Weaponizing the FDA Against Vaccines By rejecting Moderna’s application for an mRNA influenza vaccine, RFK Jr.’s FDA is advancing his anti-vaccine agenda.

Weaponizing the FDA Against Vaccines: "Weaponizing the FDA to make arbitrary, unsupportable decisions will only discourage companies from pursuing newer, better vaccines. Which, sadly, appears to be the goal." via @pauloffit.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

Oh my God, this is simply not possible.

It cannot be possible.

The NIH director, the DIRECTOR, does not know what actually happens at the NIH. Like, what?!

As an ID physician who was on the frontlines of #COVID from the beginning and saw countless people die of this disease I find this take from Bhattacharya to be insulting.

It disrespects every healthworker who risked their life and the patients who died.

If you can’t see the links between the people in this photo and ICE kidnapping, torturing, & murdering people, then you really are not paying attention at all.

At all.

This bullshit always makes my blood boil. It’s actually not illegal to organize a protest! Protests are rarely spontaneous! Someone has to make them happen. Sometimes those people also provide messaging, and did you know printing is really easily accessible now??

Please keep in mind this number does not include people who died in ICE detention. Last year 32 died in custody, the most in decades. This year there have already been 5 deaths-- including one ruled a homicide

DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.

That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda β€” when not outright lies.

They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.
