I mean he’s not wrong if someone’s head has been like smashed or something.
But the way I cackled reading through that. Damn it Huberman 😂

Their loss for not knowing about the shy away, backslide, the line, the contract, car radio, etc. screams!

Me reading these other comments amazed because rock’s origins and the breadth of the genre is so vast lol. This band’s live show is so rock (even if it doesn’t fit a narrow perspective of what rock should be like, according to one or even a group of people)

Sept. 22, 2025, 5:46 p.m. ET3 hours ago Christina Jewett F.D.A. reporter My inbox is already lighting up. Arthur Caplan, the founding head of the division of medical ethics at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine, wrote: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science.”

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

a dirt road going through a desert landscape with mountains in the background ALT: a dirt road going through a desert landscape with mountains in the background

So much focus on the causes of autism, but has anyone seen/heard much from RFK Jr./HHS (even Dept. of Education) about resources devoted to improving services for people with autism, including children and their parents? I sure haven't.

Retsef Levi, extreme anti-vaxx activist who wants Covid vaccines pulled from the market, is wrong again

Covid vaccination REDUCES your risk of Long Covid

One meta-analysis of 4 studies found that full vaccination prior to infection could reduce the risk by 27%

ACIP voted 7-3 to NOT recommend MMRV combo vaccine for kids <4yo. Then in a confusing second vote (1 yes, 8 no, 3 abstentions - some citing confusion), they kept VFC coverage for the same vaccine they just said not to use.
This chaos matters for every family. 1/8

Every time these "ACIP members" say anything within the domain of immunology I want to scream. I have yet to hear them correctly explain any aspect of the human immune system.

Trump officials plan to use VAERS data to link COVID vaccine to child deaths. VAERS is not research. VAERS is simply a database of stuff that happened. It cannot and does not show causation. This is junk. Don’t fall for it. Thank you.

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

They want a COVID shot to protect their health or at-risk family. They can't get it Though the FDA narrowed criteria for the shots, many people still want them, to avoid illness and protect vulnerable family members. Some are turned down at the pharmacy or have to jump through hoops.

RFK Jr. ally’s ‘smoking gun’ study on vaccines and chronic illness is fundamentally flawed Bogus study on vaccines and chronic illness presented at Senate presents “a dangerous precedent for how science is weighed in policymaking,” infectious disease expert writes.

“The most glaring problem is detection bias, which occurs when one group gets examined more frequently than another, leading to more diagnoses regardless of actual disease rates.”

Look: I can’t stand's RFK Jr. But if you come into my replies suggesting the problem is his former heroin use, please leave. Stigmatizing drug users is not OK with me. He’s a terrible person. Opioids have nothing to do with that.

I just issued an executive order to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota.

While the Trump Administration attempts to limit Americans’ access to preventative care, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and the freedom to seek out medical expertise.

In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines. "Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie." In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022. "I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."

Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”

But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.

I wonder if all of the 50 yr+ Republican Senators who voted to confirm a vaccine conspiracy theorist to lead HHS got their shingles vaccine.

I’m honored to be testifying before the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations this Tuesday at 2pm ET on vaccine science.

My focus: the overwhelming, transparent evidence for vaccine safety - and how to separate rigorous studies from flawed claims.

If you're looking to get the latest COVID-19 vaccine, epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina has two recommendations: call your doctor, and call your insurance company.

Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.

It's also a good time for researchers to speak up if they find their research has been incorrectly used to push "autism epidemic" narratives.

Federal Report on Drinking Is Withdrawn

Hi! Hello!

This is fascism!

And bc I’m writing my dissertation on alcohol use, I figured I’d give a high level overview for interested parties…

A thread 🧵

what if everyone in the US just like had a research/stats class real quick. just for fun.

Aside from the incredibly flimsy evidence claiming a link between ASD and acetaminophen use in pregnancy, there is something remarkably cruel about effectively trying to restrict one of very few pain medications that are known to be safe in pregnancy.

You can now sign up for the lottery to speak at the next mtg of RFK's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice 9/18-9/19. Especially since they removed med orgs as liaisons, this is the only way they will receive critical feedback.

A short explanation of p-hacking and why it absolutely makes sense to ask HHS to release the study methods of their autism report in advance.

Vaccine Volume 63, 17 September 2025, 127676 Commentary COVID-19 vaccinations in America: Don't forget long COVID and the post-acute sequelae by Peter J. Hotez https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2025.127676

My concern is the new FDA guidance does not consider COVID’s post-acute sequelae. In 2025, researchers at Penn Medicine and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative (to understand, treat, and prevent the post- acute sequelae of COVID-19) reported their findings on almost 400,000 children and adolescents. They found that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine was greater than 95 % effective against long COVID among adolescents during the delta wave in 2021, and more than more than 60 % effective against long COVID in children and 75 % among adolescents during omicron wave in 2022 [7]. Similarly, a Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System study of more than 400,000 veterans with COVID-19 and over 4 million non-infected controls found significant reductions in post-acute sequelae events among those vaccinated [8]. Additional studies support the benefits of booster vaccinations to prevent long COVID in the omicron era [9].

For now, the decision to receive an annual COVID-19 for groups not considered to be at the highest risk for death or hospitalization should remain between the patient (or the patient’s caregivers) and their doctor. This practice is consistent with the health freedom tenets of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) philosophy and is very much in line with “a balance of regulatory flexibility and a commitment to gold- standard science,” which in fact has always been the philosophy and practices of the FDA and CDC and their advisory committees. Along those lines, the FDA, CDC, and NIH should redouble their commitment to support research into the molecular, cellular, and immunological mechanisms of COVID’s post-acute sequelae, and how vaccines prevent these serious complications. Instead, we are just learning about the cuts to the budget of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and a potential dismantling of government support for infectious disease research in America. The simple reality is that gold-standard science simply cannot be maintained should MAHA dogmas replace scientific research and development.

LongCovid is "not rare...In addition to its health burden...economic estimates show...longCOVID could result in billions...in productivity losses. The FDA should consider policies that adequately embrace this new reality&allay the legitimate concerns of the American people."

How RFK Jr.’s misguided science on mRNA vaccines is shaping policy − a vaccine expert examines the false claims Chaos at the CDC and the sharp move away from mRNA vaccines has public health experts alarmed.

There was a slew of false statements made about COVID19 mRNA vaccines yesterday.

I can’t recommend highly enough this article from May by Dr. Deborah Fuller to clear up a lot of the chaff.
