Husband, dad, oncologist, virologist, rower. Iโ€™m evidence-driven. Fallen academic (U of MN, NIH, UC-San Diego) who went into drug development. Not Swedish nor a chef, but Beaker is a valued friend.

Donโ€™t forget the upcoming wave of cavities when fluoride goes a way in some places. Oh, and cancer since lots of kids wonโ€™t be getting their HPV vaccine until itโ€™s too late.

Agree. Very well written.

The next NIH director seems to have missed the fact that hundreds of thousands of Americans died before we had COVID vaccines, and a lot more would have died if we hadnโ€™t limited interpersonal contact for a while. Also, not sure which economies were โ€œdemolished.โ€

No. Thereโ€™s quite a bit of overlap.

Of course. A guy who thinks thimerosal in vaccines causes autism despite conclusive evidence to the contrary. Every position in the federal government that directs public health is going to be run by an antiscience idiot.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

BREAKING:

House Speaker Mike Johnson announces that male Republicans neutered by Donald Trump may continue to use the men's bathrooms.

How RFK Jr. Falsely Denied His Connection to a Deadly Measles Outbreak in Samoa He also championed a Samoan anti-vaxxer tied to the 2019 lethal eruption that killed scores of children.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.โ€™s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. Thatโ€™s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

Weโ€™re About to Find Out How Much Americans Like Vaccines Empowering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will test one of American public healthโ€™s greatest successes.

No one with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s mix of inexperience and paranoid distrust has ever held the reins at Health and Human Services, writes @engber.bsky.social:

Clearly you donโ€™t. The NIH has nothing to do with the FDA drug approval process, and neither do Fauci or Grady. When you comment on an area you know nothing about, it doesnโ€™t make you look very intelligent.

I note that the Trump Hotel has been carefully hidden behind Marina Towers in this photo.

RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat Dems like Jared Polis shouldn't pretend pretend otherwise.

"We shouldnโ€™t be surprised by people like Jared Polis complying in advance. But we should also be very clear: anyone who suggests that RFK Jr. running HHS is anything but a monumental, catastrophic disaster is a liar, a fool, or quite possibly both."

Only after many months of followup. Also, epidemiological studies have subsequently confirmed the initial findings of the studies in many 10,000s of subjects.

Foundation is so different from the Asimov books that it took me a while to adjust. Now I think it may be better in some ways.
