It truly is a failure of our society that a man worth $640 billion is allowed to spend his days broadcasting lies and conspiracy theories to incite hate to hundreds of millions of people on a platform where he controls what you see, when you see it, completely unchecked.

RFK Jr never stops lying about vaccines. This is a good explanation of why it’s a myth that side effects of the HepB vaccine were only tracked for 4 days. Minor AEs like sore arm and fever were tracked 4 days. Severe AEs were tracked through the length of the trail & after.

MAHA means more money for those who sell false hope to people in desperate medical situations. The current health administration is enriching the grifters. 🤑

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today. Change has never been easy.

3 things in life are certain: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Anti-vaccine activists bringing stories and anecdotes to a data and evidence fight.

It will be fun to watch this lawsuit fail in the courts. 🍿 CHD is always after publicity and has built their organization by taking advantage of the public’s lack of science literacy. They wouldn’t know a scientifically rigorous study from a hole in the ground.

Those against mRNA technology never want to acknowledge its benefits for COVID or other applications like cancer treatment. We should perfect the technology to reduce side effects and adverse reactions, not discard it.

This is simply false. The average age of breast cancer has not dropped 20 years. That would be one of the largest epidemiologic shifts in modern oncology and would be visible instantly in SEER, NCI, and international registries. It hasn’t happened. “A friend at MD Anderson” is
