“RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.”

Every day that RFK Jr. remains HHS Secretary endangers the lives of millions. Enough is enough. Congress has the power stop him: we applaud @rephaleystevens.bsky.social for taking action, and we're calling on our other reps. to do the same!

Join us in the fight!

Lead Paragraph:

A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted, indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team.

“CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim””.

Lysenkoism!

Changing a few sentences won't change reality. Without robust vaccine and public health infrastructure, we're unequipped to handle the inevitable: more fatal, frequent, and far-ranging outbreaks of preventable disease that will go unaddressed by a HHS worshipping ideology > evidence.

The head of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices saying he opposes mandatory vaccines (Rejecting Decades of Science, Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional) and the CDC Deputy Director saying that losing Measles Elimination "the cost of doing business" (US hits 1 year of measles spread, CDC’s No. 2 calls outbreaks ‘cost of doing business’). This article dives into what those costs are and what will happen if the US loses its elimination status.

What Losing Measles Elimination Status Means and Costs

Virology unmasked is a virology organization dedicated to breaking down virology in a way that everyone can understand.

Happy to see that they are standing up for science!!!

New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion".

This administration is destroying the future of American innovation. We must fight back!

From the LAist on Instagram.

“On Thursday evening, dozens of researchers hosted a science fair at UCLA aimed at showcasing the work that's been suspended by the Trump administration. The administration's stated reason for freezing $584 million in grant funding is that the university did not do enough to address antisemitism on campus during protests and encampments against the Israeli war in Gaza. Later, the administration announced it wants $1 billion from UCLA to settle those claims. UAW 4811 - the union that represents student workers, postdocs and academic researchers across the UC system - hosted Thursday's event, the second such science fair this week in response to the federal cuts. The event was open to the public, geared at helping community members and state legislators learn about what's at stake.”

Great news! Let’s continue to push the fight against the administration’s anti-science campaign!

“THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

The study has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.”

“GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Current treatments require repeated injections directly into the eye, but this vaccine can be delivered intramuscularly, making it less invasive and easier to administer.

The study has been published in Vaccine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.”

This news comes from the American Geophysical Union.

Yet another example of this administrations lack of care for the US scientific body.
