The roughly 342 million people who live in the U.S. don’t seem to agree on much these days. But on at least one subject, large swaths of the country see eye to eye: Dolly Parton was a national treasure. nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-…

One year of RFK Jr as Health Secretary Let's summarise just achievements Measles is back - big time One type of food dye has been removed from Froot Loops Not one single American is healthier by any measure Research funding has been slashed That's about it MAHA!
It has been one year since RFK Jr. was sworn in as HHS Secretary. For the first time in modern American history, Americans are healthier than they were the year before.

RFK Jr. just said, ā€œI’m not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off toilet seats.ā€ This is the Secretary of Health and Human Services saying he’s not afraid of germs because of reckless behavior in his past… and we’re supposed to feel reassured? Dude….what in the actual hell?! Is this really who is leading public health right now? I wish we could wake up from this nightmare.

Proud to see @WomenInThoracic in @nytimes. The challenges highlighted are real, yet our meeting was filled with positivity, momentum, and a commitment to a better future for our mentees, patients, and daughters. Women are wanted and needed in CT surgery! nytimes.com/2025/11/29/healt…

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy. nytimes.com/2025/11/21/us/po…

ā€œā€˜Vaccines don’t cause autism’ has never been proven.ā€ Correct, because that’s not how science works. If I say ā€œsunning your perineum twice per day increases your IQ by 10 pointsā€ you would say, ā€œprove it.ā€ The burden of proof is on me, the person with a tanned perineum. If I responded by saying, ā€œno, you prove to me perineal sunning DOESN’T increase your IQ by 10 points,ā€ I am operating under the false assumption that my perineal sunning claim is fact without evidence to back it up. The burden of proof is on the person claiming that vaccines cause autism, not the other way around.
RFK Jr. just broke down to a college student that the claim ā€œvaccines don’t cause autismā€ has never been proven. ā€œThe people who told you that have been lying to you.ā€œ ā€œIn fact, only one vaccine has ever been studied, the MMR vaccine.ā€ ā€œThe 20 doses of the seven vaccines that are given during the first year of life — the DTP, the Hib, the hepatitis B, the pneumococcal vaccines and the polio vaccines — have never been studied.ā€ ā€œCongress passed the 1986 Vaccine Act and said, you’ve got to study the DTP vaccine… That study has never been done.ā€ ā€œThe only studies that were done were MMR studies, and they were all epidemiological studies… you can’t prove causation with an epidemiological study.ā€ ā€œIn 2017, the Institute of Medicine looked at all of the MMR studies and they threw out all but four of them… and the four that were left were all epidemiological studies.ā€ ā€œNone of them did what you would want to do if you actually wanted the answer, which is to compare health outcomes in a vaccinated group against health outcomes in an unvaccinated group.ā€ ā€œThat’s what we need to do and those studies we’re doing now.ā€

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths. And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.
RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection

"It activates the brain's repair systems." Dr. Mark Hyman explains how the keto diet can cure cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and more. "It helps cognitive function at every level... from autism, to Alzheimer's, to schizophrenia, to depression." "Sugar is really driving this big problem—sugar and starch... When you eat these foods, your body gets dysregulated. And when you use a diet that actually shuts off these cravings... it doesn't take long." "In five or ten days, we get a 70% reduction from all symptoms and all diseases by people just changing their diet." Credit: @drmarkhyman @TuckerCarlson

It is appalling how little coverage the shootings at the CDC received. A government agency was attacked with over 180 rounds of gunfire and David Rose, a responding police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Vaccine disinformation and hostility against science have escalated to deadly violence — a threat not just to institutions, but to all of us. Dr. @celinegounder's reflections are essential reading for anyone concerned about the consequences of disinformation and the silence that often follows these tragedies: nytimes.com/2025/08/11/opini…

The AAP has always been a leading voice in vaccine recommendations. We will continue to publish our own immunization schedule and make science-backed recommendations that pediatricians and families have trusted for decades. bit.ly/3Jas4zX

No. Mr. President. In America, you do not fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for releasing a jobs report that you don’t like. That's what authoritarians do. We need serious economists in these positions, not hacks who will only tell you what you want to hear.
