I learned this in Biology 201. He did not.
Thanks Josef! 💙
🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget! House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion. To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!!
MAGA NIH claims to promote gold standard science while cutting cancer research. Dr. Monarez was fired b/c she tried to prevent political meddling in science. Scientists at the CDC quit b/c it had become untenable to do science that serves the public. 🧪🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...
🧪Jim O'Neill, the acting CDC director, is a tech investor w/o a biology degree or the relevant experience. Susan Monarez was fired b/c she refused to endorse anti-science directives. Multiple officials resigned as they were forced to pick ideology over science. Every accusation is a confession.

Hi Jaye!
We shouldn't just be alarmed. The red flags are there. He is destroying the American healthcare system.
I saw that. Need to read it!!
That’s a disaster
I foresee disaster

Of course! We all want to be healthy. But the approach is wrong.
❤️❤️ I’m honored to be in your skircle. Thanks for being a glimmer in my life.
Dogs are the best ❤️💙

Exactly. There’s always an agenda
This is why we write letters about science in small local newspapers. Oskar Schindler is a great example of individual non-compliance. Texas residents are ignoring SB8 & are helping people who need abortion access. Small acts of resistance serve a purpose. 🧪 www.thenation.com/article/acti...
John Oliver fact-checks Kennedy. PSA- everything coming out of the HHS needs to be fact-checked. Anyone can spout numbers. Here he goes again, as usual. MAHA math ain't mathin'. 🧪 www.youtube.com/shorts/JPzXG...

The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.
Historian here Happy Labor Day to those who claim to believe in American exceptionalism: you don’t believe in a constitutional democracy, the rule of law, civic nationalism beyond ethnicity, a prosperous healthy educated middle class and scientific progress that made the US the envy of the world!
Good Morning Brenda and #BreakfastCrew #BlueCrew💙 💙 Today I’ll be celebrating my PhD anniversary. Looking forward to a warmer week.
Good Morning Jaye! 💙
Good Morning Ray!
“So the CDC that we’re talking about today is not the CDC of even two years ago… I think it’s important for the American public to know that they really need to be cautious about the recommendations that they’re hearing coming out of ACIP, given what we’re telling you” warns @drdemetre.bsky.social
We are losing so much

Be careful. I’ve been getting some of those

Cutting and pasting irrelevant stats to fit your agenda. This is what is happening here.
Love this.

It has been relaxing. How is yours?
Yup
Support for novel pediatric cancer therapies is cut. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium focuses on testing the efficacy of novel treatments. It was established in 1999 by the National Cancer Institute, part of the NIH. We wont know what potential is lost. 🧪 🎁 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

Thanks Annette 💙
It’s interesting to see how the world portrays us
Carl this is so interesting!
Thanks eggz 💙 The cartoon is on point 💙
@stephen5150.bsky.social Thanks for the Sunday shout out! 💙 That’s true!
Susan Monarez, the CDC director, was fired by the WH. Her public statements that vaccines save lives are against WH agenda. Kennedy talks about "mitochondrial challenges" as a condition. POTUS openly talks about being a dictator. 🧪 www.science.org/content/blog... Via @dereklowe.bsky.social
Kennedy's $50m initiative seeks to fund studies on the causes of autism, while ignoring decades of research. In grad school, I learned that the rise in breast cancer incidence is in part due to more diagnoses. Same goes for autism. Autism is not an epidemic. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is the interim CDC Director. He is accusing pre-Trump CDC staff of “manipulating health data to support a political narrative”. This man and his boss Kennedy are the ones who are manipulating data for a political narrative. This is an existential threat to the United States of America.

Good Morning y’all!
This is a really great article and a good read.
Agree, and I do think it’s time to envision something new as we look to the future!
It’s about bending science to your narrative. They are willfully ignoring what the science says
😆😆😆😆 Kennedy is a bowl of quack words

I know Mary. I didn’t think they’d be a time I’d see this
Health professionals sounded the alarm of the disaster that was Kennedy last year. Don't say you were not warned. I knew this was going to happen.
😆😆
All the health professionals and organizations yelled about this last year. Also “mitochondrial challenges” is word quackery. That’s not a thing.
That's an excellent example! Similar to the antivaccine stance that people survived just fine without them during the plague.🤡
Good see that states are stepping up!
Love this added nugget of history 💗
Labor Day Holiday began in 1894. Labor unions and activists sacrificed to gain recognition of both the contributions and the mistreatment of workers at the time. Without their struggles to secure better working conditions and fair wages, we wouldn't be celebrating this weekend. Let's remember...
Love these. I enjoy seeing them live their own lives 💕
Hiiii Brenda. You too!
🧪Just like other conditions, the biology of autism is more nuanced than what he makes it out to be. Genetics plays a big part; population studies have linked a handful of environmental factors. As diagnostic tools change, incidence changes with them. Nothing is as simple or easy as he implies.
This isn't destruction of property JFC. More people need to be informed.

1/ I’m not telling anyone not to be angry. Be furious. Anger is oxygen. It keeps us alive in this fight. But don’t confuse fuel with strategy. Anger powers the engine—it doesn’t pick the target. go.bsky.app/VQBUHf8
That's why I do what I do. There is so much misinformation flying around that I feel compelled to share information & resources for others. It is important to me. I like reading what you to say, as I didn't understand some of the things on BlueSky. Thanks for adding me to your starter pack! 💙

When you oust all the experts with real life experience and install someone with a humanities degree to run it, it won't be sustained. The top officials quit because they were asked to unethically manipulate data. By the way, Jonatha and I went to grad school together :)

Good Afternoon #BreakfastCrew #BlueCrew I just spend the morning cleaning. Hoping to enjoy the day!
Excellent and accurate thread.
I’m looking forward to hearing more about it.!
Good Afternoon Ray! Punk-Ass is the word.
Same. I never got on Twitter. I love this platform! There is nothing wrong with celebrating smaller joys. I was happy when I hit 10k. 20k is coming up for me!
Congratulations Friend! Sending hugs from Michigan 💙
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS. ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out. Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.
lol It’s hard to keep your head in the sand though
More blue states need to step up. It’s not about the voters anymore

Americans may not feel the full impact of the politicization of science until later. Jay Bhattacharya is denying the fact that cancer research grants have been cut. Kennedy installed a tech investor w/ a humanities degree to run the CDC. The damage is irreversible. A good thread 🧪🧵
For those unaware: RFK Jr has been spreading anti-vaccine lies for over 20 years. This is not new. This is not “since COVID.” He wrote a 2005 article in Rolling Stone blaming vaccine ingredients for autism. Be aware of this history. He is a millionaire because of the disinformation HE created.
A stark warning "The CDC you knew is over...Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” Kennedy has politicized science to a point that the CDC is no longer a respected institution that relies on gold standard science. 🧪 www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
That’s not surprising.
You are welcome ❤️
And I have friends who have no clue.
