Especially when the politics takes over the medicine!!! Not many licensed (or practicing) physicians between those leading HHS, NIH, FDA

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

I heard this morning that my informatics colleague Dr. Atul Butte passed after a battle with cancer. He was a giant in the field & inspired many of us over his distinguished career. He was a passionate champion of the power of big data & his impact on our field is immeasurable. RIP Atul & thanks.

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

The report HHS sent to congress to justify changes in vaccine recommendations for healthy non-elderly & pregnant people has all kinds of misrepresentations/errors as outlined by this report & clearly does not accurately reflect the state of the scientific literature kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

South Carolina is beautiful, has nice people, and great food. If I actually lived here, I would vote for @drannieandrews.com and you should too!

CDC’s new measles checklist for summer camps. Ensure your camper is *fully vaccinated* at least 2 weeks before attending camp. 🏕️

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )
