RFK Jr. spouted dangerous vaccine falsehoods on national TV. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Here's what the data actually shows. 🧵

In fitting fashion for the state of things in 2025, this year's pride happened under a massive deluge. But all these beautiful people kept marching and singing. It was beautiful, and I'm glad I was there to document.

The thing about Curtis Yarvin is that his ideas are shallow plagiarisms of monarchists and fascists and the only reason he has any influence is because the tech oligarchs are desperate for an ideology that gifts them legitimacy and they’re actually dumb as shit.
