If you know, you know.

WELL DONE!

😂

lol

Yes

It seems that according to NIH/CDC poseur and RFK Jr. coattail-riderJay Bhattacharya, public health is only done right if it’s done by an economist.

This is a wholly accurate, evidence-based, poetic, and utterly sick burn on NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya.

I tip my hat to Dr. Strong.

Arizona Republicans are now trying to change the state constitution to ban vaccine requirements for school entry.

They want to put it on the November ballot.

Total clowns.

Some days it’s amazing any of us still have a shred of sanity given the gaslighting.

Some people started to see that the damage was now becoming visible, and as it turns out, most Americans support vaccination.

They quashed PAHO’s meeting to assess U.S. measles elimination status until after the election in an attempt to cover up what they’ve done.

But we know what they did.

He disparaged vaccines, insulted people with decades of public health experience, and joined an administration that hamstrung US public health infrastructure.

Yet he seems to think that this rebuilt trust in public health and as such seems to expect people to get vaccinated because HE said so.

Again, Jay Bhattacharya spent six years attacking public health and the experts in the field.

Now he’s the temp head of CDC, hence the continued outbreak is on him and his boss RFK Jr.

So he’s made a tepid statement about the need for people to get vaccinated, as if that will undo the damage.

My thanks to @heritagehunter.bsky.social for the link to this article.

Utah measles outbreak speeds up but there are few changes to daily life Health officials in the outbreak's epicenter are relying on social media and talk radio to reach residents. Many aren't listening.

“Measles in Utah is raging through unvaccinated children in several communities”.

“Since measles began spreading in Utah last summer, state health officials have barely acknowledged it”.

“We’re trying to find ways of tweaking the message”

“Few seem to be listening”.

Good question

😂

Yes it did. It’s a very dangerous disease but fortunately is relatively hard to contract.

"Eye Doctor Named to Air Pollution Advisory Board Draws Pushback" "The Trump administration has tapped an eye doctor with no background in air pollution science to advise the Environmental Protection Agency on what levels of air pollutants are safe to breathe."

Maybe Trumpy took the 1958 hit song “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” by the Platters to be a peer-reviewed scientific study.

Lollll

One. Hundred. Percent.

First confirmed 2026 measles case in Michigan, believed to be contracted in Florida Health department officials confirmed Michigan's first 2026 measles case on Wednesday.

Michigan got measles from Florida.

Now That It’s His Job to Control Measles, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Suddenly Expects People to Trust Everyone & Everything He Spent 6 Years Attacking With Dr. Jay Bhattacharya in power, the headlines now read "Americans Trust Fauci Over RFK Jr. and Career Scientists Over Trump Officials."

Another brilliant piece by @joho.bsky.social, where he points out that after Jay Bhattacharya spent half a decade attacking public health, he’s decided now that actually, maybe we do need it.

I can’t even tell you how much this article captures my thoughts on the situation.

Pleased and grateful to have a chance to speak with Edwin again tomorrow!

Tune in if you can, we’ll be chatting about attacks on public health by the Trump administration.

You are absolutely right.
