SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits
The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

Extremely dangerous policy. My son just went through Navy bootcamp and so many recruits got sick (and many very sick). You put hundreds/thousands of people together in small quarters and you get a lot of contagious illnesses being spread. This is not how you keep the military ready for service.

This 🧵 is critically important. Please read through to understand the scientific and economic impacts of cuts to NIH and NSF.

The impact is already hitting science agencies hard. The NIH—the world's largest public biomedical research funder—has had to rely on leftover stopgap funds. New grant awards have slowed to a trickle — exacerbating the effects of a record-long shutdown in October. (h/t @jeremymberg.bsky.social)

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers. The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

“Trump announced that he’ll unilaterally take back money already appropriated for foreign aid. This new so-called pocket rescission totals $4.9 billion.” So. This is the big one. If Vought floats this for foreign aid and it flies, science agencies are next.
