The American Academy of Pediatrics is suing HHS & RFK Jr. for scrapping vaccine guidance, while the AAP's recent stance on GMO's echoed the same anti-science stance.

The Dirty Dozen produce report is an effective yet disingenuous fear campaign.

MAHA’s fixation on seed oils and food processing is a distraction from the real culprits—added sugar, sodium, and ultra-cheap calories. The risk isn’t seed oil; it’s letting RFK dictate the science.

There is no credible evidence that seed oils cause inflammation. None. But @RobertKennedyJr. wants to replace them with beef tallow—ignoring major studies showing plant oils reduce heart disease risk. One Harvard study even found that swapping butter for seed oils lowers mortality.

Prop 65 was meant to protect Californians. It became a racket driven by fear, not science. @RFKJr and Scientology-linked firm @WisnerBaum lead the legal jackals, cashing in on chemophobia. At the heart of this under-reported conspiracy?

@HHSGov’s MAHA agenda sells a fantasy—swapping precision ag and evidence-based tools for higher costs and lower yields. Science says pesticides, especially the demonized glyphosate, determined safe by every risk agency in the world, more than 15--reduce toxicity and emissions.

He also ignores this truth: removing modern chemical inputs won’t make food healthier, just more expensive, and the environmental benefits are negligible at best. Plus, 'Organic foods cost at least 20% more' and aren’t safer or more nutritious. He’s drinking the Kool-Aid.

RFK Jr. calls for a pivot to 'regenerative, no-till, and less chemically intensive' ag, even though it’s clear he has no clue what that means. Organic farming, which he touts, involves tilling while using genetic engineering, which he demonizes, does not. So his ‘agenda’ makes no scientific sense.

They account for just 1–2% of total PFAS use, yet are essential to clean energy, medical devices, semiconductors, and EV technology. No global regulator—including the EU’s @EU_ECHA, @bfren, @GovCanHealth, or the @OECD — classifies fluoropolymers as unsafe.

New Mexico’s decision to exempt fluoropolymers from its PFAS ban reflects what France’s regulatory authorities recognize: fluoropolymers are not a public health risk. These high molecular weight compounds are non-toxic, non-mobile, and too large to bioaccumulate.

Viewpoint: Every independent risk agency in the world has concluded that the herbicide glyphosate is safe as used. What about its impact on wildlife, soil and watersheds?

Once again, it is currently i...

Environmentalists targeting glyphosate ignore the irony: it’s a tool that helps protect aquatic ecosystems. Precision herbicide use supports sustainable land use. Reckless bans ignore the bigger picture—and the real ecological consequences. @Dirt_To_Dinner

Glyphosate doesn’t move easily through soil—but erosion does. When herbicide bans force a return to tillage, it’s not just nutrients that wash away. 'Eroding soil creates more risk than glyphosate does in the watershed,' says @OregonState’s Dan Wysocki.

The MMR vaccine has been used for more than 50 years and is why the United States successfully eliminated measles in 2000. Since then, activists have chipped away at vaccine confidence by claiming that vaccines are linked to autism despite more than a dozen studies disproving any association.

There are a lot of ostensibly “pro-vaccine” physicians out there who, because they like how RFK Jr. includes an emphasis on “chronic disease” in his dubious “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) slogan, have been willing to ignore RFK Jr.’s 20 years of rabid antivaccine activism,

The key thing RFK, Jr. shares in common with his prospective new boss: he makes batty statements about science and files nuisance suit after nuisance suit against those who criticize him. Most are filed by his faux health information, Children’s Health Defense.

It’s safe to say that the only thing Trump cares about is whether RFK, Jr. will be a loyal lackey in his administration. Any doubts about that were answered during his Pinocchio-like confirmation hearings.

Anti-science advocacy isn’t just a problem on one side—it’s a bipartisan issue driven by ideology rather than evidence. @JonEntine explains how shifting political narratives shape issues like vaccine hesitancy, with Marin County as a prime example.
