Slide with the title “The anti-vaccination movement has no new material”. Montague R. Leverson, Lawyer, Liar, Quack 1895 Robert F. Kennedy, Lawyer, Liar, Quack 2025 Accuse expert vaccine advisory committees of pro-vaccine "bias" "That commission was deliberately packed at its very outset..." "The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine". Falsely state that vaccines cause death "Vaccination has caused more deaths and diseases than ever has smallpox". "This [COVID19 vaccine] is the deadliest vaccine ever made..." Claim that healthcare practitioners and scientists are only in it for the money, not because of scientific evidence "...Jenner was a mercenary charlatan whose ignorance and impatience of scientific methods were equaled only by his mendacity..." "Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They're pressured to follow the money, not the science". Use false and inflammatory words about vaccines The "Blood-poisoning process of vaccination" "They went on a search... looking for the most toxic things that they could find...to

The anti-vaccine movement has the same talking points now as it did in the 1800’s. It’s always been a rejection of science, scientists, and progress, with a soupçon of paranoia.

Below is a slide for a talk I’m preparing that illustrates the identical strategies. I have more examples, too.

Who could have predicted that the end of the American Empire would have been so pathetic.

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...

Guyz, even the *historians* are leaving or contemplating / likely to go. Including, at least 3 historians that I know of in my subfield. 😢

FDA restricts use of kids' fluoride supplements citing emerging health risks The Food and Drug Administration is restricting the use of fluoride supplements used to strengthen children’s teeth.

First RFK Jr. wanted to take fluoride out of water and has had some success in Republican jurisdictions that think scientific evidence is for chumps.

But that wasn’t enough harm for him, so now he’s restricting kids’ access to fluoride supplements.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

The crowd tonight in Norfolk, Virginia for Abigail Spanberger and Barack Obama. LET’S GO!!!

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

Measles outbreak investigation in Utah blocked by patient who refuses to talk The person refused to even tell health officials their address.

The right-wing war against public health means that now a person has refused to cooperate with a case investigation that exists for the sole purpose of minimizing the risk to others.

Really selfish behavior from a suspected measles case in Utah.

From the guy currently running The Charlie Kirk Show. Because of course.

ICE’s undercover officers in plainclothes abducted Sindi Moreno while she was leaving to drop her daughter off at elementary school in Houston. The agent in civilian clothing assaulted and attempted to kidnap Sindi as she and her child desperately fought him off.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Another screw turns in the machinery of authoritarian government. The Trump Regime project to destroy democracy, the United States, human civilization and the planet’s ecosystem is proceeding along very nicely.

White House issues new rule restricting access for journalists A new White House rule issued Friday restricts the ability of credentialed journalists to freely access the offices of press secretary Karoline Leavitt and other top communications officials in the West Wing, near the Oval Office.

Trump on Mark Carney: "He apologized for what they did with the commercial. Because it was a false commercial. It was the exact opposite. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. And he did apologize."

That’s how it always is. Just before the bubble bursts, it all looks unstoppable and everyone is piling in. And there’s huge overspending in infrastructure. The actual reality is that so-called “AI” is nothing of the sort, is absolute garbage and has few profitable uses outside of research. Boom!!

The great AI buildout shows no sign of slowing A momentous week in the technology sector made it clear there is no sign the boom in building artificial intelligence infrastructure is slowing — despite the bubble talk.

There is nothing legal, constitutional or justified about these military actions. It is the responsibility of members of the military, from the top to the bottom, to refuse to carry out these criminal actions. I was just following orders is not a valid defense.

US reportedly poised to strike military targets in Venezuela

The Trump administration has reportedly made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and strikes could come at any moment.

The planned attacks will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Nicolás Maduro.

For context, the Heritage Foundation is running an initiative to ostensibly fight antisemitism by attacking George Soros and other exemplars of International Jewry www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

The penultimate form of anti-semitism is to use accusations of it as a pretext for hate and racism.

In Big Win for Voters and Democrats, Court Blocks Trump’s Demand for Voter ID on Registration Form Read more here.

NEW STORY: In a major win for voters, a federal court permanently blocks a provision of Trump’s anti-voting order requiring proof-of-citizenship for voter registration, holding that the president lacks authority over election regulation.

Lies, lies and more lies. I wouldn’t believe anything that comes from Trump and the Trump Regime. It’s all lies, propaganda, misinformation and more lies. Always. Eventually there is blowback, and the sooner the better.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
