The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.

Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

How did that happen?🧵

Goldberg is responsible for the anti-anti-fascist (that is, pro-fascist) dreck from Caitlin Flanagan and Conor Friedersdorf and other reactionary centrist writers too many to name.

Goldberg presided over taking money from Koch to write about weaponizing “speech on campus.”

I’ll be discussing the Atlantics role in creating MAHA Friday for SBM.
Jeff Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic, is a villain who has helped create American fascism.
Kudos to Kennedy's handlers for getting him a cover shoot -- praying with a rosary! -- at the same time he's at the center of a 🤢 cyber infidelity scandal. No notes.

In a pretty stark contrast, @melodyschreiber.com understands the truth: the pundit class helped make the moment, and truly cares for nothing (including public health). The elites are the ones behind the steering wheel. Health workers are picking up the pieces newrepublic.com/article/2035...

More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

In December 2024, Vinay Prasad was telling the world RFK was going to save vaccines.

RFK is the hero real vaccine advocates have all been waiting for. He would finally provide definitive answers.

Makary and Oz stand there and nod as their boss lies about vaccines not being tested.

Can you imagine a doctor sinking lower than this?

I can't.

It's the Mariana trench of medical ethics.

RFK Jr. says it’s time to build a healthcare system that rewards keeping people healthy instead of profiting off their sickness.

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC.

Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.
BREAKING via @jeremyfaust.bsky.social: The CDC's internal email server now lists Louisiana physician Ralph Lee Abraham, MD, as the agency's principal deputy director -- "an irresponsible choice," according to one public health expert.

"The only thing you need to know about Olivia Nuzzi is that she used her position of power, as a journalist, to advise and elevate the world’s most prominent anti-vaccine activist to the most influential health position in the United States."

YEP!

Same for these guys their defense attorneys.

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.

My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

Truth be told, all of MAHA and most alt-med are barely disguised victim blaming, bigotry, and eugenics.

Well, some are just life unworthy of life.
