New survey from the Annenberg Center is out. Less than a quarter of Americans (23%) have a favorable view of RFK Jr. Meanwhile 42% of us have a “very unfavorable” view of him, and many people (40%) are confused about whether he recommends the MMR vaccine. Horrifying stats for an HHS Secretary. About 1 in 3 Americans Say RFK...

The incredible Julie Scofield @juelzly.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy from @defendpublichealth.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy summarized Trump’s latest pick for Surgeon General perfectly, saying that Nicole Saphier is “exactly the wrong person”.

Two people visiting Cincinnati from out of state went to the ED at Children’s Hospital and spent 4 hours there. They were sick with measles. Those who were exposed have been notified. This is been happening repeatedly throughout the U.S. And is why vaccine choices affect everyone. Measles exposure reported at C...

CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz just parroted one of RFK Jr.’s favorite and false talking points: “If someone got hit by a bus, and they happened to have COVID, often that was called a COVID-related death”. She said this right before she spoke with a ballroom full of healthcare executives. New CDC chief discusses measle...

Peptide injections espoused by RFK Jr. and other wellness grifters are dangerous. “In July 2026, the Texas Department of State Health Services notified CDC about a group of patients who became sick after receiving intravenous (IV) glutathione at an outpatient wellness clinic”.

RFK Jr. just cancelled a bunch of grants that are fundamentally aligned with MAHA priorities, including fresh produce delivery and home visits to assist women who’ve just brought home a new baby. Why? Because these grants focused on underserved populations. Can’t have that, can we? HHS Cancels Infant Mortality, ...

Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids. Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies. Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination! COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness...

2026-2027 COVID19 vaccines should be widely available next week if not sooner. AZ is back to requiring a prescription for those who aren’t aged 65+, because I guess Gov Hobbs’ executive order has expired. It is INFURIATING that RFK Jr. has been permitted to put up barriers to vaccines.

Hundreds of pieces like this were published by experts before RFK Jr.’s confirmation, alongside some disingenuous “let’s compromise” OpEds. Republicans chose to ignore experts, voted for confirmation, and still remain steadfast in their support of the anti-vaccine, anti-public health movement. The madness of Robert F. Kenne...

Republican elected officials, particularly Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, are a disgrace. Aside from their repeated attacks on Dr. Fauci, I ask you this: Who in their right mind will ever try to lead an American pandemic response again if the consequence is being harassed for the rest of your life?

Republicans have been spouting anti-vaccine rhetoric to agitate and activate MAGA since 2021. They’ve been hellbent on putting Dr. Fauci in jail for years. And their witch hunt hasn’t stopped with him. All for the crime of scientists and healthcare workers saving lives during a pandemic.

Yesterday RFK Jr. claimed that the measles outbreak arose from kids not getting vaccinated during “lockdowns”. As the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he has had the power to roll out a massive vaccine program to fill the alleged gaps since February 13th, 2025. He has failed to do so.

RFK Jr. is the embodiment of the “medical freedom” movement. They don’t want medical freedom. They want freedom from accountability when their actions harm others.

Let’s unpack this post by NIH and CDC Director and self-made victim Jay Bhattacharya. 1. This was not misreporting. This is what RFK Jr. said in his interview. 2. Free speech was not “suspended”. If it had been no one would know who Bhattacharya is.

Linking health outcomes to genetic risk does NOT mean that anyone is to “blame”. When I was diagnosed with MS, my Mom said she felt like it was her fault in some way. Of course it’s not. It’s a spin of the roulette wheel. Direct one gene->one outcome situations aren’t all that common.

The goal of the battle over the origins of COVID19 is “to sow distrust in science and scientists”. This article shows why experts believe that this was a spillover event and not a lab leak.

Every time I post about RFK Jr.’s malicious actions, people ask why he is doing the things he does. There are many hypotheses, and mine may be wrong. But there seem to be two primary drivers: 1. He is feathering his nest so he can make money from future lawsuits. 2. His ego.

It’s just the MAGAest thing ever for Hegseth to end mandatory flu shots for the military while embracing testosterone injections. RFK Jr. probably prescribed it. This is a farce. These people are incredibly dangerous.
