🩺The menopause moment: progress or overcorrection?
LINK 👇
As the FDA lifts its black box warning on HRT, women are now being urged to begin treatment within ten years of menopause onset. Is this shift grounded in evidence or emotion?

When @US_FDA announced it was removing the black box warning from hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the media response was nothing short of euphoric.

Morning shows ran breathless coverage, and one female host even admitted she became “teary” after hearing the news. But is it a long-overdue correction or another swing of the pendulum from one extreme to the other?

We can’t fight bad science with worse science.
The 2002 WHI study is blamed for the collapse in HRT use. It was stopped early after investigators found a higher risk of breast cancer in women taking combined oestrogen–progestin therapy.

The study was not perfect — but you can’t counter its limitations with weaker evidence.

🧵The Weaponisation of Science
"The scientific process has been hollowed out by financial incentives, regulatory capture, and institutional cowardice."

CENSORSHIP
I first saw this clearly in 2013 while investigating statins. My ABC documentary questioned whether statins were being overprescribed, and it unleashed a media firestorm.

The episode was pulled after industry outrage, and I was publicly attacked. None of the critics engaged with the evidence — they simply sought to silence it.

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
The raw data underpinning statin trials are held exclusively by the Oxford-based Cholesterol Treatment Trialists (CTT) & have been released because of a legally binding agreement to block third-party access.
Hence despite millions of people taking statins daily, there has never been an independent verification of the statin trials. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29353811/

🔥Inside the Henry Ford vaccine controversy
The Henry Ford Health study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children was never published—until Congress forced it into the open.
Here’s what it found, and why it matters.

The lead investigator, Dr Marcus Zervos, is a veteran infectious-disease specialist. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he was a regular on local news programs, promoting vaccination and defending public-health mandates.
His involvement gave the project an establishment credibility rarely seen in vaccine-safety research.

Completed in 2020, the study was unpublished until it was introduced into the congressional record on 9 September 2025 during a Senate hearing.
The Henry Ford team found vaccinated children had far higher rates of chronic disease than their unvaccinated peers.

🚨The HPV vaccine
A Scottish study was billed as ‘proof’ the HPV vaccine can wipe out cervical cancer. But a new analysis of the raw data shows it was nothing more than a statistical illusion.

In January 2024, headlines erupted worldwide.
“No cervical cancer cases in HPV-vaccinated women,” declared @BBCNews, hailing a landmark breakthrough from Scotland.
A study in the @JNCI_Now claimed that girls who received the HPV vaccine at age 12 or 13 had not developed a single case of cervical cancer.

Two Australian researchers have reanalysed the raw data used in the Scottish study. Most women in the “zero cases” group were still under 25 when the study on HPV vaccine ended.

But cervical cancer is rarely seen in women under 25 (average age of diagnosis is ~50) - it takes decades to develop after infection. So of course there were no cancer cases in that cohort. These women were simply too young. Vaccine or no vaccine, the outcome was entirely predictable. @DrSuzanneH7

🚨The Nature of hypocrisy: pharma-funded journals smearing independent voices
@Nature alleges that I endanger public health, but it is the journal — steeped in pharma money — that ought to be looking inward.

@TheChiefNerd @DowdEdward @weldeiry
@SciGuardians @Kevin_McKernan @MdBreathe

According to the email, I was being lumped into an “anti-vaccine movement,” accused of “endangering public health,” and “profiting from disseminating misinformation.”

No evidence was provided. No articles were cited. No definition of “anti-vaccine” was offered. No complainants were named. Just blanket accusations intended as a character assassination.

Conflict of interest at the heart of @Nature
This journal that publishes vaccine research while pocketing revenue from pharmaceutical advertising and sponsored content from vaccine manufacturers.

To then assign an editor to target independent journalists who scrutinise that very industry is a glaring conflict of interest.

On its own website, Nature boasts of partnerships with @JanssenUS, @Merck , @AstraZeneca and others, dressing them up as “pioneering collaborations” to “support science.” It even publishes paid advertising features.

🚨Moderna misled ACIP on key safety studies
Biodistribution studies were never done on the Covid mRNA vaccine that people actually received — and when confronted with questions, Moderna lied to CDC’s vaccine advisers.

@HHS_Jim

Last week, two members of ACIP’s Covid vaccine work group, Prof Charlotte Kuperwasser & Prof Wafik El-Deiry, presented evidence @moderna_tx did not use its commercial vaccine for key biodistribution studies.

ACIP member, Dr Evelyn Griffin asked @moderna_tx if it used the commercial vaccine for biodistribution testing it submitted to the FDA.

“Is it the exact same mRNA that was used in the vaccination product — that I received, for example?”

“Yes, yes it is,” replied Moderna rep, Dr Darin Edwards
