RFK Jr has been stating that the "anti-measles protection" of natural infection is better than vaccination First - if he thinks measles is not bad for you, then why care how good or long lasting the immunity against it is?? Second - Measles is NOT good for you. Do not get it to

The human race figured out that ridding milk of dangerous bacteria (now called Pasteurisation) was a good thing because it prevented people getting sick - as far back as the 1870s! 150 years later and some clowns want to go back to raw milk.

I just watched the whole RFK Jr—Hannity interview where they discuss measles. I don't know what to say. I'm really just speechless. Listening to health leadership bungle basic facts at best—and tell outright lies about long-settled science at worst—is just SO disappointing.

Not true: we develop low-cost, often patent-free vaccines for global health, which bypass big pharma, providing proof of concept that there’s another to make and deliver life-saving treatments for the world’s poorest people

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration. Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s

Some scientists in the United States have told Nature that they are considering leaving the country in the wake of widespread disruption to research brought in by the Trump administration Are you thinking about leaving? go.nature.com/4bLt1sE

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Vaccines have saved 154 million lives over the last 50 years That's a lot better than ivermectin, raw milk, beef tallow and hydroxychloroquine COMBINED!! thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Let’s be very clear: NIH research funding isn’t just about science - it’s an economic powerhouse. The $36.94 billion in external grants last year not only supported groundbreaking medical and scientific discoveries but also sustained over 400,000 jobs, fueling nearly $95

The belief that “natural” is better than “synthetic” is false—it’s the appeal to nature fallacy. Some of the most toxic substances come from nature. Botulinum toxin. Ricin. Abrin. Cyanide. Arsenic. Your body doesn’t know—or care—whether a chemical is natural or synthetic. 1/

Nonsense, deaths accelerated in 2021, but among the unvaccinated: Left: Bubble map of the unvaccinated world (bigger the bubble, lower the vaccination rate) Right: Excess COVID deaths Bottom line: Lower the COVID vaccination rate, higher the deaths. A global tragedy.
