Credit where credit is due.

Reuters recently reported that Dr. Marty Makary + Dr. Jay Bhattacharya stood up for vaccines inside RFK Jr.'s HHS.

Whatever else they've gotten wrong, we must recognize when they get something right.

The debate over math in middle school is complicated and fascinating.

Here, Kate Taylor* reports on recent attempts in Cambridge, MA.

Some parents are happy with the results.

But 60% of 8th graders will have to repeat algebra next year😳

RFK Jr. and the CDC’s top official, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, don’t want you to read this.

Paper shows that 2025-2026 Covid-19 vaccines were effective.

They censored it.

That’s exactly why we need to read it.

So, we published it in Inside Medicine!

Take a look...
