Do Unvaccinated Kids Make You Horny? Don't settle for being the scourge of CBER and the COVID ward at the children's hospital when you can also be the scourge of Hinge

To Deny The Role of Social Media In Propagating Misinformation is a Form of Germ Theory Denial, Not For Pathogens, But For Ideas MAHA disinformation agents clearly understand the power of social media, and anyone who genuinely wishes to oppose them moving forward needs to as well.

Essay worth reading by @joho.bsky.social

How RFK Jr., America's celebrity health secretary, is steamrolling science RFK Jr. is plowing ahead with sweeping changes to U.S. health care that have thrilled supporters, purged opponents, and horrified critics.

"Decision-based evidence-making" — that's how one former #CDC leader described the approach to scientific decision making under the HHS secretary in a meaty examination of Kennedy's unprecedented tenure by several @statnews.com colleagues. www.statnews.com/2025/11/18/r...

RFK Jr & his loyal henchmen (the Great Barrington Declaration dudes Jay Bhattacharya & Martin Kulldorff; Martin Makary; Dr Oz; Vinay Prasad) have been successfully dismantling the US vaccination system & achieved the return of deadly vaccine preventable diseases. This is the world they worked for...

Some lofty critics claim it is not worthwhile to discuss juvenile behavior online by MAHA doctors and their volunteer defense attorneys.

Here’s why they are very wrong- featuring the must read work of @noupside.bsky.social

Also, he hangs out with pro cigarette advocates.

Remember, Prasad began his campaign against the pediatric COVID vaccine months before there was a pediatric COVID vaccine.

Here he is spreading fake numbers about the death rate and treating vaccine side effects worse than death.

Shot in the Arm Explore vaccine hesitancy historically and in the context of COVID-19.

I strongly recommend fine documentary “A Shot in the Arm” on vaccine hesitancy & its (often well-paid) promoters, incl RFK, Jr.
www.pbs.org/video/shot-i...
Watch whole thing, but especially:
34:32-onward RFK, Jr
43:45-50:27 Samoa deaths: he denies/evades involvement, video records contradict.

How two top FDA officials are quietly upending vaccine regulations Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Høeg mix skepticism with new ways to define risk in pursuing sweeping changes to vaccine policy at the FDA.

RFK Jr. has said he does not want to take vaccines away from Americans. But at a closed-door meeting of vaccine scientists in September, a top official at the FDA suggested doing just that. Here's how Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Høeg are reshaping vaccine regulation:
www.statnews.com/2025/11/12/f...

Oh, so it's a global far right power grab

In October, Prasad decided to withdraw the paper, which examined health outcomes among patients with private health insurance who received Covid vaccines from 2023 to 2024. The paper
concluded that there were no new safety concerns following Covid-19 vaccination for people aged 6 months to 64.

Prasad and Hoeg are censoring studies showing the covid vaccine is safe.

If you work at the FDA, CBER or CDER, we want to hear from you!

DMs open.

We placed podcasters in charge who got famous not because they accomplished anything, but because they “called for” and “argued for” others to do things.

The ‘Intellectual Dark Web’ and the long history of right-wing rebranding For nearly a century, Republicans have been pretending to be the ‘real liberals’

Thank you everyone for your support! It's been so incredible to see your generosity!

If you're new to my content, here's a representative essay about how right-wingers base their political marketing strategy on pretending to be liberals. It's critical to their support from many people.

These men claimed the ability to bend COVID to their will.

Now that we’ve had some time to assess their competency leading the NIH and ACIP, we should all now recognize these were delusions of grandeur.

It was a bad idea to elevate people based on imagined feats of glory.

A note:

Peter Attia is *not* a physician.
He is not a scientist.
He graduated medical school.
He didn’t complete residency.
He is not board certified.
After dropping out of residency, he worked for McKinsey.
He then founded a private “longevity clinic” to hawk pseudoscience and grift.

How much do you want to bet the motives are going to be aligned with the relentless violent anti-science, anti-public health rhetoric that pours from this administration at every opportunity?

I’ve never see a NEJM article start by saying “since our medical establishment are dishonest and untrustworthy…”

No one wants this. The conservative suburbanites don't want it, the farmers don't want it, the construction guys don't want it. The people who aren't hardcore nazis voted for this because they thought mass deportations meant millions of totally hallucinated dick tracy villains getting rounded up
