Sure. When someone is post-screaming “HAS THERE EVER BEEN A STUDY THAT SHOWS THE HPV VACCINE PREVENTS CANCER, YES OR NO!!!!”, it’s really easy to explain the carcinogenesis pathway and surrogate endpoints.

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israeli Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

Twitter is a propaganda operation.

That is its sole purpose.

Measles outbreaks are costing the U.S. millions of dollars. The true losses can't be counted. As vaccination rates decline, the economic consequences will increase, research suggests.

The first concern with measles is, of course, the devastating health impact.

But this article does a great job of explaining the economic costs.

Photo of a desert landscape. There are prickly pear cactus in the foreground and a lot of dirt and more cacti. In the top left you can see a crescent moon though in fairness it looks like a blob. Then you looking further out over the horizon you see a blue sky with yellow orange and red colors that are in the shape of a the top of a circle.

Because their propaganda worked and people believed a con man en masse.

Now they’d rather see the U.S. burned to the ground than admit they fell for it.

Yes. I included the link too. It’ll be a minute before the right wing spinners distribute the talking points. The stooges will nod along.

Stop, you obviously have some kind of “motive” according to Petey.

Shut yer mouth and wave yer flag already.

Take it from those who actually know: President Trump: "Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!"

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Based on everything we have seen - and I've seen it all - our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission." Secretary Hegseth: "Given the 30,000 pounds of explosions and the capability of those munitions, it was DEVASTATION underneath Fordow ... Any assessment that tells you otherwise is speculating with other motives."

Secretary Rubio: "Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape ... There's no way Iran comes to the table if somehow nothing had happened. This was complete and total obliteration. They are in bad shape. They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what President Trump did."

Nine months ago, Trump, Hegseth, Rubio and others were crowing about “obliterating” Iranian nuclear sites.

They also said that anyone claiming something different was spreading “fake news”.

I feel this. You’ve nailed it.

I’m so sorry to hear this.

And you’d be counting fat stacks!

El Paso reports 17 measles cases, most of them at ICE detention facility Four measles cases were reported in the city of El Paso, while the other 13 cases were reported at ICE's Camp East Montana detention facility.

El Paso has measles.

There is a total of 17 cases, 13 of which are in a migrant detention camp that consists of tents on the grounds of Fort Bliss.

Yeah I tangled with Abe a few times on Twitter. He’s a jackass.

Esp if the pins are tiny syringes

Kickstarter. Now.

I see a business opportunity in accessories!

He’s wearing jeans and drinking whole milk later on in the video, silly!

I’m sure as hell not looking into that. We’ll need a volunteer.

This made me lol thanks for that.

Then they would have called in my brother’s GI Joes to teach him about appropriate workout attire.

Screenshot from RFK Jr’s Twitter account that shows a video featuring a “Kennedy action figure”. He’s wearing a blue suit and the skinny tie he wears to make people think he’s like the Kennedys who came before him.

My Barbies would have instantly formed up and yeeted this shitbird out of their cardboard box house.

(Yes, this is a still from a video the Secretary of Health and Human Services has pinned on his Twitter account, featuring himself as an action figure).

Important for everyone to realize: the anti-vaxx activist RFK Jr did indeed TRADEMARK “MAHA”

Before he became HHS Secretary, he declared $100k earned from “a licensing agreement to use Maha brand marks”

He wanted to put it on supplements, vitamins, essential oils to make $$$

He’s a grifter

I think NSF got some funds. That said, yes, NSF is often overlooked and is a critical institution.
