I have many stories & feelings about Harvard after 15 years. Once upon a time when Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes came to receive an award, I confronted & accused her of scientific fraud. I was reprimanded privately after. The rest is history. H logo visible in my 2015 photo below

Exactly the quackery-pushing person you’d expect Trump/RFK Jr to name as CDC acting director.

Help explain to me—why does a guy who is always begging for the Nobel PEACE PRIZE want to rename his department of defense as the DEPARTMENT OF WAR?.

The new acting CDC director is RFK Jr’s right hand man. Just great. White House taps top RFK Jr. deputy as acting CDC director.The selection of Jim O’Neill reflects Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s influence as he seeks to remake federal vaccine policy.

The decision comes a day after Trump fired Susan Monarez, the Senate-confirmed CDC director, prompting a series of resignations of other top officials there.

So what did fired CDC director do wrong? Someone tell them that “Alignment with Trump administration’s mission” is not the job of a CDC director—it’s to save lives.

Wow—RFK Jr’s CDC’s vaccine committee currently “lacks legitimacy” amid turmoil at the CDC, says top GOP Health Committee Senator Bill Cassidy, who is demanding the ACIP committee meeting be postponed.

Warning--Emergency Department visits for COVID are surging once again, approaching last winter's peak. I think the new variant-updated COVID vaccine should be available to everyone, instead of restricting it like RFK Jr has. And we should restart the conversation around air

Epic disaster for public health. RFK Jr is wholesale destroying science and medicine and public trust. CDC director pushed out, flood of 4 resignations of other top CDC senior leaders follow.

Monarez’s lawyers said she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives.” The White House responded that she was “not aligned with the President’s agenda.”

📍FDA has approved new variant-adapted COVID vaccine formulation (Novavax too)— but now only for those age 65+ or those “higher risk”, which is vague. Still needs CDC’s clearance—but now controlled by RFK Jr’s new dubious ACIP vaccine committee. Gift🎁 🔗.

The narrowed approval marks a shift from past recommendations for everyone ages 6 months and older to receive annual coronavirus vaccines.
