Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical.

These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months.

Removing them puts millions of lives at risk.

I enjoy seeing how we are making progress in detecting BS. Whether the tool may or may not work precisely (yet or ever), it certainly makes us think about the issue. That's progress.

Arizona is reporting a 16% increase in child fatalities from infectious disease in 2024.

About 1/3 of the deaths were from vaccine-preventable disease.

RFK Jr. wasn’t in office yet, but he’s been a leader in spreading lies for 20 years, and his influence is now wholly unchecked. Trouble ahead.
Arizona reports increase in vaccine-preventable child fatalities
Arizona’s child fatality rate dropped in 2024, but the number of children who died from vaccine-preventable diseases increased, according to the state’s annual Child Fatality Report.

OK, now there's a proper write-up: CDC Pulled Its Own Thimerosal Report, So We're Publishing It. The CDC posted credible reviews on thimerosal and the MMRV vaccine. The thimerosal report has since been taken down.

When the vaccine first came out, the US actually only vaccinated “high-risk” individuals and children born to Hepatitis-B-positive parents. And it didn’t work out well. Disease rates only declined - by ~99% - after making the vaccine a universal recommendation on Day1 www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Researchers from around the world made this happen. Bandim Health Project and RFK Jr.'s study was unethical and it is good that this has been cancelled. But the Danish government should investigate Bandim's role in exporting their anti-vax efforts globally. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

CDC’s tobacco program wasn’t eliminated to save money. Federal employee salaries are only about 4% of the Federal budget. The Office on Smoking & Health was eliminated BECAUSE our work is highly efficient and cost effective. Make no mistake that tobacco companies won today.
