I agree. Did a quick Claude inquiry before I posted that and it didn't come up with huge amounts of dirt. Maybe it's that he doesn't grandstand and just shows relatively quiet competence, something we no longer seem to value.

Same. He has been a favorite political figure of mine for a while.

He is an impressively spineless individual. I understand that different people have different value systems, but I really don't understand how these types of people live with themselves.

Cover of My Infectious Diseases Life On Monday, I fully embraced my personality as elder millennial ID doctor On Tuesday, I completed the nutritionally variant streptococci endocarditis trifecta 

On Wednesday, I used shock therapy for education: hand culture plates On Thursday, pharmacist’s saved the day… again!

On Friday, I felt like a cantankerous old ID doctor

“…just 2% of all college students—including 3% of Republicans—say they feel they don’t belong on campus due to their political views…71% said their professors create a classroom environment that supports both students who express unpopular opinions and those who may be upset by such views.”

Anyone who has had a job where they have to deal with the public and then goes into a role where they act on behalf of the public has my respect.

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

Moderna has 2 trials for EBV vaccines in Phase 1/2 and Phase 2. EBV is now widely believed to be a causative agent for Multiple Sclerosis. Just under 3 million people in the world, about 1 million in the US have MS.

I don't understand how else you pull them along the pharmacotherapeutic journey of treating infectious diseases if you don't walk and gesture as if you are physically pulling them.

As an ID physician who was on the frontlines of #COVID from the beginning and saw countless people die of this disease I find this take from Bhattacharya to be insulting.

It disrespects every healthworker who risked their life and the patients who died.

RFK is working hard to make autism a compensatable disease under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program... This advisory panel will prolly recommend NIH fund a "vaccines cause autism study". Then RFK, as Sec of HHS, will add autism to the list.

I've always thought that the HPV vaccine is one of the biggest no-brainers. A vaccine to prevent cancer? I wish we had one for prostate cancer - I'd sign up for the trial.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

As of today, the United States has officially left the World Health Organization. We’ll look back on this as a grave error. Health threats do not respect borders, and weakening global cooperation makes Americans less safe.
