It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it is refreshing to see the latest technology being used to help us through a difficult time, rather than mining our personal data to annoy us, steal our identities, rip us off, and interfere with our elections.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

Trump didn’t make the Covid vaccine. Scientists did. He used our tax $ to incentivize pharma companies to speed the process. While you can give him credit for Operation Warp Speed, he also did much damage with his denials of reality, misinformation, and encouraging of quack treatments. People died.

Replacing evidence-based scholarship with government-approved narratives isn't patriotism, it's propaganda. History should be written by historians, not politicians trying to reshape the past to fit an ideological agenda.

Admirable clarity @science.org
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story
