.@SecKennedy's allegations about the integrity of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are completely unfounded and will have a significant negative impact on Americans of all ages.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

if you're worried about birth rates, try asking young couples how they feel about the amount of maternity and paternity leave they get, how affordable they find child care and housing and family health care

What actually prevents measles? The MMR vaccine.
2 doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles infection and illness if you are exposed to the measles virus.
On the flip side?
Zero vaccine doses + virus exposure gives you a 90% chance of infection.

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:
Whether or not you care about foreign aid, you should be very worried about what DOGE is doing to @USAID right now.
Breaching highly classified systems and unlawfully attempting to unilaterally dissolve an independent federal agency.
This is a test run.

I hate being an alarmist. I really try not to be. But this is unprecedented.
If you haven’t already started, now would be a good time to flood your representatives with phone calls and emails asking for the immediate removal of Elon Musk from having ANY access to the inner workings of our government.
There is a hostile takeover actively happening in our country and we’re all just kind of watching it happen.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays.
Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?
@alandidio@drantbradley The US is not taxed into oblivion. Regardless, fewer taxes would not make for a more benevolent church. The church is already under exhortation to give & participate. This thread shows they are often failing to do so…or doing so with a lot of weirdly un-Christlike conditions.
@alandidio@drantbradley And I was countering that perhaps relying on the church to implement most or all social support is not realistic or sustainable, since most churches seem to struggle to provide even basic ongoing support in their communities (as noted in your comment).
@alandidio@drantbradley And yet a lot of religious individuals want to decimate social benefits, stating that the church is there to care for those in need. Bit of a disconnect there if they are unable to even support those within the church.
Just dropping in here as an infectious disease immunologist:
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
It doesn’t matter what RFK Jr, Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein), Pete Hegseth, Woody Harrelson, Bill Maher, and others say. Their arrogance doesn’t make their claims true.
