JFK Jr's firing of ACIP will result in ALL children having higher risk for debilitating but preventable infectious diseases. Even if some parents can pay for immunizations not covered by insurance, most won't be able to in Trump's recession economy. We'll lose our already tenuous herd immunity.

To all you swing voters out there who ended up voting for Trump because you were worried about your 401K: How's that going?

"We're going to lower prices by raising prices." 🤔 A real head-scratcher.

Thanks to the cameras they put there, Tiny Hands and Short Sleeves looked like meat headed bullies with the vocabulary of 4th graders, giving war-weary President Zelensky the opportunity to appeal, again, to the American voter. It's clear who won this one. It wasn't Donnie. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

FELLOW FEDERAL WORKERS! Why don't we respond to Elon's email right here? I'll start: Elon:"What did you do last week?" Me: Less ketamine than you did, apparently. Go ahead and provide your responses below. All in one place, ultra-efficient!

In honor of Not-My-President-Day, running extra analyses looking at race and gender disparities for public health outcomes in CDC-funded datasets...🤓 😜#breakinthelaw

Your federal tax dollar at work. Talk about fraud, abuse and corruption! Me, working on the COVID ward at the VA, January 2021. This week: like all federal employees, we have received multiple confusing emails about the "Delayed Resignation Program". 🤦‍♀️

This is what I found today when navigated to where CDC health surveillance datasets are *supposed* to be. Apparently surveillance of drug deaths, youth health, and other topics does not "Comply with President Trump's Executive Orders".

The only hope for a path back to sanity is to let the system crash - quickly, completely. Since states with backward reproductive laws don't appear to care about dead women, maybe they would care if every ob gyne either left or was in jail ...then even healthy pregnancies would be unattended...

...and it begins. Trump voters, which includes most military veterans, are about to get what they voted for.

In honor of Trump's pick for HHS secretary, here is just one of the studies showing that vaccines DO NOT cause autism. In >2 mil. Danish children, >100k of which were unvaccinated, there was NO ASSOCIATION between MMR and autism spectrum disorders. (If the CI crosses 1.00, there's no relationship).

Someone told me recently that "COVID didn't even increase the death rate." Using CDC WONDER data, I created the graph below. As you can see, the any-cause death rate increased by about 20% by 2021, with the excess mortality attributable to COVID.
