RFK Jr. claimed that there have been no successes coming from HHS in the past 40 years. I beg to differ. He and his HHS lackeys, Makary, Bhattacharya, and Prasad, who spread misinformation, will be personally responsible for the resurgence of vaccine preventable disease in the U.S.

I think the RFK Jr-Jay Bhattacharya anti-vaccine partnership is extraordinarily dangerous; together, running HHS & NIH, hand in hand, they’re doing enormous damage to public health & health research. Seeing Jay Bhattacharya *praise* what RFK Jr has done to the CDC is deeply, deeply disturbing.
Post by Aaron Ruper:
Jay Bhattacharya claims that RFK Jr is “devoted to the scientific method” 🙃Jay Bhattacharya speaking at an RFK Jr for President rally Jay Bhattacharya and Kevin Bardosh editorial:
“RFK Jr will disrupt the medical establishment”Tweet by Jay Bhattacharya: “At least 2 of the authors of this piece [a piece in the NYT by former CDC directors] were in charge of the CDC when it embraced politicized school closures and COVID vaccine mandates. For them to criticize Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr for his efforts to restore gold standard science to the CDC harms public health.”

Trump’s EPA just eliminated its entire research arm—the “heart and brain” of the agency—and is laying off 3,700 workers. That’s 1,155 scientists, chemists, and biologists gone. Less science. More pollution. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. #ProtectOurPlanet

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

This is a very good thread. There are a lot of opinions about how conferences should work written by people who have no practical experience organizing a large scientific conference. The AV/contract issue is such a big thing. I can’t plug in a damn extension cord without being charged at some!

If you are a real social scientist, it is very hard to maintain the claim that all evidence of systemic racism is not real science. Much of it is published in top-ranked peer-reviewed journals in Bhattacharya's field of economics. He can either do MAGA, or science, but not both.
