Remember:
200,000 Americans needlessly perished bc they refused Covid vaccines in 2021-22
5X increase in pertussis cases from 2023 to 2024
15 measles outbreaks in 2024
Polio in NY wastewater in 2022
All from antivaccine activism in America, and now you put him charge
Why is RFK Jr such a disaster for public health? Because when you sacrifice public health at the altar of conspiracy theory, innocent people die - just remember Thabo Mbeki's AIDs denial policy let 350,000 innocent painfully and needlessly..

"No serious person should demand a debate on vaccine science between @PeterHotez and non-doctor RFK Jr," says @mehdirhasan. "Debates with anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists only serve to elevate them—and most importantly, they don't change anyone's minds."

Thanks you @hereandnow for the in-depth discussion of @gabrieldance's and my investigation of a suicide website run by two shadowy figures that has left a long trail of deaths. Most of those dying are young--including teens. As one mom asked: How is this site still allowed?
A disturbing phenomenon: websites where vulnerable people r encouraged 2 die by #suicide. @nytimes @mega2e's investigated 1 site & talks 2 @TongScott about staggering number of deaths on the site & what can be done 2 protect users @hereandnow #mentalhealth wbur.fm/3Ij18IO

The World Bank recently warned that with no climate action, 216 million people would become climate refugees by 2050.
And yet, while it sounds grim, the year was not without its moments of hope. wbur.org/hereandnow/2021/12/…

Critics say handing out fentanyl test strips encourages people to keep using drugs. The opioids program manager for Arlington County, Virginia, disagrees.
People will use drugs anyway, she says, and providing them with a test strip could save their lives.
