😢😡😢

🙄🤦‍♂️😬

To be fair, he knows the people who are impacted are now beholden to him for $$

there’s no one higher up to complain to; there’s no one in congress with any capacity for independent accountability….

So he’s simply bleating what he wants from a position of frustratingly remarkable political safety

Who, surprise suprise, has ZERO expertise in the fields covered by the NIEHS. It just happened to be conveniently close to where they live, so “jobs for the boys” meant they could avoid an annoying shift to DC….

Not bad for college buddies 😡

Hahahahahha or that says “we spoke to someone who has nothing to do with the study to give their opinion….”

Why? You could t be bothered finding the actual authors? 🤣🤦‍♂️

Riiiiiight… my fault..

Got it. Thanks. Needed that affirmation

Did Ross Dauthat make any attempt to hold him to account? He's more right-leaning that most (?all) at NYT, but he's at least genuinely pretty academically honest....

Exactly. And his comment about the money pouring in to fix it, and how that's better than anywhere else, just blatantly ignores the constant barrage of anti-public health, anti-science dog whistles and general vaccine skepticism fomented by HHS/CDC leadership....

If he had the balls to stand WITH me in front of the families of loved ones who we cared for and yet still lost… and spout that trollop…

THEN id at least be convinced he believes his own rhetoric

From Jhay who doesn’t practice medicine. Insulting lie at best; cruel and manipulative at worst. And yet we let him lead our health research….

And let’s be honest… they’re not about “safety”; they’re about making parents shy away from the vaccines in the first place 🤬🙄

Just when you thought we can’t get any more PITIFUL…. 🤬🤯🤬

Agree. GOP and WH proved quite content to be open about starve their constituents of SNAP benefits and pay cheques. 🤬.

As much as this is a folding of the Dem house of cards, lest we forget the GOP being entirely willing to continue painfully skewering the general public 😢

Agree, nothing to gain. Everything to lose if ACA subsidies get completely culled. But that also infers that they believed they had no chance of extracting a better deal; that GOP/Trump was immovable.

That’s even more hopelessly sad….

GOP could keep it closed for a long time; Dems couldn’t. ACA subsidies would automatically sunset if nothing was done by Dec 31st. So they HAD to do something. But to cave like this? 🤦‍♂️

Good LORD?
How did this NOT get more attention and criticism? 🤯

Meanwhile, the legit HARD research into autism is being ignored at best, dropped at worst. That’s the ultimate insult to parents…

But Gavin, frustratingly these are EXACTLY the studies that RFK loves to quote. They don’t say unequivocally there IS NOT a link.

So it amplifies their agenda without being immediately dismissible .

And most media and lay public don’t go back to original article & say “hey, this is just BS” 🤦‍♂️😢

🤦‍♂️🤬 this IS HOW YOU DO RESEARCH when you know the answers you want before the research even starts 🙄

Pfizer burn. They gave Trump a link, since he doesn't seem able to find the Pfizer covid vax data "that have appeared in over 600 peer-reviewed publications" on his own.

Good day for science when RFK and Ladapo are dueling to be the worst human of the 24hr news cycle…

His career has finally done something the moment he hitched his wagon to MAGA, so lest he be forgotten about this year… vaccines and slavery? Sure!

🤡🙄

You know you’re in trouble when you work in ID , and study vaccines, haven’t heard of most, and yet first google search page of most contains antivax or autism concerns 🤦‍♂️🙄

😱😬

Well done aussie!! 🦘🇦🇺

Well done pat tam.. lots of hard work on your behalf! Now we just have to understand if there’s really ANY real risk to those non-viremic NAT+ donors… can’t help but think we give them way more antiviral that needed

Really isnt that easy, frustratingly. Endowments are often seen as a reason uni’s can self support. But most are legally not accessible in the ways that give uni flexibility. Part of the donation usually binds them to set niche areas of donor interest. So no… cant just move the $ around sadly

You’re both too kind ❤️🙏
Thanks for listening! Canberra has been fun far (although cold 🥶)

Miserable news about Moderna. We have a small stockpile of h5 vaccines, but not so easy to test and track and respond now….

we’re the ostrich putting its head in the sand….
