12 former @fda.gov commissioners from both parties just went on the record in @nejm.org calling Vinay Prasad’s vaccine framework a threat to public health. They bring more than 3 decades of leadership at the agency, and it is hard to think of a more forceful warning. 🧵

Absolutely unconscionable: Dr Prasad won't share details, data, evidence, or proof of causality. We just have Dr Tracy Beth Høeg's vibes - that's the assessment.

FDA says it won't release details of claimed Covid vaccine deaths in 'near term'
Details from an investigation by CBER Director Vinay Prasad into 10 alleged child deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines won't be coming soon, an FDA spokesperson told Endpoints News on Wednesday.

The shooting of National Guard members is a horrific act of violence. I’m praying for these servicemembers and their loved ones.

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.
My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

Just curious: any lawyers or healthcare professionals know if these anti-science/anti-vax physicians can get malpractice insurance? Isn’t the standard of care what a reasonable colleague would do or what the evidence based recommendations are? Seems like a zero chance of winning a lawsuit…

RFK Jr. is a big proponent of peptide injections.
They aren’t tested, aren’t FDA-approved, recently caused two women to be hospitalized in critical condition, and make a shit ton of money for dishonest quacks who peddle them.
No wonder he loves them.

The trend of unproven peptides is spreading through influencers and RFK Jr. allies
More Americans are turning to peptides for muscle building, skin rejuvenation, and to try and live longer even though the substances aren’t FDA approved.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
