It’s incredibly telling that in the Senate HELP hearing that is going on right now, Dr. Monarez is repeatedly saying that ACIP needs to show their data.

Yet with less than 24 hours to go before they meet, RFK Jr.’s fake ACIP still hasn’t posted their data.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “Have you reviewed the docs where the victims name the people?”

PATEL: “No.”

MASSIE: “So how can you tell the senate there are no names?” 🤔

SWALWELL: “If Trump isn’t implicated why not release everything that involves him?”

PATEL: *loses it*

This is no accident. Remember, DHS did the same thing a few weeks ago. They love using Nazi imagery.

As I said more earlier and as the WSJ Editorial Board says now,

“RFK Jr. indicated last week that he plans to lower the standard of evidence so more claims can be compensated. **He also wants to let attorneys collect bigger payouts**”.

And by “attorneys” I mean RFK Jr. himself. Corruption.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Aka Bill Cassidy M.D.

RFK Jr. isn’t going to “fix” the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program as he claims. He is going to destroy it. And after that, pharmaceutical companies will likely pull out of the vaccine market.

This means that Americans will have egregiously limited access to lifesaving vaccines.

This year, Freedom Caucus members have insisted they’d oppose—then voted for:

• A continuing resolution
• A debt limit hike
• Increasing the debt
• SALT cap hike
• House budget
• Senate budget
• House reconciliation bill
• Senate reconciliation bill

Halfway thru 2025.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Is Trump’s base racist? Social scientists begin to weigh in Is President Donald Trump’s base racist? Social scientists are beginning to weigh in

Sociologists come to shocking conclusion: Trump’s biggest supporters are motivated by bigotry and want him to hurt the people they dislike. (gift link) www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of?

RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times

Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

People are still out here trying to say that RFK Jr. might have some “good ideas”.

There are no pros to this con.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

NIH’ers and all HHS people:
Remember, if they put you on admin leave today that’s not a firing, not until a legal RIF is completed. We are going to fight this.

Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research.

This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did.
But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.
