- Reversing the burden of proof (demanding that others disprove a claim instead of providing evidence for it)
- Anecdotes as evidence
- Naturalistic fallacy (“natural immunity is better”)
- False balance (“both sides” even when evidence is lopsided)

Watch for:
- False authority (non-experts framed as experts)
- Appeal to fear (magnifying tiny risks, minimizing bigger ones)
- Correlation ≠ causation
- Cherry-picking (one flawed study vs. dozens of high-quality ones)
- Moving goalposts (“if it’s not thimerosal, then aluminum… or DNA…”)

Remember, this is same HHS that issued reports citing non-existent studies and AI-generated recommendations. This is their version of "rigorous evidence" and "gold standard science." I hope some red-state governors now have the strength of character to join the new Governors Public Health Alliance!

Not surprisingly, the HHS lackey tasked with responding to this told this whopper: “The Trump Administration and Secretary Kennedy are rebuilding [...] trust by grounding every policy in rigorous evidence and gold standard science — not the failed politics of the pandemic.”

“Make America Healthy Again” sounds good—but behind the slogan is chaos, deregulation, and danger. Nine former CDC directors have warned: this is unlike anything we've seen before.

This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. We must protect science. We must protect public health.
