Misinformation Kills: In the past month alone there have been four deaths attributable to these two men. And this is a pattern. arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

Check out the Rally for Health & Science we organized in DC last Friday. Streamed on Facebook etc. Full video, clips coming soon! @drericding.bsky.social @rdmorris.bsky.social @pauloffit.bsky.social @vinguptamd.bsky.social @naturehealthglobal.bsky.social www.facebook.com/share/v/18bN...

Our research team did a deep dive this week on the Wedgewood "fake polls" confession and the different rumors and strategic narratives that have taken shape around it. We expect this story and the rumors around it to continue spreading into and beyond the midterms. uwcip.substack.com/p/from-confe...

I have told Dr. Houry personally that I think she is a hero, and that one day I believe that she will be formally recognized as one. She never stops working. Vote for public health. For your communities, your loved ones, your family and friends.

Apparently, billionaires prefer kings.

No corporation is gonna silence our message! ❌👑 Keep helping us amplify #NoKings today so we can drive HISTORIC early vote turnout, and overcome Trump’s election sabotage.

Peer-reviewed paper published this week reports a group of new SARS-related bat CoVs in Thailand, & demonstrates proof-of-concept you can get actionable public health data from wildlife sampling. 1/ 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Some of MAHA have moved on from the MMR to … Covid vaccines. Reminds me of when the antivaccine crowd just dropped the thimerosal claims after we stopped using the preservative but autism still existed.

Every administration needs a Vice Blonde, a Secretary of Blondness, and a Director of Blonde Affairs.

The Journey ICE flight has now landed in Central African Republic, a likely third-country removal. This would be the fourth time ICE has expelled non-citizen migrants to CAR. Migrants onboard have been shackled for at least 24 hours.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Sadism is the new black.

Massive outbreaks and death aren't the only fallout from anti-vaxxers' rhetoric. Now they're going after the doctors who treat measles patients, reporting them to the state medical board. Thrilled to team up with @walkerbragman.bsky.social on this one! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Important Context has a new story published in partnership with @theguardian.com. Anti-vaxxers, including Robert Kennedy Jr.’s former group, Children’s Health Defense, have been going after doctors professionally to cast doubt on measles deaths. www.importantcontext.news/anti-vaxxers...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The countless people who glossed over disinformation and normalized MAHA in any way should recognize this the result of their actions. We no longer have to wonder how the Tuskegee experiments were allowed to happen. We are seeing it for ourselves.

As best as I can tell, RFK Jr.'s latest antivax stunt runs counter to the WMA Declaration of Helsinki. Withholding HepB vaccination clearly does not meet any definition of clinical equipoise. Doing it anyway, overseas, is straight up colonialist medicine.

Measles cases just topped 4,000. Hospitalizations at 414 RFK Jr. is still in La La Land about the death count. As if nothing else matters.

Let’s go!

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the CDC have stopped recommending seven vaccines for children, including vaccines that protect against hepatitis B, RSV, and meningitis. These vaccines have kept millions of children out of the hospital and saved countless lives. I'm suing.

NEW: October 17 marks a global event called “Origin,” focused on Earth regeneration. Rather than a movement to directly influence climate policy or polluting companies, Origin promises change through synchronized prayer and body movement. Behind it? A fossil fuel heiress and an anti-vaccine doctor

352 hospitalized At this rate there will be more than 5,000 cases this year. More than double last year’s total.

The collapse of our institutions in the face of fascism is really something to behold. Here, the American College of Surgeons, the largest professional organization for surgeons in the country, platformed Trump’s ousted FDA chief Marty Makary, letting him riff about the challenges facing healthcare

For those of you who thought, "I know Elon and Newt are crazy, but who the hell is Palmer Lucky?", when Testosterone Pete announced who would lead DOD into the future, here he is. Not remotely reassuring.

That experience is disqualifying in his view. Frontline healthcare workers lacked “domain expertise.” Only people who experienced the pandemic from their couch had wisdom and insights to share.

It is all coming together right before the midterm elections. Hegseth plans to cut 20% of senior military leaders and Trump wants to federalize elections. A coup is taking place RIGHT NOW. All that is missing is a Reichstag Fire, a USS Maine, a "yellow cake" . It is coming.

The financial incentives of social media may be as important as any state actor in creating rage-baiting content on social media. youtu.be/zCvPPaIN5Ew

Excessive seems fitting. If only we could get a break from the reality version

One of the doctors Children’s Health Defense has cited to blame child measles deaths on medical malpractice and hospital error recently escaped professional liability for the death of his patient. Ironically, Dr. Pierre Kory’s defense rested on a law anti-vaxxers, including CHD, have railed against

Major social media platforms are refusing PAID ads for the Musk movie. So let’s make it free. Share vigorously. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFTf...

RFK Jr. and Trump ARE the chronic disease. They are a cancer on public health that will take decades to cure.

These people got what they wanted. No one can say the threat was hidden. It was ignored and disbelieved.

Nothing says MAHA quite like killing the CDC and giving Brad Vought control over the NIH.

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

Yeah, this was an awful time. I had to get police involved three times for threats I received while promoting COVID19 vaccines in 2021. The worst was after I was quoted in the WSJ. Can’t even recall what I said, but it launched a bunch of protonmail missives from feral anti-public health nutters.

MURRAY: The Trump admin falsely labeled birth control as abortion. Do you agree that an IUD is an abortifacient? OVERTON: If confirmed, I'll be fully briefed M: That's not an answer. The prospect of an FDA commissioner who doesn't know that birth control isn't an abortion is deeply alarming O: 😊

This image from 2020 puts current events in clear focus. At the time, if this is right, we faced a dire situation because 6 companies controlled 90% of conventional media. Today three of these companies are about to become one under a conservative billionaire. Ah for the world before Trump 2.0

One of the things I learned in writing this piece is that in 1873, a former confederate official asked SCOTUS to weaponize the 14th Amendment against biracial government. The court refused at the time. But in 2026, that's exactly what the Supreme Court did.
