RFK Jr’s vaccine panel appointees to set agenda despite lack of experience
Some have little to no documented experience with vaccines while others have undermined their safety
I wrote about Milhoan a bit here. He has advocated against Covid vaccines and promoted ivermectin as a Covid treatment. The Hawaii medical board filed complaints and challenged his medical license, though his license was ultimately upheld. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Exclusive: CDC to end all monkey research
Studies related to HIV and other infectious diseases will be phased out, sources say; fate of the agency's animals remains unclear
EXCLUSIVE: CDC to end all monkey studies. Decision handed down by recent college grad and former DOGE employee who is now deputy chief of staff at the agency. Animals were being used in studies of HIV prevention. Some may be euthanized. My latest for @science.org

This would be my pandemic preparedness plan if my explicit goal were to ensure as many people as possible died when we had the next pandemic.

As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative
Premiums for millions of Americans in red and blue states are expected to more than double on average next year unless Congress finds a solution.
NEW: As health insurance bills rise, Republicans are still seeking an Obamacare alternative
There is no legislative product yet.
No consensus in the party about a plan.
But top GOP lawmakers and policy figures on Capitol Hill have begun discussing concepts.

Losing #measles elimination status as predicted is the result of vaccines being a victim of their incredible success. It quite sad that people will need to experience the suffering inflicted by an infection like measles in order to remember why elimination was remains something to strive for.

Pediatricians fill vaccine messaging void left by CDC amid bad flu season
Doctors step up after US health department suspended its flu vaccine campaign following Trump’s election
Severe outbreaks in Australia and Japan, the latter of which has declared a flu epidemic, have experts concerned.
“It’s not a direct lesson for what we can expect, but it’s a clue,” @cmyeaton.bsky.social said. “And that does give me pause that maybe we’ll be in for something a little bit bigger.”

Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers
Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.
Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.
In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

My one wish is that the 'pass the torch' folks will be satisfied with the retirements that are coming this Congress but I know they won't be.
Regardless, Nancy was an early pioneer of LGBTQ rights, was one HELL of a Speaker of the House, and deserves a ton of praise.

When you consider there were elections in 39 states yesterday, this is legit insane.
Directional shift to Dems in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections.
Let that sink in for a moment.

Alright all jokes aside, want to leave tonight with some hope.
I hope today was a good reminder to many, on here & everywhere in this country, that good things CAN and DO still happen in this country!
It's going to be a slog the next few years but we'll get through it. Get some rest tonight ❤️
