The current ACIP is not a credible committee. It pains me to say this, but do NOT listen to them for guidance on vaccines. I am an infectious disease doc and will be roundly ignoring their misinformed and anti-scientific guidelines.
Yesterday's spectacle was an insult to vaccinology and science.

It is absolutely wild that the person in charge of health in America has be roundly condemned and labeled as dangerous by:
- Former CDC directors
- Former Surgeons General
- Multiple medical professional societies
- Health professionals across multiple platforms
And still holds his position.

RFK Jr. will testify before Senate panel next week The Finance Committee hearing was in the works before Wednesday’s CDC shakeup.

Good. I have questions and the American people deserve answers.

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

Massive walkout underway at CDC.

RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.

Congratulations to Dr. Kelly Dyer & Dr. Jess O’Neil, recipients of the 2025 Infectious Diseases Division Robert Austrian Outstanding Infectious Diseases Research Fellow Award!

This is what happens when public health and science is villainized. It places a target on the backs of people just trying to help.

ID showing up to support science and medicine. We are proud to be a division of scientists and clinicians whose science leads the way in advancing medical care.

Very excited to see my masters thesis published @penn-mshp.bsky.social Thanks to the incredible team and group of mentors who helped me get this important work out there who unfortunately don’t have BlueSky - Jessie Torgersen, Nancy Aitcheson, Maggie Lowenstein @pennidfellows.bsky.social

RFK Jr’s health department to halt $500m in mRNA vaccine research Agency to end 22 federal contracts, questioning safety of technology credited with helping end Covid pandemic

He must love infections and cancer.
A short list of what’s been achieved or is in active development with this tech:
– Seasonal flu (Phase 3)
– RSV (FDA-approved, 2024)
– CMV (Phase 3)
– HIV (early trials)
– Rapid-response design for emerging pathogens

Why don’t we have boosted darunavir + Dolutegravir combo pill yet?

I know RFK Jr. has assembled a quack crew to concoct a study showing otherwise but here is an new important large cohort study of over 1.2 million children in Denmark showing no association Aluminum adsorbed vaccines and chronic dz in childhood including autism.

My only 3 friends who were planning to write a k are now no longer planning to. The short sightedness of this administration boggles the mind

I personally know 5 early career and trainee level academic scientists who have changed jobs/ career paths in the last month. They did not see a sustainable future with ongoing cuts and attacks.
The scale of decimation of the pipeline that the scientific workforce in U.S. faces is staggering.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Proud to be part of a group of physicians that put our patients above politics.

My American friends are y'all awake?

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Top US vaccine official resigns over RFK Jr’s ‘misinformation and lies’ Dr Peter Marks was seen as a guardrail against any future politicisation of the FDA’s approval of life-saving vaccines

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪
