The cognitive dissonance in this administration, the CDC, FDA etc. is striking. Vaccines and acetaminophen have extensive safety data demonstrating that they are safe. These have extensive data demonstrating effectiveness. But they are targets because of grifters who want $ and women to suffer. 1/2

This is the most anti-science thing I have watched today.
What is most shocking about this is all of these statements are being made without any scientific evidence to back it up.
There are very few safe options to treat pain and fever in pregnancy so this is also an attack on women's health.
what the hell did Tylenol ever do to this guy?

Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy probably doesn't give babies autism.

Tylenol Use In Pregnancy Probably Doesn't Give Babies Autism
Why acetaminophen/paracetamol probably isn't causing the autism epidemic.

I'm not watching whatever irresponsible press conference is on right now. But Tylenol, just like vaccines, does not cause autism. Hopes this helps.

Good thread to catch anyone up on the tomfoolery of the ACIP
My ACIP recap: 🧵

1) MMRV combo vaccine no longer recommended for children <4y. That means vaccine will not be covered by insurance, so not an option for patients. The 2 shot MMR and chickenpox vaccines are still available. This removes access. Let’s see which vaccine they will go for next!

Sadly, the CDC social media accounts are posting misinformation - #ObGyn + #MedSky + #IDSky.

I will try and make this brief - we have five years worth data but I think I can summarize in a few posts.

Thank you to the minority on the COVID-19 workgroup for reminding us that this should be about the data, and what the data shows - covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

I'm old enough to remember discussions about access at ACIP going in a different direction

Primary care doctors have enough on our plate. We don't need or want this change.

Levi might know this if he went to medical school.
Dr. Levi, you don't have the authority to make something require a prescription, actually. That's not part of what ACIP does.

And I am done for the day. School pickup, baseball practice, and just not thinking about these unscientific people.

I'll keep adding thoughts over the weekend. Thanks for all those who followed along. I really appreciate it!

I mean I know there will be technical difficulties, but...... #acip
September 19, 2025 at 6:01 PM
I know he's saying work group but it sounds much like war group, which is what this is becoming #acip
September 19, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Levi says this is too nuanced. If it's too nuanced for you, as an #acip member, then you have NO business being on the committee.
September 19, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Want vaccines prescribed?!?! Ok, lots of off label then.....

Now wants to update the VIS with just utter garbage that makes the anti-vaccination lobby happy.

Wants to include post vaccine syndrome in the VIS based on absolutely no published data or papers, just vibes.

I miss when vibes just meant relaxing with or without the help of certain plants. #acip
September 19, 2025 at 5:53 PM
Levi now saying that the 10% number of health care vaccinations is still real, despite the committee being corrected earlier. #acip.

Brings me back to something Kulldorff said about the media following along. Media should be shouting from the rooftops that this committee is anti-vaccine. This last presentation by Levi seals the deal. It's the ultimate edict from RFK Jr. Sow doubt, line pockets, who cares about people #acip
September 19, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Levi also has a slide that says mRNA vaccines don't work as intended. I mean.....look around. They've been instrumental to the vast majority of the world. #acip
September 19, 2025 at 5:47 PM
So in his presentation, Levi has a part of a slide that looks like this (1/2)
September 19, 2025 at 5:42 PM
Love that, a guy with a PhD in operational research, is talking about proper experimental design in epidemiology and vaccinology.

Just pure egomaniacal behavior. #acpi
September 19, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Levi, buddy, just go read the literature. #acip
September 19, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Here are #acip beliefs: recommendations are based on low quality data, cannot detect vaccine injuries etc. Literally had a presentation about a safety signal from the vaccine safety systems.

This "ample" published research has been retracted, published in low quality journals, or is anecdotal.
