There’s plenty to be worried about but the 💯 partisan vote on @DrJBhattacharya for NIH ranks high on the list. If you want to heal science, how can 47 thinking humans vote against a proven academic and a Stanford professor? Science should be apolitical. Come on, you all.

The spread of the highly contagious disease persists at levels not seen in the U.S. since the early 1990s. on.wsj.com/4gdxAAk

🇺🇸❗️ En six mois, le nombre de cas de #rougeole aux États-Unis atteint déjà quasiment celui sur toute l'année dernière (qui était un record depuis plus de 30 ans). Près de 𝟮 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗮𝘀, dont l'immense majorité non vaccinés (ou statut vaccinal inconnu). 1/2

Today we filed a motion asking the First Circuit to expedite our appeal of the district court's order in the AAP lawsuit that left ACIP—the nation's vaccine advisory committee—without a quorum. AAP opposes our motion. I've been consistent from day one: I do not want to take vaccines away from anyone. Our policy changes preserved access and coverage. But the court's order has left ACIP unable to carry out its core responsibilities. As a result, the committee cannot issue new recommendations, review newly approved vaccines, or complete important work ahead of the fall flu season. A functioning ACIP is essential to ensuring that vaccine recommendations remain grounded in evidence and available to the families and providers who rely on them. Families, physicians, insurers, and public health programs deserve certainty—not paralysis. That's why we're asking for expedited review. Our appeal seeks to restore a functioning ACIP so the vaccine recommendation process can continue, and families, physicians, and public health programs have the guidance they need.

My work has never been to remove vaccines from the planet. My work is the right to choose. If we are free citizens, if I control my own body, then I must be able to control what gets injected into it. And if those are my children, then I should be able to decide whether they get vaccinated. If the government can override that decision, then my children are property of the state. That is not a free country. And another thing - we worry about gain-of-function research, about scientists making a pathogen more contagious so it can spread to more people. That's the fear. But what's the functional difference between a disease that spreads on its own to a million people and a government program that injects all seven billion of us with it? The contagion question becomes irrelevant the moment you have a mandate and a needle. That is what makes mRNA technology so consequential in the wrong hands. It doesn't introduce a foreign protein. It turns your body into a factory that produces it. And if the wrong person is sitting at the top of HHS when the next declared emergency arrives, the infrastructure to do exactly that is already in place. @LibertiMedia @MarcelloFoa
