I was deeply disturbed by Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jr canceling federal funding for mRNA vaccine research & I thought that the OpEds that they each wrote were utterly pathetic, full of utter nonsense & anti-science BS

The US is going to be left behind (e.g., see www.yahoo.com/news/article...)

"Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk. This is bigger than politics. It’s about putting the health of Americans first."

I have been trying to get this published as an op-ed, but I am going to post it here since I think it is timely in light of the "consent" extortion events.

In a seven-minute video RFK Jr. posted last week, he demonstrated that he is truly antivaccine, weaponizing an old one deceptive antivax trope claiming that vaccines didn’t do that much to improve global health. sciencebasedmedicine.org/robert-f-ken...

In my last R15, I replaced the old "diversity" section with one entitled "How this project will enhance Gold-Standard Research," addressing each point in the EO. Results .... it was not discussed.

Thankfully (for now), Bhatcharrya still barely understands his role. He still calls it the National Institute* of Health, for example, and spends all his time doing podcasts.

The struggle to protect children from conspiracy theorist parents The inquest following the death of Paloma Shemirani raises the question of how to prevent young people from health misinformation

"I think Covid led to a massive rise in misinformation on social media, and before scientists could fact check it, or even knew about it… it was gathering pace. Trust in the medical profession began to drop."

If Kate Shemirani were an American, she would be our Secretary of HHS now. Senators (Drs.) Cassisity and Paul would be her new BFFs.

More than a million Americans died of COVID (even with a vaccine), and the people who said we should all get COVID in 2020 (before the vaccine) are now in charge of HHS. Killing Americans appears to be his primary objective.

Disabled and Covid Cautious people: β€œDon’t ban masks we’re in a pandemic and they’re a critical tool to protect ourselves”

Government: β€œToo bad. Masks are criminalized”.

Bhattacharya graduated medical school but is not a physician.

Being a physician means you passed USMLE and are currently licensed.

Bhattacharya did neither.

Makary is a physician and surgeon and could be delicensed for making false/misleading claims.

It's good to see @richardhorton1.bsky.social calling out the physicians who are doing Trump & RFK Jr's bidding, & who should know better

I agree with Richard: what Drs Makary & Bhattacharya are doing is unforgivable.

Standing next to Trump & RFK Jr smiling during the anti-vaxx BS talking points😑

I stand by this.

Doctors who served as defense attorneys for MAHA this time last year have forfeited the right to be taken seriously when they complain about it now.

NIAID Advisory Council Meeting Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger will address the full council. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya will address the full council.

You have to see these presentations to understand how naive they are (watch him tell NIAID to study "infectious diseases", for example).. There is no way he could address concerns from real scholars like @jeremymberg.bsky.social in a public setting.

One of the things I’m angriest about is that horrific anti-vaxx video that RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya, & Marty Makary made & posted to X, telling pregnant people that COVID vaccination is no longer recommended

It was extraordinarily damaging & it flew in the face of all the evidence

Ugh

Two former top NIH officials say they were forced out in retaliation for objecting to grant terminations Whistleblower complaints by two former top NIH officials offer their inside accounts of the Trump administration’s targeting of vaccine science.

Now Jeanne Marrazzo, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has been fired by #RFKJr in retaliation. This administration is corrupt. Matthew Memoli: remember this man's name, MAGA grifter who scored $500M for his research. www.statnews.com/2025/09/04/n...
