#ACIP Let's talk about the presenters we've had so far:

Dr. Cynthia Nevison, a climate researcher, and Mr. Mark Blaxill (Harvard MBA, no scientific or medical expertise) are both known for authoring a retracted paper on the "costs of autism." Blaxill holds and Nevison has ties to anti-vax beliefs
Controversial ‘cost of autism’ paper retracted
The journal’s decision comes two years after Spectrum covered backlash from researchers over the study.

Journalists! If you’re covering the #ACIP meeting this week, this report is super helpful, with tons of info and stats on the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine
CIDRAP’s Vaccine Integrity Project has released a major evidence review: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion is unmistakable.

There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

Given what’s about to go down at the #ACIP sham meeting this week, this article is a must read and actual science.

Here is Jason Goldman's beautiful, amazing takedown of the whole sham #ACIP meeting today. (2 parts) So glad he said what every expert in the field is feeling today (and all year).

The incompetence is staggering. To have 4 votes and not even legal experts can figure out what the recommendations are is wild (I’m not positive either- the meeting was profoundly incoherent)
Okay. ACIP meeting is over. Here are the four things they voted on with regard to Covid vaccines. Votes 1, 3 and 4 passed. Vote 2 (the call for a prescription requirement) did NOT pass.

The language is so unclear that two legal experts I've consulted so far don't know what this means for access.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.
RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world
Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

I pissed off a bunch of people being mad at Chuck Schumer this morning so I suppose I should share what I wrote about Hakeem Jeffries in today's newsletter.

That and, of course, all the usual baseball and other bullshit. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."

Mainstream Dems yelling at people, telling us we MUST vote for the Democratic candidate next time when party approval rating is historically low and they're ACTIVELY UNDERMINING the most popular Democratic candidate we've seen in over a decade is the most fascist, blue MAGA shit I have ever seen.

They're literally trying to kill 2 million people and @senatorwong.bsky.social is breaking down the parts of a death plane into lethal and non-lethal.

That's the West in a nutshell. Silo everything. No accountability. Nothing is connected to anything else. Detachment to exist with barbarism.
