Yesterday the president demanded that evidence about Covid vaccines be shown to the public. Today @apoorvanyt.bsky.social & I run through some of the studies made public over the past 4+ years that show that the vaccines work. Gift link: nyti.ms/46k17Tq

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

I wrote a new thing about the conspiracy theory that helped kill the CREID network, and will kill other people as a result.

Here’s last night’s story about the impact RFK Jr. is having on public health, and why the rate of diabetes in China is *not* fifty percent. Can you hear us, Robert? Robert, listen to us: you have to stop acting like half of China has diabetes. It’s wrong, and also very weird! youtu.be/8H34jcpEsFs

“All funding is on hold,” an NIH official told colleagues at a meeting on Thursday, according to audio. “The bottom line is no one is getting any money right now. But they don’t know they’re not getting any money because it just says that it’s ‘in transit.’”

What is China really covering up in Wuhan?

I reconstructed the WHO mission with testimony from primary sources, and what I learned might surprise you.

Michelle Obama proved prescient. 😳👇

A lot of people who got the measles as children died or suffered lifelong disabilities as a result. The measles vaccine was a godsend to worldwide public health, and it’s an absolute scandal that this lethally ignorant dolt has any power over public health.
