I haven't posted on Twitter in 3 months now and that's unlikely to change. Transforming "verified" users into paid users has filled my feed with right-wing extremists.

Thank you for following me for 15 years since 2008 🙏. You can find me on Threads now: https://t.co/ZnAImfe6N6

Imagine fighting cancer and having to watch your asshole cousin @RobertKennedyJr cut funding for cancer research.

@tkulogo @TeslaAndDoge I'm pretty sure the "experts" didn't compel Elon to give a Nazi salute.

@danliu Give me a damn loyalty program. Maybe if I get enough points I'll overlook the ridiculous cleaning fees.

This is horrific.

What is unfolding is not just a policy change. It is a direct assault on life-saving medical progress. By suppressing mRNA research and halting the development of critical vaccine programs, we are denying people access to some of the most advanced disease-prevention technologies ever developed.

mRNA vaccines are no longer just about COVID.

They are now being developed to prevent cancers like melanoma and lung cancer, protect newborns from congenital infections like cytomegalovirus (CMV), and defend against global threats like avian influenza, RSV, HIV, malaria, Lyme disease, and Zika. Several of these vaccines are already in Phase 3 trials, and some were just years away from approval.

That future is now being deliberately dismantled.

This is not a matter of policy disagreement. It is a betrayal of public health, rooted in misinformation and fear. It disregards scientific evidence, abandons medical innovation, and puts millions at long-term risk. The cost will not be measured in dollars.

It will be measured in cancers not prevented, diseases not controlled, and lives not saved.

The consequences must be called what they are: preventable mass death on a national scale.

@SecKennedy Your war on science is going to kill a lot of people. You're a complete idiot, @SecKennedy.

@nyriskadvisor Hi! I'm considering a job with Applied Epic and from your Twitter feed you look to be an expert. Would you be willing to take a quick call? I'd love to pick your brains and ask you some questions. I would send you a gift card for your time.
