Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I can't read it, the type is too small.

Post from RFK Jr.’s Twitter account that says Genes don't cause epidemics. They may provide a vulnerability, but you need an environmental toxin — and we know what it is. It's sugar and ultra-processed foods.

Genes also don’t confer honesty, integrity or leadership skills, Mr. Kennedy.

On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said:

“The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”.

These vaccines saved 3.2M lives in the U.S.

He is running a disinformation op against Americans.

You will get your mRNA-based neoantigen therapy in China, if you have the means to get there and pay for the treatment.

I'm a scientist, worked with mRNA my whole career. This is breakthrough fuel. The only thing I can synthesize is that he's working for a hostile government. Disable our ability to create rapid responses, then the fatal virus emerges. He dismantled the system to rapidly respond to a threat.

RFK Jr. is targeting mRNA technology, a major scientific advancement that allowed for the rapid development of coronavirus vaccines. wapo.st/4lhtvKe

On the Talking Biotech podcast series we are discussing the 10 year anniversary of @IARCWHO 's landmark classification of #glyphosate as a probable carcinogen. I'm looking for anyone that wants to defend this classification and the literature suggesting undue risk from this product. DM me!

Technically speaking, you do have a point. I was just consumed in sadness and disbelief. Victims of disinformation.

She's not too sure about how this works. I wish that I could buy her a beer and a pizza and draw it out on napkins. It breaks my heart that something as elegant as mRNA is so poorly understood.

10 Learnings from the 10 Years After IARC’s Glyphosate Monograph 112 Marking a Dark Date in the Greed and Opportunism of NGOs, Activists and the Litigation Industry

Ten years ago this week, IARC published their glyphosate monograph. @zaruk reflects on the opportunism, greed, lies and collusion of scientists with NGOs and the US litigation industry. Ten years of learnings on how perception and policy were manipulated. www.thefirebreak.org/p/10-learnin...

And this is where evidence really helps!

10 years after #glyphosate controversial @IARCWHO classification @zaruk describes the backstory of the decision- the legal collusion, suppression of evidence, and payoffs usually pinned on Big Ag interests. Read @the_firebreak or listen to us discuss here. open.spotify.com/episode/7trt...

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Talking Biotech with Dr. Kevin Folta: Glyphosate: 10 Lessons from 10 Years After IARC - Dr. David Zaruk. Have a listen:

HPV vaccination and malignancy risks beyond cervical cancer: A retrospective global cohort study While HPV vaccination is well established for the prevention of cervical cancer, its broader oncological effects remain insufficiently characterized. …

HPV vaccine has benefit beyond cervical cancers. Analysis of databases of vaccinated and unvaccinated populations show decreased incidence of some cancers, not others, in HPV vaccinated populations when compared to non-vaccinated. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wait, where have I heard this before?

Talking Biotech 469 is about #pig domestication, when and where did these wonderful animals join the human experience? I speak with Dr. Jajing Wang from @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social about the novel approaches she used to answer these questions. share.transistor.fm/s/b5001d85

I use this image in class. So many great examples of the phenomenon, yet so few get it on first blush.

Another giant in the history of biotech hhas left us. Dr. William Rutter was central in many seminal discoveries in biotech. He isolated the gene for insulin (from rats), and I remember reading his 1969 paper that demonstrated three major RNA polymerase activities. He also founded Chiron.

That's Bumble. He's our Idaho Pasture Pig boar. He's the one that makes beautiful babies. And that Simpons thing is spot on. A magical, magical animal.

I love that time has been kind. What I said back then, the stuff that led critics to go after my career and livelihood, is still true today. I'll ride the slander to the grave. But the good news is there's nothing they can do to me now. I survived, and am more empowered to teach and inform. #effem

Thank you Marc. I downloaded and will read tonight.
