Posted Aug 30, 2025 The damage he did was much faster/deeper than I thought possible; I thought guard rails might prevent his dangerous MAHA kookiness & anti-vaxx BS from affecting long-established systems. But physician dudes like Bhattacharya, Oz, Makary & Prasad helped break down those rails 😢

When RFK Jr says he bears zero responsibility for the declining vaccination rates in the US, he is lying In fact, for decades he has stoked fear about vaccines (stoking fear has made him very rich) Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/w...

RFK Jr, who says "the cure for measles is chicken soup and vitamin A," and who has devoted much of his life to driving down childhood vaccination, is now running & ruining the American health system, with a huge assist from political ideologues like Drs Bhattacharya & Oz A horrific deadly tragedy

I greatly value this thoughtful, evidence-based line-by-line critique by @jeremyfaust.bsky.social of his friend @craigspencer.bsky.social’s MAHA hagiography MAHA is IMHO a hugely destructive anti-vaxx movement whose leaders are dismantling public health insidemedicine.substack.com/p/i-didnt-lo...

I didn’t love Craig Spencer’s ‘embrace MAHA’ column in The Atlantic. Instead of canceling my friend, I called him.
Even the sharpest disagreements can be civil. Here's my line-by-line response to Dr. Craig Spencer's argument for embracing MAHA.

Brilliant thread I hope we've reached a tipping point: the OMB rule, which would end science in the US, & the authoritarian actions of the ADA, seem to have unleashed a massive outpouring of anger against Trump, Bhattacharya, & Vought (the ADA inviting Jay to speak showed how out of touch they are)
