In other words: the memo is just Vinay Prasad saying shit. But now he has an FDA title behind his name 🤦🏻‍♂️🤮
“The memo, obtained by The New York Times and not publicly released, did not provide details such as the ages of the children, whether they had any other health problems or how the agency determined the vaccine-death link. Nor did it disclose the maker of the vaccines involved.”
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

While Makary spreads bullshit about the origin of HIV.

(To be clear, this has been thoroughly investigated and fits neither the timing nor the molecular epidemiology of HIV).

To anyone who thinks it’s an “exaggeration” that the rule of law is in danger…

U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.

We’ve fallen far.

Even more petty than I imagined.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

🧪 This is what whooping cough looks & sounds like.

A baby tragically died of whooping cough today.

Dr. Ralph Abraham is the CDC’s new deputy director.

He:

1. Halted Louisiana's mass vaccination campaign

2. Promoted ivermectin

3. Delayed public warnings about a deadly whooping cough outbreak

The GOP healthcare plan is always 2 weeks away, always "being teased" 🙄😂
After teasing a plan to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies—currently on track to end within weeks—the White House has indefinitely delayed the announcement under pressure from congressional Republicans.
Even Trump wants to extend Obamacare tax credits—but Republicans stopped him
Tick, tock: the GOP is desperately trying to run out the clock on ACA subsidies.

Lawmakers reminding troops to follow the law should not trigger FBI interviews. Full stop.
The FBI has requested interviews with six Democrats regarding their video, which reminds troops to follow the Constitution.

The Trump administration saw the now-infamous video as treasonous, called for them to be hanged, and is weighing court-martialing Sen. Mark Kelly. trib.al/ELXKBpd

This is so disrespectful and harmful. AIDS hasn't gone away, and to save lives, we need to keep talking about and advocating for better policies.

In the running for worst appointee ever, but it is such a crowded race this year.
Breaking News: The CDC quietly appointed Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham, who has been critical of vaccines, as its second in command. During the Covid pandemic, he promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s mass vaccination campaign.

Of course, while scientists are developing new tools to protect people around the world from diseases like malaria, global health funds to deploy these are shrinking dramatically. Countries “will have to choose carefully", how to use the funds they have, says Fredros Okumu, a mosquito biologist.

And in August CDC decided to stop tracking Listeria via FoodNet. www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/08/cdc-...
6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.

31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.

Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives.

Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional.

This says everything about the state of US health care.

If the Defense Department truly had to “threaten” a senator to get its way, that wouldn’t be a scandal it would be a five-alarm constitutional crisis that every newsroom in America would be screaming about. Instead, what do we get?
