This is incredibly bad.

“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Marks wrote.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist

Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed for coronavirus vaccines, warned that a measles outbreak shows how confidence in science is being “undermined.”

Texas is reporting that the number of measles cases has risen to 198, an increase of almost 40 cases in the last 3 days. 23 people have been hosp. If you live in Texas or anywhere in the US, and you or your children have not been vaccinated, you should do that now. www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

How many deaths from measles will need to occur in the US before the Sec of HHS states unequivocally that everyone should be vaccinated?

There’s a measles outbreak in W Texas where 18% of kindergartners have a vaccine exemption (c/w 3% nationally). This will get much worse with RFK Jr. Wondering if Sen Collins will be very concerned when people start to die from preventable illnesses. t.co/K9is8GHlte

Overshadowed this week by a tsunami of outrageous & possibly unconstitutional orders from the new administration was this shocking mandate for CDC researchers to retract submitted scientific papers so that they can be examined for banned terms or content.

US CDC orders pullback of new scientific papers involving its researchers, source says

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking to withdraw all papers involving its researchers that are being considered for publication by external scientific journals to allow for a review by the Trump administration, a federal official told Reuters.

NYC has asked hospitals to subtype all patients admitted with influenza A. This is an effort to look for H5N1 in the community and stems from a CDC advisory 2 weeks ago.

Is it a coincidence that pages start disappearing from the CDC website only after RFK’s hearings are concluded?

In case this disappears from the CDC website in the coming days, here’s a reminder that the HPV vaccine prevents cancer. It’s an actual anti-cancer vaccine. Vaccinate your kids.

“For the German establishment, the situation was very clear.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial. “There is no need to make this unnecessarily complicated,” the editorial said.”

A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

The central issue with the nomination of RFK Jr is less whether he’s qualified for the position (I think he’s not) but more that his antivax & conspiracy theories disqualify him from a post central to emergency response during a national health emergency.

So Biden awarded Liz Cheney a lesser recognition than Anna Wintour, Denzel Washington, and Bill Nye the Science Guy? Indefensible. This is the Presidential Medal of Freedom. No public figure has demonstrated courage in the defense of freedom more than Liz.

At age 90, President Carter was cured of melanoma that had metastasized to his liver and brain. He was treated with a combination of surgery, radiation, and at that time a new drug, pembroluzimab (Keytruda). Immunotherapy has changed the outlook for many people with advanced cancers.
