@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialIt’s whopper Wednesday and today’s whopper is about how Secretary Kennedy purposefully 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.
@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialDid you know an outbreak of mumps has sidelined 17 football players at San Diego State University since September 18? @drjudystone.bsky.social writes all about that and more

@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialWhopper #51 takes a look back on this summer's cyclosporiasis outbreak and Kennedy's lie that it was under control in July. The outbreak was not officially declared over for until September, after there had been close to to 20,000 confirmed cases.

We need a Sec of Health committed to making food safe again.
@defendpublichealth.bsky.social“Vought and RFK Jr. are out-of-control zealots with no rational policy goals. To treat them otherwise is to invest their deep sociopathy with credibility.” @gregggonsalves.bsky.social latest for @thenation.com

@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialOur Whoppers of the week show RFK jr “consistently undermines science, the importance of government programs, the norms of what constitutes public health, and the dedicated workforce of HHS.“ thanks to @benecal.bsky.social leading the charge on our Whoppers and the year retrospective!
@elizabethjacobs.bsky.socialReposted by @defendpublichealth.bsky.socialThe Nation is out with an article about Defend Public Health @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and why we continue to fight for the health of all of the people of the United States.
@benecal.bsky.social, the leader of the Whopper of the Week, is quoted extensively here. 🔥
@elizabethjacobs.bsky.socialReposted by @defendpublichealth.bsky.socialThe incredible Julie Scofield @juelzly.bsky.social from @defendpublichealth.bsky.social summarized Trump’s latest pick for Surgeon General perfectly, saying that Nicole Saphier is “exactly the wrong person”.
Amazing how often that happens with the Regime.
@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialThe Nation has just published an in-depth article on Defend Public Health, featuring the incredible @benecal.bsky.social, who is the leader of the Whopper of the Week project.
They have pulled no punches. 🔥
@defendpublichealth.bsky.social“In a statement issued on Wednesday, Defend Public Health coordinating committee member @juelzly.bsky.social said Saphier is ‘exactly the wrong person to be Surgeon General.‘“
@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialYour HHS Secretary at work 😢🤦♀️
@defendpublichealth.bsky.socialIt’s been a year since @benecal.bsky.social took on the challenge of debunking a falsehood by RFK Jr. in DPH’s Whopper of the Week.
What have we learned from this exercise? You can read the report here.
@defendpublichealth.bsky.social“People should not accept this in their government. They should vote. I’m not telling them how to vote, but they should vote for candidates who support truth and support public health”.
Great quote from DPH member @miriam2024.bsky.social in this article by @drjudystone.bsky.social.
