Not to mention that MAHA also isn’t your typical community health org. It’s a politically charged initiative tied to RFK Jr., with a shaky scientific foundation and commercial interests. Columbia should be more transparent about who they’re using their platform to promote.

@columbiamed.bsky.social posted this on X? CUIMC has many obesity medicine docs, dietitians, etc. who study nutrition. Trustee Shoshana Shendelman isn’t one of them She’s been sued for fraud (hiding FDA concerns). Faculty have a petition to remove her from CU leadership: bit.ly/Remove-Trustee

Screenshot of a X post from @ColumbiaMed: Obesity is a serious public health issue nationwide, affecting nearly 20% of children in the U.S. To effectively address this crisis, @columbiaps' Dr. Shoshana Shendelman stresses the importance of collaboration between the pharmaceutical industry and community organizations like Make America Healthy Again (MAHA)

Still thinking about the official Columbia Medical Center @columbiamed.bsky.social X account posting about the “importance of collaboration” between pharma and Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) as if MAHA is a legit org and not a gov. committee & broader movement, both widely considered unscientific

Battacharya and RFJ Jr. don't have "unconventional ideas." They have deeply dangerous, unproven "theories" based on conspiracies. Any and all media outlets referring to "unconventional ideas" will be fully complicit in the many deaths resulting from dismantling the public health system.
