Suppressing data will not make birdflu disappear Firing USDA staff will not help end the outbreak. Crippling public health agencies will not bring down egg prices. Viruses don't consider politics in how they spread and adapt. They seize opportunity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This data is way too limited but this could be a cure for pancreatic cancer. How can we know if it is? And if it is, how can we access it? By funding scientific research. And with health agencies that can review data to ensure safety & efficacy, approve new treatments, & make sure they are covered.

Saying this again because true to MO, the RFK Jr. crew is blaming US measles outbreaks on the vaccine: there is no such thing as an outbreak of measles caused by the measles vaccine. It has literally never happened. Furthermore, in the data we have, all but 4 cases in Texas are unvaccinated or...

"Wakefield et al were guilty of deliberate fraud (they picked and chose data that suited their case; they falsified facts). The British Medical Journal has published a series of articles on the exposure of the fraud, which appears to have taken place for financial gain."

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

Up to 300 people are now suspected to have measles in the Texas outbreak. Most are children, 13 of whom have been hospitalized. Without vaccination, the outbreak could go on for months.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Children’s hospitals rely on federal funding - through grants/medicaid to function.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Pro Tip : Health departments in the US are still reporting on outbreaks in individual states. While this may vary based on the political leadership in your state, your state's department of health website is still a valuable resource to stay updated on local outbreaks that could directly affect you.

Remember to look up at the stars & not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see & wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. Stephen Hawking
