When the NYT published a story questioning Sec. Kennedy's engagement - including the time he spends at #HHS - he angrily retorted that anyone curious about how much time he spends in the office could consult his online calendar.

Aaron Siri is a trial attorney who makes his living suing vaccine manufacturers. He is presenting as if an expert on childhood vaccines. The ACIP is totally discredited. They are not protecting children.

Israeli forces planned an attack on a Gaza hospital using drone footage which, a military official said, showed a Hamas camera that was the target. But a Reuters analysis found it was actually a Reuters camera, long used by one of its own journalists reut.rs/3IHrmdC

Abbe Lowell and I represent @CDCgov Director Susan Monarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Susan Monarez is no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people. @SecKennedy has full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad.

Lyn Redwood's presentation is 10 slides shorter than the original presentation posted by CDC; one of the slides that was removed was the disclosure that she did not have a conflict of interest. She introduced herself as a private citizen.

Lyn Redwood's report on thimerosal due to be presented to the ACIP makes reference to a study co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.
But according to Berman, "it's not making reference to a study I published or carried out."

Just had a very brief conversation with Sen. Cassidy. I asked if RFK Jr. had reassured him
“I’d rather just characterize it as: we had a conversation”
I also asked if he was still comfortable with his vote confirming RFK Jr.
“I’d rather not comment on that”

Of course, now the fear is that the ACIP will be filled up with people who know nothing about vaccines except suspicion. I’ve just spoken with Secretary Kennedy, and I’ll continue to talk with him to ensure this is not the case.

The @US_FDA's top inspections official is stepping down, amid frustration with @DrMakaryFDA's plans
"It's fairly basic math. We know how long inspectional activities take. If they get shorter, which inspections activities are we no longer performing?"

I worked closely with @CDCDirector Dr. Monarez during the transition & found her brilliant, data-driven, non-partisan, and passionate to rebuild #cdc into a national treasure. My congratulations to @realDonaldTrump and @SecKennedy for making this nomination. Nothing but net!

Brandon Nimmo has told me he's working on a new batting stance focused on the far right of the batters box. He's calling it, Project 2025.

The inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a disaster for patients and it's ruined the Medicare Part D program. Without any senior leadership confirmed by the Senate, it would make perfect sense to freeze the drug price setting program. Another hot mess left by the Biden admin.
