RFK Jr. is definitely coming for your vaccines (part 6): Liability, ethics, and policy-based evidence making As 2026 dawns, look for HHS Secretary Robert F.

It’s a madhouse! Public health under the heirs to Lysenko (and Dr. Zaius) in 2025 As 2025 barrels towards its depressing conclusion, I look back at the damage federal science and medicine have sustained thus far under Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. through the lens of a classic film. Truly, it's a madhouse, in which our federal science apparatus is run by Lysenko's heirs. The post It’s a madhouse!

Every accusation is a confession (or a statement of intent): MAHA’s new Tuskegee experiment HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s CDC just funneled a $1.6 million dollar grant to researchers to carry out an unethical and scientifically unjustified randomized clinical trial of the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau. With MAHA, it's Tuskegee all over again. The post Every accusation is a confession (or a statement of intent): MAHA’s new Tuskegee experiment first appeared on Science-Based Medicine.

The FDA under MAHA control: Weakening the quack Miranda warning on supplements The FDA sent a letter to the supplement industry assuring that it would make it easier for them to hide disclaimers (which we like to call "quack Miranda warnings") about unproven health claims for supplements.

“Best practices”: The buzzword that the Trump administration will use to eliminate as many vaccines as RFK Jr. can The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met last week, eliminating the universal recommendation for the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.
