@michaeljstern.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialThere's a reason Trump's FDA is pushing their review of the abortion pill into next year: The midterms.
They don't want to tell women, before they vote in a few weeks, that they are about to lose their ability to obtain abortion medication.
Vote blue, no matter who.
@drjudystone.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialHHS Touts New #Vaccine-Injury Initiatives. @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social rightly says this will "advance his anti-vaccine agenda and will only serve to create more confusion and doubt in public health."
@elizabethjacobs.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.social“RFK Jr. has once again created a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It's more window dressing to advance his anti-vaccine agenda and will only serve to create more confusion and doubt in public health”. My impression of RFK Jr.’s announcement about his new “vaccine injury” initiative.
@jessicavalenti.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialThe FDA just announced they won’t release their “safety review” of abortion pills until March of next year. In other words: They’re stalling until after the midterms.
@elizabethjacobs.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialThis is what I said before about RFK Jr. wanting to use our tax money for the unethical study in Guinea-Bissau, in which they will experiment on infants from one of the poorest countries in the world by withholding the HepB birth dose.
My opinion hasn’t changed. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

@drdebhoury.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialCDC has had to close down country offices overseas due to lack of funding... but the political leaders were able to use funds from global health security for this inappropriate and unethical study instead. Very clear what their priorities are

@benecal.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialWhopper of the Week: RFK Jr.'s Measly Messaging On Measles
Kennedy irresponsibly muddles the simple message that measles is a serious disease that can be safely avoided with two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine.
@brucemirken.mas.to.ap.brid.gyReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialDue to declining immunity, #mumps is now coming back along with #measles. #RFKJr's attacks on #vaccines aren't helping. https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2026/10/06/surging-measles-outbreaks-may-fuel-mumps-and-other-infections/
@miriam2024.bsky.social#RFKJr "is consistently, relentlessly dishonest. Now into our 2nd year of tracking his falsehoods, we have no chance of running out of material...his statements consistently follow well-established disinformation techniques, the kind used by people whose job is to spread misleading propaganda."

@amymaxmen.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialAbsolutely stunning/horrifying to see a 5th measles death in PA.
This means the outbreak is probably far higher than numbers count, seeing as roughly 1-3 people die per 1,000. Many people aren't being tested.
Also: I'm going to states now for info, not the CDC* app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrI...

@gavinyamey.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialWhen it comes to RFK Jr and "unsettled science," the only thing that's unsettled is the *exact* body count resulting from his anti-science, anti-vaccine, conspiracy theory-based policies

@gavinyamey.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialI’ve been genuinely shocked by how rapidly & how extensively RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya dismantled the CDC It will take a generation or more to repair it & restore it to its former glory—pre-MAGA/MAHA, it was revered & seen as one of the finest public health agencies in the world Great reporting 👇
@gavinyamey.bsky.socialReposted by @miriam2024.bsky.socialRemember RFK Jr’s MAHA food advisory panel? The one that urged us to eat more beef tallow, red meat & full fat dairy—which would worsen the public’s health? You’ll never believe this: half the panel (HALF!) had financial ties to the livestock or dairy industries MAHA is such a big gift to Big Ag!
