Landmark court decisions for climate change mean that big emitters can no longer feign ignorance about the impacts of their activities.
Medical professionals have a part to play in this process, say @lauraclarkece.bsky.social and @hughmontgomery.bsky.social

Thimerosal isnβt mercury. But to RFK Jr, facts donβt matter.
RFK Jr. just made vaccine disinformation federal policy. People will die from preventable illnessβand thatβs the point.
So apply this to chemicals you demonize. Challenge your beliefs.
Itβs ok if you were misled.
Disinformation is loud & viral.
Itβs not ok to spread lies when you have facts.
Apply a principle you understand to safe & studied vaccine ingredients too.
