"The choice not to vaccinate is what's driving these infectious disease outbreaks. The resurgence of measles is being fueled by misinformation that has undermined the trust in vaccines, a scientific victory that has saved countless lives." npr.org/2026/01/31/nx-s1-569…

The U.S. will likely lose its measles elimination status. Here's what that means

The South Carolina measles outbreak is now bigger than last year's Texas outbreak and is happening as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status.

On February 1, 2002, Daniel Pearl, an American-Israeli journalist, was brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists for being Jewish while pursuing a story in Pakistan. Daniel Pearl's last words were: "I am Jewish." May his memory forever be a blessing. 🕯️ We remember his legacy as we continue to speak out against extremism in all forms, including antisemitism.

Recent claims by RFK Jr. propose a link between acetaminophen to autism—but the best evidence says otherwise. Large studies & meta-analyses show no causal link once genetics are controlled. Facts > fear. Even AI (OpenEvidence) confirms it. #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ScienceMatters

We’ve all asked it... What if I had taken that other job? Moved abroad? Made a different choice when it really mattered? If you've ever looked over the fence and wondered whether the grass really is greener, this one's for you. davidepsteinmd.blogspot.com/… #whatif #reflection

Many scientists & healthcare professionals are expressing frustration & anger at RFK Jr.’s attempts to twist scientific truths into conspiracy theories & misinformation. Public health is not a playground for ideology. We need true scientific expertise at HHS. #ScienceMatters

Failure does not mean that one ultimately failed.  It simply means that method did not work.
