#OnThisDay, 28 May 1944, Sonia Butt parachutes into occupied France as an explosives expert for the British Special Operations Executive. She'd turned 20 two weeks before.
She trained maquis and coordinated sabotage operations. She was never captured.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."
But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.
Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

His complaint is that the journals publish studies that are funded by pharma companies, and I have a great idea for an alternative: what if the government funded work by researchers based at universities, who could then publish their findings?
Calling medical journals "corrupt," Kennedy says gov't scientists may be barred from publishing in Lancet, NEJM, etc going forward. #NIH may establish its own journals, he said.
Meanwhile #CDC 's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal is on the budget chopping block. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/r...

‘Corrupt’ medical journals have to change, RFK Jr. says, or the NIH will publish in-house
The criticism of The Lancet, NEJM and JAMA is not new, but the health secretary may use his position to influence research that journals publish.
