The Death of Independent Expertise USPSTF is about to go the way of ACIP, because preventive medicine is too woke

RFK Jr is shitcanning independent advisory panels of experts. As usual, the consequences of these actions will be severe. We are talking potentially huge increases in illness and death from preventable diseases.

Missouri Supreme Court defies voters, halts abortions in the state Despite passage of a constitutional amendment last fall, the ping-pong battle over "reproductive freedom" continues.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation.

Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

I published a paper on this topic.

The people who didn’t want a COVID19 booster were woefully misinformed about them.

They were misinformed because of people like Makary, RFK Jr., Bhattacharya and Prasad.

The guy spent the weekend swimming in sewage maybe he’s not the best person to lead an agency focused on health

RFK Jr. is coming for abortion pills He's relying on shoddy science to make his case.

This is horrendous. And also purposeful.

RFK Jr. wasn't put in charge of HHS to Make America Healthy Again. He was put in it to control our bodies, spread misinformation, and make our health system even worse than it is.

The cruelty is the point.

How RFK Jr. Is Already Undermining Vaccines Under Trump From sowing doubt about childhood vaccines to appointing fringe researchers to lead bogus studies, Kennedy is advancing the anti-vaccine agenda he swore he didn't have.

RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

🚨Here’s a list of just a few of the major pieces of misinformation Kennedy shared about autism🚨

Every hour that Kennedy remains Secretary puts lives at risk. We stand with our patients, and Congress must as well.

No more in-person town halls, NRCC chief tells House Republicans Rep. Richard Hudson issued the edict after a spate of testy episodes.
