Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we

Senator U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. is absolutely correct: hepatitis B vaccine has saved a generation of Americans from liver cancer cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." nytimes.com/2025/09/01/opi…

Nine former CDC directors who served under Republican and Democratic presidents warn that the damage RFK Jr is doing to America's public health system is "unlike anything our country has ever experienced."

So the theory is that CDC, FDA, NIH, DoD, EMA, ECDC, WHO, MHRA (UK), Health Canada, TGA (Australia), PMDA (Japan), Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (Germany), ANSM (France), Swissmedic (Switzerland), and regulators across Asia, along with NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, Nature Medicine, Science,

People objecting to hepatitis B vaccination apparently have never treated patients like this. Their life ending with a terrible liver disease or else requiring a transplantation. This is about preventing illnesses like this. I have the experience of treating patients infected

Whatever you may think about DEI. The bottom line is that every NIH grant goes through a rigorous peer review process to vet the science and the people doing it. Only the top scored grants get funded. The funding cuts/ chaos are stopping research programs. People are losing jobs.

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

Wow. California, Oregon and Washington have joined forces to create their own health alliance saying that the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

During his tenure, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has followed a consistent playbook: deny, distract, and destroy. Every American, regardless of political belief, should be alarmed at the assault that’s taking place against our health protections.

Florida eliminated vaccine requirements for polio, measles, and other diseases that will now cause preventable suffering for children and many others. They're destroying one of humanity's greatest public health triumph for absolutely no reason. us.cnn.com/2025/09/03/hea…

As I told CNN last night, RFK Jr. never should have been confirmed. He’s already done immense damage to public health infrastructure and trust in vaccines. The stakes are too high to let this continue. He needs to go.

It's like we're living a nightmare. We have conspiracy wackos running our nation's most important health agencies. And people are going to die. This shouldn't be another left/right, red/blue issue. RFK Jr. has to go. And Republicans should just say what they know is true.

We need a Secretary of Health and Human Services. Not a Secretary of Conspiracies. Not a Secretary of Measles and Food Poisoning. Not a Secretary of Cancelled Research and Chemtrail Nonsense. RFK Jr. is burning down our public health system from the inside. Fire him.

A timeless model for writing a research summary. 1/2

Finally got some good grant news last week as Cosette Schneider's F31 was awarded (only 5 months after submitting JIT & 10months after a fundable score). Better late than never I guess! Congrats Cosette, we are super proud of you & thankful to fantastic co-mentors/collaborators🎉
