The CDC just added an asterisk to “Vaccines do not cause autism.” And the explanation behind that asterisk? Pure, gold-plated bullshit Here’s what’s going on — and why it’s dangerous Full evidence repository: scienceaccountability.org/th… #Misinformation #ScienceMatters #VaccinesWork

I was on the Covid "front line" too and I can confirm that what this nurse is saying isn't absolutely, 100%, completely and utterly NOT TRUE

Just happened at #ADA2026 - personal statement from the one and only Dr John Buse. Definitely worth the watch.

"Turbo cancers" is the language of antivaxxers. There is no evidence of "turbo cancers" following the pandemic at this point.

Does he really understand nothing?

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…” Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share. This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating: “Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive. A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages. You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re simply too poor to afford bail. Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years. Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you. And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster. And you call Greenland badly governed? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’ When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years. And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess. You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy. So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan. The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth. And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

I don’t think we have a functioning CDC anymore—RFK Jr’s CDC is now asking volunteers to goto airports to screen passengers for Ebola… to stand in line at airports to look for sick people… unpaid.

Get a dictionary.

Hello Rand Paul @SenRandPaul I worked on SARS-CoV-19 It came from a horseshoe bat

Marty Makary was the worst FDA commissioner in 25 years. Full stop. I have covered the FDA for that long, and I don’t say this lightly. He was, largely, an agent of chaos because he didn't understand the agency he was trying to lead. My story explaining is in the next post.

Watching the political theater from @RandPaul on covid origins today. Falsehoods in 1st few sentences. EcoHealth did NOT receive 'hundreds of millions of dollars in govt funding' & I was NOT 'complicit' in any Gain of function expts - they were reviewed & classed as NOT GoF by NIH. He clearly knows this is false, given the amount of information he's got, l so I guess you could say he's lying to you all for political effect..

"The bottom line is clear: The vaccines approved for use in the U.S. for HPV prevention have a strong safety profile and are highly effective at preventing cancer." Dr. Angela Ulrich, Research Director at CIDRAP, led VIP’s HPV vaccine evidence review: ow.ly/qTtE50YV1sU

Dead children are so inconvenient for anti-vaxxers. As an actual expert in determining cause of death - not a disgraced physician whose credentials were revoked - these poor children did indeed die of measles. Glad I could clear that up.

@SecKennedy wants you to get easier access to tanning beds. Here's why thats a bad idea, from the skin professionals - dermatologists. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and you want as much mileage out of it as possible.

Yes, this was not a US ship, but it easily could have been. The point is that infectious disease outbreaks on cruise ships have always been a significant issue.

Hantavirus research shut down too

A Friday footnote: The New England Journal of Medicine has published the Moderna influenza vaccine data -- the same that led the FDA's CBER division to refuse to review the vaccine under Vinay Prasad. (That decision, called a refuse-to-file or RTF, was later reversed.) The data had been presented to investors but this was peer-reviewed and there are some wrinkles worth looking at. First, the efficacy slide.

mRNA Covid vaccines saved millions of lives I can think of worse "crimes" than that

This is what actual government censorship looks like.

RFKJr demanded 1 example of a time he's ever said misinformation. @jessicamalaty, @KnurickJessica, & I found 21, and we didn't even finish. rasmussenretorts.substack.co…
