RFK Jr. Wants You To Know He’s Personally Responsible for Anti-Vax Misinformation on CDC Website. He told the New York Times there’s no proof that vaccines don’t cause autism, which is a lie. This is a bold claim, and it’s one that should raise immediate red flags. Essentially, we’re being told that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking direct credit for pushing false information about vaccines and autism, going so far as to suggest that the CDC’s website, an institution dedicated to public health, is complicit in spreading this misinformation. This assertion, particularly when paired with his statement about the lack of definitive proof against a vaccine-autism link, is a dangerous and disingenuous strategy.… Continue reading

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated there is not sufficient evidence to definitively link Tylenol to autism, softening previous warnings made by himself and President Trump. While urging pregnant women to use the medication only when essential, Kennedy acknowledged the suggestive nature of the potential link and recommended a cautious approach. These updated remarks follow a previous press conference in September where warnings were issued without concrete scientific backing. Kennedy has also linked circumcision and autism, and the remarks mirror those made by the FDA concerning acetaminophen use during pregnancy.

After initially promoting a link between Tylenol use and autism, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has since admitted there is insufficient evidence to support the claim. Despite this admission, former President Donald Trump continues to publicly discourage Tylenol use during pregnancy, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Tylenol’s manufacturers based on the discredited theory. This shift in Kennedy’s stance calls into question the legitimacy of the initial claims and their potential impact on public health, especially given the widespread reach of Trump and Kennedy’s statements.

Recent reports indicate that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary, plans to issue new dietary guidelines encouraging increased consumption of saturated fats, which goes against decades of established recommendations. While some researchers suggest that saturated fats may be less harmful than previously believed, they caution against promoting increased intake, citing the potential for adverse health effects. Experts highlight the importance of focusing on overall food choices rather than individual nutrients and warn that such a shift in guidelines, deviating from established protocols, could impact school lunches and military rations, potentially increasing heart disease risk. This approach has also been criticized as cherry-picking research and not being based on comprehensive evidence.

Trump Administration Is Bringing Back Scores of C.D.C. Experts Fired in Error
So, let’s talk about this whole situation where the Trump administration is bringing back scores of CDC experts, allegedly fired in error. It’s a wild ride, isn’t it? It’s hard to ignore the overwhelming sentiment that the whole thing is a colossal mess of incompetence and maybe even something worse. It’s a situation that is, in a word, a cluster.
This wasn’t just a simple mix-up. It sounds like a significant number of CDC employees were given the boot, and now, after some apparent scrambling, the administration is trying to undo some of the damage.… Continue reading
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. initiated mass layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services, including over 1,000 scientists and health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce. This move was met with sharp criticism from former CDC officials who expressed concerns about the impact on disease outbreak responses and public health functions. However, after the article’s publication, many of the fired employees began receiving notices that their terminations were rescinded, attributed to a “miscoding error” by an HHS official. Despite the reinstatement, the damage done is already significant, as several high-level positions were cut, and the agency’s ability to respond to public health emergencies is in jeopardy.
