He’s like a mayor who hired an arsonist to be fire chief then claims to be shocked when his city is burning down.

He should be held personally responsible for the consequences

When asked if the CDC was still a reliable source of public-health information, the employees said that most of the public-facing information remained unchanged. A critical problem was that there didn’t appear to be a good way for the public to discern the difference between accurate and politicized messaging. “I don’t know how they would distinguish that,” the Chronic Center staffer said. “There’s not a disclaimer saying posts were approved by political appointees and not by career scientists, so I don’t know.”

He sold us out for an asterisk.

Gosh, I hope the lamprey is okay.

RFK Jr., American Psycho He needs to go. Now.

The man has to go. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Trump era is going to end, one way or another.

And when it does, we will be ready to build back public health even better than it was.

We will never forget what has been done by these liars, grifters and thieves.

The US is on track to lose its measles elimination status in months. RFK needs to go. Canada has lost its measles elimination status and the U.S. is likely to be next. These failures are the result of the anti-vaccination movement, bolstered by the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ...

As we said in our article today, Robert F. Kennedy MUST GO.

This man is more dangerous to the health and lives of the people of the U.S. than any other cabinet member.

CDC Vaccine Website Promotes Anti-Science Claims of Autism Ties The agency this week quietly changed its official language to suggest vaccines may cause autism, a claim that scientists say has no basis in evidence

Unless they mean doing away with fiat money. Could be either.

I propose that Sen* Bill* Cassidy* be forever written in this fashion.

If there was any doubt at all that the CDC is fully destroyed, this page on autism and vaccines on its website confirms it. It's now just another vessel of dangerous health misinformation. I have no words. This is beyond sad.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

I’m sure he knows that ACA insurance plans are sold through a marketplace.

He knows this just like he knew RFK Jr would destroy our measles eradication status — then voted for him anyway.

Imagine if NASA posted this:

“The claim ‘the earth is not flat’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility.”

CDC is now claiming that correlation *might* be causation and pledges to keep doing "gold standard" science until they get the answer they want.

Hair care purchases are a PERFECT analogy for health care purchases. You never know when you might need hair care and a bad hair day might be disabling or even fatal!

"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier

The president is proposing that we take the 1 trillion gallons of water that fire departments use every year and give each American a 5-gallon bucket to fight house fires on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer.

Close your eyes, imagine being paralyzed… unable to breathe

Imagine being stuck in a claustrophobic iron lung, to breathe

Maybe we all need to time travel, to appreciate how science & public health save us, every single day?

Ibuprofen is safe and effective. MAHA ableism is worse than useless.

The many problems with the FDA’s big menopause announcement No, it doesn't kill women or cause divorce.

Great piece on the FDA and menopause hormone therapy in @motherjones.com it is the most medically accurate coverage I have read from the press! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I identify with Carol.
