One of the most depressing things you’ll read today—on how RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya dismantled the CDC & pushed the agency to spend time investigating kooky anti-vaxx anti-science theories It’s tragic: they took the world’s premier public health agency & zombified it; the impacts have been awful

“At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care.” H/t @ameshaa.bsky.social
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

@natureportfolio.nature.com is all-in on the fabulism of AI scammers. We tried this tool. It’s slow, clunky, very limited even as basic tech, and given the purpose of scientific papers, irrelevant. Why is @nature.com promoting it? Why did they publish it? Hint: It’s about money. Shame on them.
