But RFK Jr. gets rich off of being anti-vaccine.

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

1/ It’s Monday, which means a brand-new edition of The Dose. This week we're looking at the messy #vaccine headlines after last week's ACIP meeting, falls among older adults, loneliness among young people, and a top question on Covid shots at pharmacies. Here’s what you need to know 👇

Federal invasion*
Fixed it for you.

Must be getting a good stretch there, CBS, bending those knees so deep to bow to your king. So gross.

1/ Fall 2025 #vaccines are here: flu, RSV, and Covid-19. Keeping track of them isn’t always easy—especially with Covid-19 guidance in flux—but clarity is the antidote to confusion. But you know what? Clarity is the antidote to confusion and that’s what I’m providing today. 👇

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

🧵OMG 😱😱😱⬇️

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Oh look. You can see his man tits real easy in that pic.

🧵Told you so⬇️

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Move to Cut $4.9 Billion in Foreign Aid The judge expressed deep skepticism of the administration’s arguments that it had the power to withhold funds appropriated by Congress.

A federal judge in Washington has blocked President Trump’s latest move to freeze foreign aid that had been approved by Congress, ruling that the administration had violated the Constitutional separation of powers.

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list.

He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

🧵CDC is in Ossoff district. No other Senator knows it better, inside and out, than he does. Listen to him. ASIDE, Rs are spending millions to unseat him. Help him keep the seat by donating to his campaign or signing up to volunteer if you can. You can do it fr home. It’s a very impt seat. ⬇️

Math, how does it work?

CDC cuts back foodborne illness surveillance program

Bad news indeed.

Foodborne disease outbreaks that I investigated during the 1990s used CDC's newly-developed molecular methods developed with FoodNet funding. The tools allowed us to specifically ID foods and to intervene, preventing ongoing exposures and infections.

🧵DOGE didn’t cut government waste, fraud or abuse. Doge was fraudulently abusing its its publicly stated purpose by stealing & illegally data mining for private purposes, including illegal surveillance purposes. Once discovered the whistleblower “resigned” = fired! ⬇️ why isn’t this on front pg?

CHICAGO…

Should be FRONT PAGE top of fold news:

Will the C.D.C. Survive?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s assault may have dealt lasting damage to the CDC, experts fear, with harsh consequences for public health.

Heart disease patients should get vaccinated against respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, cardiology experts say This season’s emerging set of guidelines stand out because they urge the need for vaccine-based protection against respiratory illnesses, including COVID, contradicting statements from Health Secretar...

The American College of Cardiology issued new guidance Tuesday that recommends adults with heart disease get vaccinated against respiratory illnesses, including RSV, COVID-19, pneumococcal infection, shingles and influenza. https://to.pbs.org/4fV4L9H

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

How can we fight faster? We need to fight faster, faster than this…

Trump Says He Is Removing Lisa Cook From Federal Reserve Board

President Trump said he is firing Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, "effective immediately." It's his most direct assault yet on Fed independence -- and a step that it is far from clear he can legally take.
