RFK Jr. has awarded $1.6 million to a group in Denmark to conduct a randomized, single-blind study of the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) to be conducted in Guinea-Bissau.
In my opinion, this is, quite simply, completely unethical, unacceptable, and predatory.
Here’s why.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Rob Reiner was so much Tr*mp never will be—talented, likable, intentionally funny, principled, and loved, to name a few. Tr*mp knows it, and that’s why he’s lashing out. He’s a toddler throwing a tantrum. Unfortunately for us, we elected him president.
For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

This podcast is great! This most recent episode really made me realize that Vinay Prasad is the Andrew Tate of medicine.
Episode 12 is live! We discuss the widening gender divide and how Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and others are driving the gap. Eg, Fuentes says women want to be raped, and Tate says enjoying sex with a woman is gay. Now girls are less interested in marriage—go figure. Available wherever you listen.
