One year of RFK Jr as Health Secretary

Let's summarise just achievements

Measles is back - big time
One type of food dye has been removed from Froot Loops
Not one single American is healthier by any measure
Research funding has been slashed

That's about it

MAHA!

[Nisha Patel, MD MS, Dipl of ABOM, CCMS @DrPlantel]

RFK Jr. just said, “I’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off toilet seats.”

This is the Secretary of Health and Human Services saying he’s not afraid of germs because of reckless behavior in his past… and we’re supposed to feel reassured? Dude….what in the actual hell?! Is this really who is leading public health right now? I wish we could wake up from this nightmare.

@jontweetssports Yah. I’m eating sugar cookie watching the ice skaters go to town!

This is an iron lung for polio victims

You don't know anyone who needs it

Because of vaccines

[Mara Antonoff, MD, FACS @maraantonoff]

Proud to see @WomenInThoracic in @nytimes. The challenges highlighted are real, yet our meeting was filled with positivity, momentum, and a commitment to a better future for our mentees, patients, and daughters.
Women are wanted and needed in CT surgery!

Anti vaxxers call this a coincidence

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy. https://t.co/O1KKbMdA6v

“‘Vaccines don’t cause autism’ has never been proven.” Correct, because that’s not how science works.

If I say “sunning your perineum twice per day increases your IQ by 10 points” you would say, “prove it.” The burden of proof is on me, the person with a tanned perineum. If I responded by saying, “no, you prove to me perineal sunning DOESN’T increase your IQ by 10 points,” I am operating under the false assumption that my perineal sunning claim is fact without evidence to back it up.

The burden of proof is on the person claiming that vaccines cause autism, not the other way around.

Cardiothoracic leadership out en force at @WomenInThoracic meeting today! Great leaders showing up!!

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

[Dr. Vin Gupta @VinGuptaMD]

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose.

Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today.

Speak to your medical provider.

HELLO!
When is the last time you thought about this??

[ABC News @ABC]

More than 1,000 current and former employees across the Department of Health and Human Services signed a letter on Wednesday morning calling for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s resignation. https://t.co/TbqcO1U7G6

@georgetolisjr True, but they also have no idea who is good at managing these complex cases after surgery. Data and outcomes matter.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

How antivaxxers How I see
see RFK Jr RFK Jr.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths.

And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.
