Perhaps an early (bad) sign of what is to come:
Vinay Prasad, who helped lead a campaign against lifesaving mRNA vaccines at FDA, is being welcomed back to the University of California San Francisco, where he was prior to joining the Trump administration.
Make no mistake. If left unchecked, Donald J Trump will destroy the world.
Time to do something about it America. This is on you.
So why are we at the precipice of World War III? What is our reason for committing so many troops at such great cost and risk? What is America’s interest?
Trump isn’t saying, except to talk in vague generalities. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/world-war-iii
What's the value of being alive when everyone else is dead or severely injured? Who wants to inhabit hell?
Up is down. Black is white
After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.
And this is where he gets to see the impact of the destruction of trust in public health and vaccines, for which he is partially responsible.
Approximately 30% of all new cancers caused by HPV 16 and HPV 18 in Europe are estimated to occur in men (BMC cancer).
Did you know today is International HPV Awareness Day? HPV infections are very common, but vaccination and early prevention can protect against HPV-related cancers and other serious diseases.

The Vatican's top diplomat warned on Wednesday that the ongoing U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran undermine international law and said nations do not have a right to launch "preventive wars", in an unusually direct criticism of the military campaign. For @reuters.com:
The President who demanded a Nobel Peace Prize for himself sure gave up negotiations quickly to start a war with Iran.
What a disaster, Americans don't want another war in the middle east.
No new wars.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Robert F Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure: “The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair”. The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Russ Vought is refusing to release the scientific research funding allocated to the NIH by Congress.
“We want them in trauma”.
Mission accomplished.
Cover of The Lancet, 28 February 2026 issue. The quote: “The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm.”
On the cover of The Lancet:
Editorial — “Robert F Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure”
Read the latest issue: spkl.io/63327Aa31W
Though I may visit the Americas soon, I won't step foot in the current US on principle. I regret this, as it's a great nation of science. Thus, I fearlessly share The Lancet's brave stance; US state bureaucracy can't intimidate me. Heartfelt solidarity to US scientific community: you aren't alone
Esta es la portada de @thelancet.com hoy, con una sola frase, muy preocupante y aún más indignante:
“La destrucción que Kennedy ha producido en un año podría tardar generaciones en repararse, y hay pocas esperanzas para la salud y la ciencia de Estados Unidos mientras él permanezca al mando".
Ready… set… GO! 🚀
The 4th #VICT3R Consortium Meeting & General Assembly is here👏
Great to see our community coming together in Barcelona and online for two days of science, collaboration, and forward-looking discussions.

📢 EMA recommends: 12 new medicines for approval, including the 1st combined mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 and flu, and an extension of indication to the 1st treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria in children.

More than a dozen states sued the Trump administration over its rollback of vaccine recommendations for children, calling the move an illegal threat to public health.
Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow.
Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”.
She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.
Standing alongside President Zelenskyy in Kyiv, I participated in a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
We reaffirmed our unwavering support for Ukraine and its people.
In the face of Russian aggression, Ukraine continues to prevail while remaining engaged in peace negotiations in good faith.
Después de 4 años de guerra a gran escala en Ucrania📍, sus consecuencias siguen marcando la vida diaria de la población.

The EU stands firm with Ukraine. For a just and lasting peace. For a strong and sovereign Ukraine in a strong and sovereign Europe.
