Gosh, why is vaccine hesitancy increasing? It's such a mystery...

Nearing the bottom? Though, our capacity for disappointment seems infinite these days.

SC measles outbreak over. Utah's at 600+ cases. New CDC nominee Dr. Erica Schwartz — MD, JD, MPH, former Deputy Surgeon General — may signal a return to professionalism. 👀

Thanks for having me 🙏

The covid revisionist historians don’t want you to remember who actually had the power and authority to order lockdowns 6 years ago.

They’ll blast me for supposedly endorsing what Ron DeSantis actually did 6 years ago.

Don't they routinely have MAHA types and even Kirk Milhoan on like seriously what is happening?

Excerpt of sfgate article on recent viral outbreaks in San Francisco: Rotavirus in particular, a gastrointestinal illness that can cause fatal diarrhea in small children, is much higher in 2026 compared with 2025, wastewater data reveals. Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at UC San Francisco, said that it could be due to a variety of reasons ranging from better wastewater surveillance in San Francisco to lower vaccine rates, but it’s difficult to tell. “We’ve been worried about rotavirus” because vaccination against it is no longer recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “which is insane,” she told SFGATE on Monday. While rotavirus used to be part of routine childhood vaccination, the Department of Health and Human Services, now led by noted vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has changed that recommendation. Now the rotavirus vaccine is only recommended based on “shared clinical” decision-making between a doctor and patient or their guardian.

we're all trying to find the guy who did this

Why do journalists still interview her?

As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart Enough parents are quietly embracing the MMR that it’s helping to slow the outbreaks.

Measles has been spreading in the US, reaching infection levels not seen in decades and threatening the country’s elimination status. Some anti-vaxxers are now changing their minds.

Oh joy!

Maybe if I was #1 on this list, @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social would invite me too!

Del Bigtree threatens doctors, Fauci, Democrats, Biden and the media with Nuremberg trials YouTube video by Jonathan Howard

For the folks at @whyshoulditrustyou.bsky.social, it wasn't a dealbreaker that Del Bigtree threatened Nuremberg trials against public health leaders, Biden, doctors, and the press.

Although Nazis were hung after these trials, they hosted Bigtree for a "lively conversation."

I can't read their minds, but throughout 2020 the treated the virus as a well-known, predictable entity.

As always, don't take my word for it.

Just listen.

But Makary said leucovorin was backed by "incredible stories."

We Need to Prepare for the Mammoth Task of De-Trumpification The damage he and his cronies have wrought could take decades to repair, particularly when it comes to science and public health.

The task of de-Trumpification of science and public health will take a generation and a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild. Without a bold, expansive vision to guide us, there is no coming back. Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Can‘t wait for John to finally share the evidence that stupid doctors in the ICU killed patients, and COVID-19 was just a harmless little friend! youtu.be/73sKwtqd5WI?...

They should introduce him by playing this and dozens of other similar interviews from 6 years ago.

Wow. Thank you so much for this careful entry. I’m very grateful.

I’d only add that many of the doctors in WWTI are now MAHA/MAGA royalty.

How’s that all going so far?

Yep

Things our FDA commissioner wrote in the @wsj.com

Historians can grasp the trajectory of the pandemic by reading the @wsj opinion page and knowing the exact opposite happened every time.

I bet he’s now sooooo super duper upset by MAHA and what’s happening at the NIH, isn’t he?

God almighty

And yet, despite Jay Bhattacharya being RFK Jr’s closest ally in dismantling science & public health, I feel sure Stanford’s right wing Hoover Institution will welcome Jay back with open arms😢

No one can criticize Podcast Jay or the GBD.

It’s literally impossible.

We can only write “hit pieces.”

If only he had left some clues along the way.

He also used this “logic” to defend and cancel mRNA research.

What’s is about? When is it coming out?
