She was treated like a voting member and was even called on by the chair for her vote. The FDA is there as a resource to answer questions the committee asks of them and she just wanted to hold court on a topic she clearly knows little about.

RFK Jr must resign and I believe those of us who work in healthcare, public health, health research, or any related field should demand his resignation

Please watch this excellent documentary made by teens who first hand report the importance of PEPFAR & devastating consequences without it. Contact Congress & urge them to save PEPFAR. Lives will be lost without it. Special thanks to Dr. Tony Fauci for agreeing to be interviewed

RFK Jr. says US wonโ€™t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

If only it was โ€œunseriousโ€. Itโ€™s deliberate misinformation aka disinformation. The false citations, false statements about harm from MMR, that measles is harmless & disallowing publication in highly regarded journals are all grounds for removal from his position. He must resign.

Urgent. Speak up. No changes to COVID vax recs. FDA public comment thru Fri 5/23.Takes 5 min. Choose Fed Govt in drop down. Kids die of COVID. โฌ†๏ธ long COVID is inevitable. Follow globally respected vax approval process thru ACIP not a unilateral FDA circumvention.

Keeping With Kennedyโ€™s Advice, Measles Patients Turn to Unproven Treatments In West Texas, some with severe illness have not been taken to a doctor until their conditions worsened, officials said.

As usual, voiceless children are the ones to suffer the most. Vaccinate with 2 doses of MMRโ€”the ONLY thing that prevents measles. And get prompt proper medical care if sick with measles (call first). TX Board of Medical Examiners, are you on this?

Either time or vaccinations will end this outbreak.

The former will involve more mortality and death than the latter.

Thanks for speaking up, @patsykene.bsky.social

Yes & this is the MO of RFKJ, Del Bigtree, Andrew Wakefield to swoop in (Samoa, Minneapolis, Dallas, New York) during a public health emergency & make matters much, much worse by spreading disinformation & fear, plastering messages the opposite of public health & peds experts are working to get out

On this day, 12/24 in 1940 Anthony Fauci was born & became a gift to us all. We will never be able to count the number of lives he has saved from AIDS to COVID with his tenacity, intellect & compassion. Nor will we be able to thank him properly for what he & his family have given us all. HBD Tony!๐ŸŽ
