Professor Retsef Levi, MIT Expert in Analytics, Risk Management, Health Systems, Food & Agriculture Systems, Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management
Cambridge, MA
Joined January 2023
One of the most frustrating parts of running a university research lab was how little effort went into assessing whether professors were actually training people well. There were no meaningful evaluations of mentorship or student growth — only public displays of virtue, like

On November 2021 I participated in a personally transformational meeting organized by Senator @RonJohnsonWI with COVID vaccine injured. It ironed my commitment to do whatever I can for those who were injured & gaslighted. Thanks for the chance to speak to @annmforti!

“We have to look to ourselves as a society in the mirror and think, “How did we make those kind of actions …where we were so lacking empathy, basic ethics, basic humanity, to be so cruel to these people…we need to give them hope.”” ~ @RetsefL - Current Chair of the ACIP

In this episode of the @React19org podcast, @RetsefL , current Chair of the ACIP COVID-19 Immunization Workgroup, discusses the urgent need for greater recognition, diagnosis, and care for individuals injured by COVID-19 vaccines. He highlights gaps in current surveillance, the

Impressed by the attention to detail in discussing monoclonal antibody treatments for RSV by new ACIP member, @RetsefL. I didn’t like the way another committee member dismissed his concerns citing settled decision making rather than using the data to dissuade his concerns.

Interesting observations by @LocasaleLab
MIT’s decision to reject the Compact for Academic Excellence, despite claiming to already uphold its core principles, invites speculation about what’s really driving university leadership. If the Compact simply reaffirms commitments to merit, transparency, and accountability -

Unfortunately, @LocasaleLab is correct….
BREAKING: MIT officially rejects the Trump administration’s Compact for Academic Excellence I received this alumni email. It is a masterclass in prevarication from President Sally Kornbluth. In the life sciences, where I’m most familiar, hiring over the past decade have

1/3 Hey @sophie_gardnerj & @kelhoops, you platformed known pharma troll Dorit Reiss as a "vaccine expert." She's not. Reiss has been caught lying about vaccine injury in the past and serves as a Pfizer cheerleader. She actually pushed for COVID mandates the vax and got buried.

🚨Politico's false narrative on Kennedy and Covid shots in pregnancy @politico claims the CDC and its advisers worked to quietly “undo” @SecKennedy's decision on Covid shots in pregnancy — but once again, political bias got in the way of the facts. LINK 👇👇 @RetsefL

Politico asserted that @CDCgov & ACIP worked to "soften" an earlier decision by @SecKennedy to stop recommending that pregnant women get the shots.” But ACIP member @RetsefL says the article is pure fiction. https://t.co/mVe75Rr9mM

Amen, shouts the choir!
Some are deeply concerned by the ‘revolutionary’ idea that people will think for themselves and make choices on their own body in consultation with their medical provider because it will be ‘confusing’….. Be worried of people who suggest you can’t think for yourself..

This is what’s now labeled the “anti-vax” position - a call for transparency, informed consent, and continued attention to safety. There’s nothing radical about it. Dr. Levi’s statement simply argues that individual risk should be part of public health decisions and that
The decision of the Deputy Secretary @HHS_Jim to adopt the ACIP recommendation of individual-decision making for the COVID vaccines brings back principles of personalized, modern & ethical medicine to public health vaccination policies! I personally hope that @CDCgov will

Thank you, @HHS_Jim, for your leadership in restoring informed consent.
Informed consent is back. CDC’s 2022 blanket recommendation for perpetual COVID-19 boosters deterred health care providers from talking about the risks and benefits of vaccination for the individual patient or parent. That changes now. Last week, I approved ACIP’s new
