Non evidence based recommendations from Trump’s CDC will result in deaths. The chaos of getting CDC workers to leave, and shutting down programs, and giving directives where the verbal and written directives don’t match, and restarting things when it is suddenly realized they are needed…is not good! Bad.

“What about his promise to maintain the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes? Nope. RFK Jr. fired all of the vaccine experts and loaded up the committee with anti-vaccination appointees.”

“Millions, perhaps even billions of us who got ourselves vaccinated against COVID-19 should be dead by now, or if not yet, very soon. For years, prominent wellness influencers and other internet personalities have predicted that mRNA vaccines will lead to mass casualties. Infectious disease clinician Neil Stone has helpfully (and amusingly) compiled a number of such dire predictions.”

The Supreme Court has used a doubtful gun study funded by a Second Amendment advocacy group to justify its decisions. The author has not published the study, has not shared the data, refuses to talk to anyone about it, refuses to testify in court about it, and one lawsuit dropped the reference to the study because he refused to testify. How the survey was represented was inaccurate compared to the actual survey questions.

Radiation below a certain level is harmless toward humans. It may even be helpful as the body ramps up to heal the radiation damage.

The studies that best control for confounding factors do not find a link between Tylenol and autism.
Among all studies, some find a negative correlation, some find no correlation, and many find a very small positive correlation, but in the best studies, this is not found, indicating there isn’t a causal link.
Tylenol helps control fever, which can prevent fever-caused health issues with the baby.

“Recall that Kennedy infamously asserted back in December 2021 that the COVID-19 vaccine “is the deadliest vaccine ever made.” Reams of subsequent research have found that COVID-19 vaccines are in fact generally safe and effective.
…
In June, Kennedy falsely stated that the Centers for Disease Control had suppressed a hepatitis B vaccine study in newborns in 1999 that found “an 1,135 percent elevated risk of autism among the vaccinated children.” In fact, the researchers cited by Kennedy reported in 2003 that they found “no consistent significant associations” between the vaccine and autism. Infants infected with hepatitis B via mother-to-child at birth or during their first year of life have a 90 percent chance of developing a chronic infection—of which 15 to 25 percent will eventually die of cirrhosis or liver cancer. Since vaccination for all newborns was approved in 1991, infections with the hepatitis B virus in children and teens have decreased by 99 percent.
…
Kennedy has commended Coca-Cola and Tyson Foods for replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar. One problem: There is essentially no nutritional difference between them. That said, health-conscious Americans would do well to heed Kennedy’s call to consume less sugar.
As for food dyes, as recently as 2023 the FDA concluded that the totality of the evidence showed no adverse effects when children consume foods containing color additives. That was then, but this is now. In April, Kennedy denounced synthetic food dyes as “poisonous compounds.” At the time, he laid out a timeline for the food industry to transition to natural alternatives by 2027.
…
a recent meta-analysis found that drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams per liter of fluoride slightly lowers children’s I.Q. scores. Keep in mind, though, that the recommended level of fluoridation in the U.S. is 0.7 milligrams per liter. A 2023 meta-analysis found that the level of fluoride in community water systems “is not associated with lower IQ scores.
…
As the scope of Kennedy’s initiatives show, his agency’s vast powers allow him to inflict his peculiar obsessions on the health and lives of Americans—for good and for ill.”

“a detailed examination by POLITICO’s E&E News found that the report obscures key facts about climate change. It relies on outdated studies and cites analyses that were not peer reviewed. It cherry-picks mainstream research and omits context. It revives debunked arguments in an attempt to cast doubt on long-term warming trends.
The result is a report that promotes ideas starkly at odds with the vast majority of scientific evidence. That prompted a remarkable response from the National Academies last week that stated, “Human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases and resulting climate change harm the health of people in the United States.””

RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about autism and misinforming the public.
RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about vaccines and misinforming the public.
RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about medicine and disease, misinforming the public.
RFK chose two less rigorous studies to justify his advice on Tylenol while ignoring larger, more rigorous studies that find no association between Tylenol and ADHD or autism.
Fever can harm the unborn child and even cause miscarriage. Tylenol can prevent that by lowering the fever. Because Trump told women to not take Tylenol, some women won’t take it when they should, with bad consequences.

The president of the United States rambled falsities about important health science. Not good. Bad.
I’m all for a serious evidence-based discussion on the risks and benefits of different medications, but the nation’s leader ad libbing bullshit is not helpful.
