The headline should read: "The US anti-vaccine movement spearheaded by Robert F Kennedy Jr has killed a second unvaccinated child with measles." Make these cold-hearted, grifting child killers own their carnage. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A second child has died in the Texas measles outbreak

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to attend the child's funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday.

Oh look, more Ivory Tower academics sitting around talking about stuff and doing nothing.

An opportune time to promote this virtual event coming up in a few weeks, hosted by the folks at @busph.bsky.social. (Too bad there’s not much to discuss!) Details and registration: publichealthconversation.org/conversation...

A lot of us have been screaming about this for a while and no one listened to us. And you won't listen now either.

Sorry but none of you academics have done crap to prevent this. As a pediatrician has seen this happen in a state full of anti-vaxxers, I'm tired of you having these events where nothing happens. Stop talking if you're going to do something.

Richard Horton refused to acknowledge the fraud of Wakefield until literally another BMJ, BBC, and the Sunday Times metaphorically beat him over the head with all the abundant evidence that had been unearthed. I guess he hasn't changed a bit.

Not sure how this researcher can say leucovorin has *any* place in autism treatment given his own study cited in Stat News found no improvement. escholarship.org/content/qt03...

Very tough article to read because it shows how little respect for human subjects Mark and David Geier had. Thank you Dr. Morozov and Professor Caplan for your work exposing how little the Geiers cared about the children they experimented upon.

Terrific sleuthing and deep background research by @alex23.bsky.social into the horrors of "research" on autism conducted by none other than the person RFK Jr put in charge of ... you guessed it, the (non-existent) link between autism and vaccines:

From Willowbrook to the Geiers: Families Speak Out

“Once, I went down to the Geiers’ basement to use the bathroom. I saw several ladies packaging drug bottles into boxes. And in the bathroom I saw what appeared to be equipment from a chemistry lab.”

No respect for human subjects whatsoever by the Geiers. Horrible. Thank you Dr. Morozov and Professor Caplan for your work exposing how little the Geiers care about the children they experimented upon.

What's not funny is chiros backed Kennedy who is now going to help convince parents to take their kids to these quacks, especially if Kennedy can convince parents not to vaccinate. Political payola injuring children--what a great group they are.

Hope this holds up.

Also hoping MAHA doesn't start marketing aerosolized rat poison.

A new international study led by the Australian National University and King’s College London found inhaled heparin, a cheap and widely available drug, halved the need for ventilation and lowered death risk in nearly 500 hospitalized COVID patients across 6 countries.

Doctors tested a common drug on COVID. The results are stunning
A cheap, inhaled drug may revolutionize treatment for COVID-19 and other deadly lung infections.

Date: September 28, 2025
Source: King's College London
Summary: Inhaled heparin significantly lowers the risk of death and ventilation in COVID-19 patients while also showing potential against other respiratory infections. With its unique triple-action benefits, it could serve as a powerful and accessible treatment worldwide.

Oh look, anti-vaxxers marching for measles in Tempe today. Show up for the grift, leave with a highly contagious paramyxovirus @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social

RFKjr needs people to spread infectious diseases that vaccines can prevent if it weren't for RFKjr and these virulent anti-vaxxers.
