An infographic summarizing the status of Fall COVID vaccines:

A lie—
told again & again—
doesn’t grow true.
It only grows louder.

AI—
threatens jobs with healthcare—
the very care
you just cancelled.

Children—
raised by adults
who’ve been taught not to think—
are not the future,
but the past.

You will understand these things.
But by then—
too late.

Ozempic for teens? Here are three things for parents to consider when it comes to GLP-1 agonists.

Wow.

That’s fair. Yet a boss’s behavior has an impact esp. on who stays. As federal workers are being treated with no measures of respect or kindness, a Hegseth-like person could take over, remove women, shout at staff, use lie detectors, mandate loyalty oaths, and make working at NIH (more) intolerable.

I’m glad he sat down w/ them and that they Killed it. It’s obvious he’s an apologist for RFK Jr. I don’t agree with Jay on many things and I’m certain he’s on the wrong side of public health history; that said, I don’t believe he is mean,toxic or narcissistic. It’s a low bar but NIH could do worse.

Like Goldberg in The Atlantic:
“Trump’s main goal, it seemed, was to convince us that he has placed his presidency in service of the nation and of humanity. (A subsidiary goal was to ask us if we thought he should hang a chandelier in the Oval Office. The Atlantic takes no position on that matter.)”

Let it Rip How Misguided Bird Flu Science Puts Us at Risk

Should we sit back and let bird flu select a survival of the fittest path rather than intervening? You probably don’t have to read this Substack to know my take but if you have two mins….

“…if you’re okay with masked agents hauling people off the streets with no names, no faces, and no accountability—you’ve crossed a line. That’s not conservatism. That’s authoritarianism.”

Congress is moving backward on funding for Alzheimer's disease research | Opinion I wonder if the politicians who voted for the NIH budget know anyone affected by Alzheimer’s or what it’s like to lose someone to dementia.

A beautiful piece written by a former classmate and native Oklahoman on preserving NIH funding: “I made a promise to never forget the people I love whose minds have been decayed by this disease.”

Don't Trust, Verify What happens when you actually read the studies behind bold claims?

What happens when you *read* the studies behind the bold claims? I walk you through an HHS report & three of its citations in ~ 5 minutes. I hope you think it’s worth the dive into HHS's FAQ on new vaccine recommendations distributed to members of Congress.

So that’s discouraging.

I think that this is the wrong Mike Lee. I keep seeing this on my feed but worry it is not real and yet spreading.

The ACIP Purge: A Dangerous Deflection ""If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away." RFK Jr

Learn more at my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/sciences...

Every member of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practice was purged by RFK Jr today. This is a setup for ACIP to stop recommending vaccines, meaning Medicare, Medicaid, & private payers won't pay for new vaccines. MAHA? It's MADA: Make Americans Die (of vaccine-preventable disease) Again.

Lies, Damn Lies, & Misinformation A time-sensitive post about Dr. Prasad's (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)) comments this week suggesting we lack "gold standard" science on vaccines.

I listen to the news when I walk the dog, and today, I felt an urgency to hang up her leash and sit down to make this video about why claiming we lack "gold standard" vaccine trials is false and deadly.

This feels like a "spot the logical fallacy" quiz. Low uptake--one of the major justifications given for this change--is not and should not be a criteria for vaccine approvals.
