Read this, bookmark it, download it (& print it, too, if you want to go all out). But make sure you & yours know that medical history ( #histmed) has a solid response to the nonsense our HHS secretary is spouting. nursingclio.org/2025/06/30/m... 🧪🗃️ And follow @nursingclio.bsky.social. #MiasmaTheory
A misguided belief in "bad air" (miasma theory) led to the deaths of up to 200 million people during the #BlackDeath. We can forgive medieval medicine's lack of microscopes, data, and understanding of immunology. We cannot forgive #RFKJr risking our lives clinging to #MiasmaTheory. #PublicHealth
“We have a #healthsecretary who isn’t just #anti-vaccine — he reportedly doesn’t accept the #germtheory of #disease, preferring the “ #miasmatheory” that was discredited by #LouisPasteur in the 19th century.” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...
Opening Bluesky to read about the latest loony nutball clownery.
I have yet to be disappointed.

As Robert Kennedy enlists a skewed notion of #miasmatheory in his fight against vaccines, we learn about its actual meaning and why vaccines were a big step forward by looking at the history of #pandemics. This was my and Sarnath Banerjee's take on the topic, published by @harpercollins.bsky.social
Ancient miasma theory may help explain Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine moves #Science #HealthandMedicine #PublicHealth #MiasmaTheory #RobertFKennedyJr
