RFK Jr. just said in a hearing that vaccination rates in the U.S. went down “because the government lied to them about COVID”.
He blithely ignores that under his “leadership”, the government is lying to us NOW. Vaccination rates and trust in the government have plummeted since he was installed.
They only care when it affects them. For them, people’s suffering isn’t real or is something to be celebrated.
"You don’t just switch the lights back on for these things after Trump is gone and expect to find everything just as it was."
"If the Democrats win back the White House, Senate, and House, they are going to have to pony up billions even to restore these agencies to where they were pre-Trump."
“A company that has such naked ideological motivations and lack of respect for democratic rule of law should be nowhere near our public services.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Sadly they simply don’t care. Bad things happen to other people’s children.
"The new OECD report is a rare attempt to quantify the impact of long COVID on both individuals and countries.
The researchers note that it’s no small feat because few countries actually track sufferers," writes @picardonhealth.bsky.social.

It's not just oil prices.
"Farmers on Prince Edward Island are bracing for fertilizer price hikes, as global supply pressure builds. For grain grower Alan Miller, that could make an already expensive season even harder to manage."

Yes. My autocorrect wanted to correct it as well. But I chose to leave it as is.
“Unrepentant walking roladex of death” is a phrase I will re-use thank you.
Once again, RFK absolves himself and his 20 year history of anti-vaxx disinformation and blames doctors, not measles, for the death of 2 girls in Texas last year.
Shameful.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades, attention span, and social life.
School-aged children with long COVID had more than double the risk of decreased academic performance than those without the condition. 📝

Vinay Prasad announced without evidence that COVID19 vaccines caused the deaths of 10 children.
Members of ACIP have made numerous false claims about how harmful they believe COVID19 vaccines are.
Now, ACIP won’t be discussing them because it’s political poison.
They were lying all along.
The base rate fallacy is "part mathematical paradox and part cognitive bias" and it has a huge impact on our thinking.
It impacts how we thinking of false positive test results, safety issues, and the value of public health measures.

“Unfortunately, this week's poll became the raw material for that normalization. I believe this poll was conducted and reported in good faith, but it does not show that RFK Jr.’s views on vaccines are now mainstream or that most Americans no longer trust vaccines.” #Medsky
“Did you notice the problem? You weren’t asked about one thing; you were asked about four different things simultaneously.
These are separate and independent beliefs all bundled into a binary choice. Survey methodologists call this a “double-barreled question.” This question has four barrels.”
Such an important piece from @drhigginsmd.bsky.social. I had similar conclusions when I looked at the Politico poll in question, but Dr. Higgins expressed it more eloquently than I ever could.
Vaccine hesitancy is not mainstream and we should not present it as such.
Antivaxxers hate her.
That’s all I need to know.
Yes, RFK has long maintained that doctors who treated COVID patients killed them
Sorry.. I’m here. 🙃
“So much of the experimentation with GLP-1s is happening outside of traditional research models, careful clinical trials and even the health system. Given the immense popularity of these drugs, regulators and the medical establishment need urgently to figure out how to best capture and keep pace”

Gideon M-K and his co-author were “live-tweeting” their eventually published living meta-analysis. Each time a mortality study came out it was added.
Ioaniddis knew this… but chose only to insult Gideon’s cat.

The cull should have ended this for good, but H5N1 is still everywhere in birds, Facebook Live still exists, & the medical freedom Maple MAGAs are still grifting towards fascism.

Ok internet. Explain to me why what looks like a power box would be hanging from a gutter in Old Quebec? 🤷♂️
Frightening story.
No reasonable person denies the problems in US healthcare, and I get why, given those barriers, asking AI for medical advice is seductive.
But the position that experts are obsolete in the age of AI is patently false—if anything, they are even more important.
Three in one! Toddler utopia!
