The President's absurd characterizations don’t match what's happening here. There's no emergency that warrants deploying troops in Chicago. He’s insulting Chicagoans by calling our home a hellhole – and anyone who takes his word at face value is insulting them, too.

NINE former CDC Directors spanning every administration from Carter to Trump, have issued a rare public rebuke of RFK Jr., warning of the harm his rhetoric and attacks on public health is doing. Their message: this is a time to rally to protect the health of every American.

I feel like medical professionals in the US are not doing enough to stand up to the madness led by RFK Jr that is destroying US health policy I'm not even American. I shouldn't be doing it.

RFK Jr. is pushing out scientific leaders who refuse to act as a rubber stamp for his dangerous conspiracy theories and manipulate science. Today, I am calling for a bipartisan congressional investigation into the firing of CDC Director Dr. Monarez.

Americans need to understand what’s happening tonight at the CDC. This was an agency held together over the last 7 months by scientists with decades of experience in public health, who hung on despite a relentless assault on science-based policy by RFK and Trump. There is a

Sometimes sports transcends the game. DeVito was undrafted and played HS football 1 town away. He was thrust into a starting roll while living with his parents while other starters were making millions. He played his hardest and toughest. Made all of us New Jerseyans proud. ❤️🤛

The Giants are releasing Tommy DeVito, per source. He was odd-man out from start of summer with Giants adding 3 QBs. DeVito was a great story as an undrafted free agent. He proved he can play. Went 3-5 as a starter. Has 8 TDs and 3 INTs in 12 career games. He'll have options.

It's ridiculous this was even necessary. The Annals of Internal Medicine has rejected HHS Secretary RFK Jr's demand to retract the Danish vaccine study of 1.2 million children, finding 'no evidence of scientific misconduct.' (1/2) https://t.co/2Ljg7hEozJ"

Also “inherent” in being a doctor is doing no harm. No one seems to argue about the Hippocratic oath tho. Explaining risks involved with pci vs cto; or TAVR v. SAVR is incumbent on the operator. Making decision WITH patients knowledge of those risks= shared decision making.

One more thing: shared decision making has been a huge net negative in real life. We did not need this concept as it is inherent in proper doctoring. Always was.

Today Sec Kennedy tells the American public that doctors make medical decisions based on what makes them the most money. Another day, another insult. And one other thing. Pediatricians vaccinate kids not because it makes them rich. They vaccinate kids because they don’t want them

Medical decisions should be made based on one thing: the wellbeing of the person—never on a financial bonus or a government mandate. Doctors deserve the freedom to use their training, follow the science, and speak the truth without fear of punishment.

I don’t know a single doctor who went to med school to keep people sick. This is remarkably ignorant and frankly insulting. Despite his bravado, the HHS Sec knows remarkably little about health and healthcare in the US.

@SecKennedy The idea that mRNA vaccines "failed" because they didn't block all respiratory infections reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of immunology. No vaccine for flu, RSV, or COVID has ever done that. The goal is preventing severe disease, and mRNA vaccines delivered. They saved

RFK: We need to study the safety of aluminium in vaccines! Denmark: Here is a study of *all children* born in a 23 year period, finding no safety issues from aluminium in vaccines RFK: Not THAT kind of study! I meant one that supports what I already decided to believe!

The pharma-funded mainstream media has been touting a recent study of the Danish health registry—Andersson, et al.—which purports to show that aluminum-containing vaccines are not associated with neurological injuries including autism and Asperger's. In the accompanying article,
