Can I say for sure why this company is declining to recall raw cheddar linked to an outbreak of illness that can shut down your kidneys and kill you? No. But a HHS secretary extolling the benefits of raw dairy has to be part of it 😳

Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.

How to “determine the cause of autism by September”: Step 1: decide you already know the cause. Step 2: skip all the typical study design, ethics review, and data collection steps. Step 3: cherry-pick, p-hack, and fudge your way to data that declare “success”.

“RFK Jr says HHS will determine the cause of autism by September”

Headline is accompanied by a picture of Trump with some members of his cabinet, including RFK Jr and Marco Rubio. (IDK who the third guy there is, sorry not sorry🤷🏼‍♀️)

Dark blue background with white text that reads: 
“Today’s reckless cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of HIV Prevention – and to the Department of Health and Human Services at large – are devastating to our decades of progress in the fight to end the HIV epidemic. We stand behind the organizations across the country on the frontlines that support everyone living with and impacted by HIV with vital services for testing, prevention, and treatment. Without the foundation of a robust federal response, countless lives will be lost.”
