“So, just to emphasize things: Gwyneth Paltrow and RFK Jr. have ZERO business speaking on these topics. Both of these individuals have a long history of undermining actual science and medicine and promote harmful wellness trends that make them a lot of money.

Viewpoint: Got milk? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. drinks the raw, unpasteurized version. Does he know something about its benefits that scientists don't?

onestly, I can’t believe I need to repeat this in 2025. Raw milk sales have been soaring since early last year coinciding with support from now HHS

Critical point 👇🏻. Measles will come roaring back in the coming months, with ever-larger outbreaks. Other vaccine-preventable disease will too. We are at the dawn of a massive public health crisis.

World leaders don’t realize what’s coming. Didn’t even mention it at #UNGA. We’re in so much trouble.

Demetre Daskalakis @drdemetre.bsky.social · 14d

The measles website at CDC continues to share updated data. 1514 cases reported in 2025. 3 deaths. CDC scientists working hard but have to manage vaccine attacks from @SecKennedy and his minions. This will be the year that ends US’s measles elimination status. Not one word at #UNGA.

In one of the most irresponsible presidential press conferences in history, Donald Trump declares that Tylenol during pregnancy cause autism. Again, apparently, mothers are to blame.

The very first shot a baby gets is now under review.

Should the Hep B “birth dose” stay the starting point of America’s vaccine schedule, or be delayed to rebuild trust?
