New Documents Reveal a Controversial Vaccine Study's Unusual Path to CDC Approval A new investigation has found irregularities in the ethics review of a grant to study effects of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau.

Eye opening article highlighting the sham IRB and other concerning issues with the Guinea Bissau #HepB vaccine study. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wow....sad.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

RFK Jr.’s handpicked anti-vaccine staff at HHS have apparently decided that the CDC will no longer recommend most childhood vaccines.

They will encourage parents to discuss it with doctors instead.

This is going to kill babies, and it will cause the most harm among the most vulnerable.

So awful.

Every single day, someone in MAHA demands that scientists do something that violates the ethical principles that resulted directly from the exposure of the Tuskegee study.

Kennedy’s Vaccine Panel Votes to Limit Access to Covid Shots

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject.

I care for children in the hospital on inpatient & consult services.

Most weeks there are at least a few kids admitted with vaccine preventable diseases.

Often in children who can’t get vaccinated themselves.

15 years in pediatrics and I’ve never seen a single one admitted with vaccine injury.

Happening now!

Let's model deferring to experts and not pretending to know everything. 👍

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

So disappointing and sad for the public health community and the CDC to have RFKjr oust Dr. Susan Monarez, and Dr. Demetre Daskalakis who are great advocates for public health.

So far just in the last hour or so, director of CDC and 3 top personnel, including 2 center directors and the chief medical officer.

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6 “In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

No one should ever have the power to autonomously cancel hundreds of millions of dollars for scientific research based on some lies they saw on YouTube.

Researchers have registered more than 120 clinical trials to date evaluating the potential of mRNA-based approaches for treating many types of cancer, including lung, breast, and prostate, pancreatic, and brain tumors.
