If we are going back, can we at least go back to when we vaccinated our kids, drank pasteurized milk, and inspected our food?

Don't miss this chance!
Listen, there's a ~75% chance that if you phone bank with @standupforscience.bsky.social during the session that @jeremymberg.bsky.social is in, you'll get to hear him rant about something!

So, sign up for Saturday and Sunday!
I will be phone banking for Aftyn this weekend.

I am trying to have something else to be thankful for next week.

The more the merrier

The anti-vaccine movement is a death cult
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

They have no problem canonizing Charlie Kirk or Ashley Babbitt, but they won't acknowledge the millions who died and the millions living with HIV. Because it brings up the millions more they will kill by cutting AIDS research, treatment, and implementation programs.

If you were counting on that as a perk for reviewing this round, it's gone. Your SRO had no say in this.

We thank Dr. Dieffenbach for his unwavering service to the country. Fight this. HIV/AIDS is real.
Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."

Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

A lot of the transformational advances in HIV science — Truvada PrEP, Treatment as prevention (HPTN 052), U=U, lenacapavir PrEP etc. happened under Carl's watch. A kind and generous person to boot. Huge loss.
As @gregggonsalves.bsky.social said, here is the main winner in the forced departure of Carl Dieffenbach.

No surprise the Trump NIH director doesn’t understand how science works—doesn’t get NIH has been *the* world-historic leader in innovation.

After all, he’s never actually done any science.
Even before his rightwing pundit career 2020-25, he spent his time with economists, not scientists.
The NIH director told attendees the NIH doesn't do enough innovative research.

“What puts lives at risk is doing research that’s incremental,” Bhattacharya said. “All it does is advance the careers of the researchers that do it. It results in publications that don’t get used and aren’t replicable.”

I signed up for Nov 30. Who's with me?
Why should I spend my time phone banking on the SUFS Aftyn campaign?

1. The numbers for a win are there! We have to get out the vote.

2. Calling works!

3. Putting out the science X democracy fire requires us to take back Congress. This gets us one seat closer to 218.

4. IT IS A WINNABLE RACE!
