Clip 1: RFK JR cites a study.
Clip 2: RFK JR cites another study.
Clip 3: Cassidy finds the first study and suggests the study contradicts RFK JR’s claim.
Clip 4: Cassidy finds the second study and points out the study was published before the vaccine came out.

Bad week for RFK

- 2 studies confirm tylenol doesn't cause autism
- 1 study confirms water fluoridation doesn't affect cognitive function

oh and since he's been nominated, there have been over confirmed 4000 cases of measles in the US

Say it louder. The sport is about the horse, not the gambler, not the clothes, not the people but the horse 👏

To RFK Jr’s credit, he’s an excellent liar.

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

He wants you to think "experts" (people with credentials or authority) and scientific evidence/consensus are the same thing. They are not.

An individual expert = a person.

Scientific consensus = the accumulated weight of evidence across many independent experts and scientific studies.

He's intentionally blurring this distinction, so he can frame distrust of evidence-based consensus as merely "questioning experts" and pretend his chosen "experts" are equivalent to scientific consensus. They are not.

The key to the South Carolina measles outbreak is lack of vaccination. That’s it.

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

This killing of Alex Pretti reveals a dark truth about the administration's view of gun rights: they are not universal. They are reserved for the "right" kind of people. If you are a MAGA supporter, your gun is a symbol of freedom. If you are a protester in Minneapolis, your gun is proof of terrorism.

The "right to bear arms" has been replaced by the "privilege to bear arms," contingent on political alignment. This is the hallmark of a militia state, not a constitutional republic.

They insert malignant relativism, so there is no truth and no trust.

great news y’all!
instead of collaborating with the greatest medical minds on the planet we’re gonna get our cutting edge healthcare info from an ex heroin addict who collected roadkill..takes hallucinogenics and sounds like he’s
5 mins from keeling over. And to prove how great this is.. right now we have outbreaks of measles polio and whooping cough.. all prehistoric diseases that had been cured that we can now proudly proclaim as back! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN🎊🥳

what has been going on the last few weeks with the dietary guidelines is a masterclass in propaganda

- create guidelines that are not meaningfully different than prior guidelines (minus a few things like protein RDA, which there is scientific consensus on now)
- acknowledge no one will actually read guidelines
- create social media assets that implicitly communicate something different than guidelines (showing meat/dairy at the "eat mostly this" section of the pyramid)
- if someone questions validity of implied comms in social media assets, can gaslight them with "the actual guidelines" (which are largely based on science and limit SFA to <10%)
- erase history by acting like they are supplanting old food pyramid (which hasn't been used for ~15 years)
- promote tribalist alignment by making up a war on protein (there isn't one, starbucks literally is putting protein in cold foam rn)
- promote tribalist alignment by acting like old guidelines had less scientific truth and more corporate/special interest than this one

it's such a clear example of what is going on right now with the administration (and this is an area of expertise I understand deeply... I cant even imagine how this is playing out in areas of governance that I do not understand).

it's very unsettling

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

RFK Jr. is misrepresenting a landmark Danish study that followed 1.2 million children over 24 years. The study found no link between aluminum in vaccines and autism or neurodevelopmental harm. Let’s fact-check his claims - using actual data. 🧵

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

RFK Jr's thimerosal thread is a masterclass in misinformation. Let's fact-check it line by line. 🧵

[Contagion @Contagion_Live]

In an early release of his letter for the Summer issue, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Jason Gallagher, discusses the recent changes to the CDC's ACIP, and where professional societies must step in and lead. #IDtwitter #MedTwitter

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵
