RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.
The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.
This guy has got to go.

Tell your members of Congress that it's time to stand with science, or they have to go. Defunding the NIH isn't just costing researchers their jobs, it will cost Americans their lives.

Current NIH policy under Bhattacharya (at the behest of Project2025 architect Russell Vought) is killing the next generation of researchers.
If you value research, tell your members of Congress that the NIH needs more than funding. It needs sound leadership.

A tragedy too for democracy, which requires science as a bastion for truth-seeking about the observable world.
Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science.
We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
