Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 2hAt least a few people have ethics; not enough to stop the unethical study. Of course they couldn’t get it approved by a US IRB; that didn’t stop RFK Jr. He’s now exploiting babies of a low-income country who cannot consent to being randomized to not getting a vaccine that prevents major illness. 000
Reposted by Kate Simpson, PhD, RNBK. Titanji @boghuma.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This study was unethical when it was announced last year and it remains unethical today. The birth dose of the hepatitis b vaccine prevents perinatal acquisition of the infection. You cannot randomize a group of newborns to not receive it while giving it to others. www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?u...linkedin.comHepatitis B vaccine study condemned as unethical wins approval from Danish university 519887
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Horrible! This may be the next case study in the training materials for the IRB human subjects protection course content. 110
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Today I met someone who loved trump. “…trump is against killing babies and I’m a bible reader.” I guess she meant abortion? Asked about care of babies, children, immigrants, and she said they were important but she still loved trump. From her accent, not likely born in US; said she was US citizen. 🤷♂️ 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think he’s so dumb he actually believes this stuff. 020
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He should going though, bc he looks like a completely demented fool. Maybe the magas who attend will see that? 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is a really tragic story. Parents can be in a religious group and chose not to get care for themselves, but babies and children do not have that choice and their parents letting them die bc of their beliefs that medical care is evil should not be allowed. Babies and children have rights too. 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026One of the dumbest people in the senate and there are a lot of candidates for that. 060
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Good point. That’s a real shame. Likely the policy of someone who has never been in the situation of needing it. 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There’s really no excuse for not offering an option for pain relief for IUD insertion and other painful gyn procedures commonly done in the office. 100
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Shockingly stupid and in part responsible for this mess. They are counting on people like this to stay in power. With any brain at all, you would realize what a mistake voting for trump was, unless you are a racist, woman-hating, LGBTQ-hating, jerk like him. FYI, she’s not going to see Jesus. 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Noticed the same in Walgreens yesterday 120
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026One of the better ones….everyone needs a good laugh these days. 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Looks good. Lake Michigan is one of my favorite places! So beautiful. Went to college on the lake and vacation at the lake every year. 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A decent environment to conceptualize and conduct research is critical. Sadly, many academic settings are toxic for students and early career scholars. I hope it works out for you to be able to create that bc it’s much needed. 030
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yes, I agree Knowles does not seem to be practicing the Pope’s Catholicism as evidenced by his comment and should not have been their breakfast speaker. I blame the one-issue (so called pro-life) voters, many of whom are Catholic, for contributing to election of trump and our current disaster. 152
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The Church is against the death penalty. Pope Leo just reiterated that pro-life means anti-capital punishment. Also care of children once born, welcoming immigrants and those in need etc. poor choice for their speaker, not well vetted. 2122
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Both sides. Makes perfect sense. Why short one side? Not wasteful. 160
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Preventable maternal death is so tragic. We must do better. 011
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Solid reporting on our terrible senator. 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As a Missourian, I vote for NO Schmitt. Would love to be rid of him. 091
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yes, WTF for sure. A lot of folks need to wake up, realize how serious this all is, and vote accordingly. 020
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026More proclamations from RKK Jr. As usual ill-informed and half truths and still focused on what he feels were wrong decisions during the height of COVID hospitalizations and deaths It’s going to take yrs to fix all of the harms his stupidity has caused www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-i...beckershospitalreview.comRFK Jr: AI offers a ‘better informed’ second opinion than doctorsRFK offers better informed AI second opinion, stating it surpasses doctors in guiding patient care and challenging public health advice. 011
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wow, Schmitt knew the texts were unvetted and used the anyway. Makes him look even more like a fool. www.ms.now/news/eric-sc...ms.nowEric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted. 151
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As he should. He embarrassed himself. It seems obvious they should have checked their “facts” a bit closer. Make a fool of himself for sure. 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why are people who are not clinicians or scientists blocking the findings of this task force? It seems as if trump, by appointing RFK Jr, has set out to permanently damage US public health and trust. It will take many years to fix all of these blunders. www.medpagetoday.com/washington-w...medpagetoday.comTrump Administration Suppressed USPSTF Recommendations, Past Chair SaysGroup's recommendations on cervical cancer screening, cardiovascular prevention were blocked 021
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Probably didn’t want to sue privately schools 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026She would have been way better than him, way better. 110
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026FYI he was NOT a good attorney general in his state. Consistently made a fool of himself as a dumb trumper. 250
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Wow, channel 5 NBC political reporter in StL, nice job. 31569
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Probably did both and deserved the adverse effects. 000
Reposted by Kate Simpson, PhD, RNmelissainkc.bsky.social @melissainkc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026As a Missourian, watching Schmitt get owned, is manna. During his tenure as Mo AG he sued schools for covid precautions. That was his only claim to fame. He’s nothing more than an opportunistic douche and deserves all the ridicule we can heap upon him. 13412
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Pretty sad…and so embarrassing for him 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Embarrassing that people from our state elected this idiot. Made a complete fool of himself on national TV. 000
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Deserves it bc he is indeed an idiot. 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026What an incompetent twit! Looked like the fool he is. 010
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Embarrassing that guy is from Missouri. A total loser. No doubt his staffers put this together and he thought he was going to have a big “gotcha” moment. Instead, he showed himself to be the fool he is. 061
Kate Simpson, PhD, RN @katersimpson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Sadly, having one of those things you mentioned happen to you is part of being a woman these days. 050
