The chair of the #ACIP is a #COVID-contrarian, Martin Kulldorff, as are others on the committee (i.e., Robert Malone). COVID-contrarians also have hands on the lever of vaccine policy at #FDA (i.e., Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Hoeg), at #NIH (i.e., Jay Bhattacharya). 1/

@who.int calls for protection of public health excellence in the US CDC

Best piece I've read so far on Dem strategy for the shut down fight this month. The one thing I'd add is this: Dems need to state their demands ASAP. Last time they promised they had a plan...and then they surrendered at the last minute. Say what you're fighting for! bsky.app/profile/jenr...

Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress.
