Most Americans want science to govern our public health policy. Not crackpot ideas.

This move marks a dire turning point for the CDC that the next Congress and administration must correct ASAP.

Where does TrumpElon think innovation for all their favorite biotech corporations comes from? PCR only exists because somebody was looking for bacteria in hot springs at Yellowstone. I’m just a private practice ophthalmologist who barely understands p values but even I know this shit is important.
This is my institution. These are the people I work with making these decisions. The situation is heartbreaking. Public medical schools have no other choice; there is no other source of funding, and everyone in academia is at extreme risk right now.

Trump's pick for health secretary has a record of attacking vaccines. In fact he's even taken direct aim at bird flu shots. Some scientists fear this doesn't bode well in case of a crisis.
How would RFK Jr. handle bird flu? His record on vaccines has experts on edge

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

Tens of thousands of years ago, modern humans mated with Neanderthals. But exactly how and when that happened, and who those groups of humans were, was less known. New research adds some clues.

Agree! The HHS Secretary must be a champion for science, evidence-based policy, and the health of all Americans.

Leadership in this role demands trust, and expertise. We need a leader with a clear commitment to to advance public health.
