NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
RFK Jr. is a monster. An entirely self-designed, self-created, deliberate, intentional, WILLING monster.
And he needs to go.
He needs to find the birds next.
"TAX?!?!?"
That's about where it ends.
The number of times I've argued this with a small business owner who has complained about paying for healthcare is greater than I can say. It is amazing cognitive dissonance.
With RFKjr judicially blocked from taking childhood vaccines off the US schedule, pediatricians now worry how else he'll bring back dangerous child infections. One way is FDA removal of the RSV monoclonal antibody shot, as it's not a vaccine. A 🧵on an antivaxxer caught two-facing it on this shot.
In first speech to her FDA staff, Høeg says she’ll scrutinize RSV shots and SSRIs in pregnancy (even though her job does not include vaccine oversight). www.statnews.com/2026/02/19/t... via @statnews @lizzylawrence.bsky.social
CDC delays publishing report showing covid vaccine benefits The acting CDC director cited concerns with the methodology, but the design has long been used to test vaccine effectiveness. Today at 5:00 a.m. ET
Jay Bhattacharya has been one of the most faithful of the anti-vaxx MAHA activists in the Trump regime
RFK Jr lies when he says COVID vaccines are “the deadliest vaccines” in history; I guess Jay needs to keep pleasing his bosses, RFK Jr & Trump

Now I kind of miss it.

Eventually I came up with the idea of dragging it off the screen- that worked. I spent an hour waiting for it to return but it did not.
I went back to my office and opened the app again- it came back. But now that I'm home trying to show my kids 2 days later, I can't get it to show up again. 4/
I like birds and this one was acting kind of cute as it waddled around the screen. I tried to tap it to make it go away - no luck. Double-tap - nope. I dragged it to a different area of the screen - it waddled back to where I was writing. It then decided to swim on the screen in front of me 3/
Around me are all these more-important-than-me people with high positions in the university. Right before I'm introduced, I look down at my notes and see- this blue duck walking across the screen. 2/
A moment in my exciting life.
Monday at 1pm, I arrive in a new-to-me conference room for a meeting of a university committee that I am co-chairing. It's a big charge. I'm not really nervous but I am primed to go. I have my laptop deployed, files ready, and iPad to take notes in Notability. 1/

Eh, it’s harmless AI then.
This was what I needed to see on this taco Tuesday.
This is what I needed today. Thank you, kind stranger.

Yes, but while I’ve enjoyed your work, the writing in the story on the facing page is pure gold.
Given the fate of cabinet members recently, you’d think they‘d use it for their own self-preservation.
There is a circle in a black screen, showing that the software is unresponsive as per usual.

Oh I know it's not the biggest vector-borne concern for humanity. I just believe it's the one that is closest to affecting me. I dress like a Tusken Raider when I ride in the woods.
one maddening thing about all of this is the conservative idea that "election day" has always meant a single day until recently, which is nonsense. 19th century elections often took place over the course of an entire month, with results trickling out over time.
This is exactly how it should be reported instead of taking one of these and making a headline with it.
Indeed. This NJ hiker and mountain biking will be lining for a safe Lyme disease vaccine before the forces against vaccination manages to have it removed. There are few infectious diseases that concern me more.
The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover.
The state capture of network television is almost complete.
The battle for MAGA's attention post-Trump is going to be amazing.
The "we" in this statement is "we the citizens of the United States"
A country’s budget reveals its priorities, and we aren’t one of them.
I would actually take the exchange. RFK Jr is a true believer in the dangerous crap he is peddling. Oz is a grifter, but I'd bet he's not inclined to destroy public health or CDC.
