More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Official communication from FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy acknowledges there is no causal link between its use in pregnancy and autism. Also states clearly that this is the safest over the counter treatment for fever and pain in pregnancy. It is very different from what was communicated at the press conference.

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy.
- They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism
- Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway
It's very different from the press conference.
Pass it on.

Anti-vaccine allies cheer as Trump claims shots have “too much liquid” Why babies don’t pop like water balloons when they get vaccines—and other info for Trump.

"When the bar is set at suggesting that people inject bleach into their veins, it's hard to reach a new low. But in a deranged press event on autism Monday evening, President Trump seemed to go for it"
The whole article by @bethmariem.bsky.social expertly articulates the absurdity

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

This Trump press conference is a total nightmare

Telling parents to only give measles, mumps, & rubella vaccines separately just because Trump "feels" like this is better is public health malpractice🤯

And OMFG he says "there's a rumor" that in Cuba they don't have autism & they don't use Tylenol😔

HOW TO PEDDLE DISINFORMATION 1. Start with ad hominem attacks on the CDC committee working to restore public trust in vaccines. 2. Ignore the 14 hours of public deliberation where members explained their reasoning and scientific justification. 3. Then stack the deck—quote more than 20 professional critics and just four of the 12 committee members, as if balance and accuracy don’t matter. That’s not reporting. That’s disinformation. Not the first time either.

Reminder: personally attacking a journalist for criticizing the government is not normal agency conduct.

It's a pretty clear attempt to intimidate the journalist, and from those that complained about government censorship, like
Secretary Kennedy did, the hypocrisy is jarring.

Vote on #3: 12 yes, 0 no

Vote on #2 (required a prescription): 6 yes, 6 no
Chair Kulldorff voted no, breaks the tie. Recommendation NOT adopted

Vote on #1: 11 yes, 1 no (Kulldorff)

Dear ACIP,
Informed consent is a state issue.

The Vaccine Information Statement is a federal document that needs to be give to people before vaccinating. CDC can change it - after a long process, and in consultation with the Advisory Commission of Childhood Vaccines.

1/2

Vote on #4 first: 12 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain
ACIP members say shared clinical decision making can be done with pharmacist

The other things they tried to do is try to get state and local government to require a prescription (they can't do it directly) and adding misinformation to the VIS, which requires a separate process.

The recommendations are also very poorly and unprofessionally drafted, in my opinion. 2/2

Vote 1: CDC engage in more consistent, comprehensive informed consent processes

Vote 2: COVID-19 vaccinations should require a prescription

Vote 3: Healthcare providers need to discuss risks and benefits of COVID-19 vaccines.

Vote 4: Update FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine administration to be based on "individual-based decision making" for people 65 and older, and people 6 months to 64, with emphasis on individuals with conditions that put them at higher risk of COVID-19.

Here are the ACIP voting questions for updated COVID-19 vaccines

Retsef Levi thinks that everyone should have to get a prescription for COVID19 vaccines.

Vicki Pebworth, the anti-vaccine representative on ACIP, brings in the studies anti-vaccine activists use to scare people off Hepatitis B vaccine - including trying to misuse IOM, a mice study, and a preterm study they misrepresent.

Retsef Levi is ignoring the fact that both the frequency and severity of myocarditis are greater with COVID19 itself than COVID19 vaccination.

Jason Goldman is absolutely an MVP liaison member.

We now have Dr. Kuperwasser presenting misleading and unsupported claims that COVID19 vaccines may cause cancer.

She is doing so by throwing up vague assertions in the complete absence of any credible evidence of a link between COVID19 vaccines and cancer.

This is a disgrace.

NO TRUST IN ACIP!

Well, the absolutely incomprehensible vote at the end of the ACIP meeting has left everyone confused. MMRV resolution passed, so it’s off the schedule for younger children and CMS won’t cover it.

NEWS: By vaccinating babies at birth, the U.S. nearly eradicated hepatitis-B in children.

Kennedy's vaccine advisory panel is expected this week to recommend delaying the shot, opening a window for kids to be infected.

Walz counters federal vaccine moves with state-level order to maintain broad access Minnesota moves to maintain access to vaccines after federal guidance last week ordered limitations on who has access to the COVID-19 booster shot.

Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements in modern medicine.

Protecting access is vital to the health and safety of Minnesotans.

Wyden just asked that RFK Jr. be sworn in because he has lied to the Senate Finance Committee (he has).

Crapo refuses and claims this is a partisan issue. It it not. Kennedy has lied to the committee.
