They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

Nothing about this will “make America healthy again.” Nothing about this is about fiscal responsibility. This is about undermining medical education, medical research, and making healthcare inaccessible to those who need it the most.

Make no mistake, removing the CDC recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines for kids and pregnant women is going to kill people, and it will disproportionately affect people who cannot afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket.

Do not forget that this decision was made without a confirmed CDC Director.

Our future does not look bright, folks. We have to change course, and soon, if we want to protect our health and the health of future generations.

Medical advancements are great and have brought us so far, but our special hubris-driven blind stupidity is going to undo so much of that progress.

You don’t order shredding/burning documents like this unless you have something to hide.

This is actually against the law according to the Federal Records Act of 1950.

What will it take for Congress to wake up and actually do something before it’s too late?

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re with you.

Sincerely,

Decent Americans

A good moment to remind everyone how phenomenally effective the measles vaccine is. No one should die of measles. Not in the United States. Not anywhere. Vaccines save lives.

I said last night on CNN that CDC had just lost over a thousand workers. This includes an entire class of Epidemic Intelligence Service. These are the disease detectives. How will this make America healthy again?

The concerted effort to cover up/remove non-whiteness from their presence is astounding.

Don’t let them tell you they’re about saving money. They paid for the paint and the labor to literally whitewash their walls.

In honor of my dad, nicknamed Frog, who passed away last week, and in acknowledgment of the fact that we clearly need more high quality science educational material out there, postcard purchased. Much love to the Hank and SciShow team.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Download CDC Guidelines Removed By The Trump Admin The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

#medsky Looking for CDC guidelines that are no longer available?

“Any Obgyn of any political persuasion would tell you this is a very bad idea. There are 1680 boxes of categories total, so while I like to think we’re pretty smart, physicians like good resources to confirm we’re doing right by patients.”

As another MD said: “As a physician this is incredibly concerning. The administration removed the risk stratification reference chart used to help confirm if patients can safely use medications for birth control, endometriosis, heavy periods etc. These charts have been validated for > 20 years.

Healthcare friends—time to start screenshotting any CDC reference charts you like to refer back to from time to time. More and more pages no longer available online.

The National Embarrassment: RFK Jr The dark side of scientific history is that it has been used by bigots to justify racial discrimination, eugenics, and gas chambers. RFK Jr is trying to bring that back.

No matter how much people want to believe that COVID is no worse than the “common cold,” the evidence shows otherwise.

Let’s let our opinions be informed by science and not wishful thinking or willful ignorance.
