There’s a statewide recall of raw milk here in PA because it’s contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni.

Campylobacteriosis cases are linked to Meadow View Jerseys Dairy milk.

If only there was a way to avoid illness like that…

1/
I never thought I’d live in a world where people were opposed to heating milk to 165F for 15 seconds to kill disease-causing microbes because some podcast bro told them so…yet here we are.

Poor Louis.
He must be rolling in his grave.

2/
Did you know Campylobacter infections are ALSO the most common cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)?

It’s not the vaccines.

1 in every 1,000 people with Campylobacter infection develop GBS. Every year, ~1,500 people get Guillain-Barré from Campylobacter.

3/
Almost like… we should maybe stop letting wellness influencers make all of us less healthy?

RFK Jr. has built a multi-million dollar empire manufacturing vaccine distrust.

His organization, Children's Health Defense, raked in over $16 million in 2021 alone—money made by terrifying parents, undermining public health, & selling false solutions.

1/
This isn't advocacy; it's his business model.

Every vaccine controversy he fabricates, every conspiracy he spreads, every scientific institution he attacks brings in donations, book sales, legal fees, speaking fees, & wellness partnerships.

2/
The erosion of trust in vaccines, health agencies, and scientific institutions is an intentional, well-funded, and coordinated disinformation campaign — with RFK & Children’s Health Defense leading the charge.

FDA-approved vaccines had randomized, placebo-controlled trials.

Polio?
Measles, mumps, rubella?
Haemophilus influenzae B?
Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis?
Meningococcus?
Varicella?
Pneumococcus?
Rotavirus?
RSV?
Hep B?
Influenza?
HPV?
COVID-19?
Shingles?

YEP.

A thread🧵

1/
Development & testing of ANY new regulated medicine involves placebo-controlled clinical trials.

That’s true for vaccines.
Cancer medicines. Bronchodilators. Analgesics. Antibiotics. Diuretics. Immunomodulators.

Small molecules. Biologics.

All of them.

2/
ONCE a medicine is FDA-approved after said clinical trials, the medicine is available.

SOMETIMES there are updates to a medicine:

Adding enteric coating.
Changing manufacturing facility.
Making a generic version.
Altering a stabilizer.
Updating virus strain in a vaccine.

Banning synthetic food dyes won’t improve health—it may worsen it.

FOOD DYES AREN’T THE ISSUE.

1️⃣ they’re safe at ingested levels.
2️⃣ they’re not banned in other countries.
3️⃣ they’ll be replaced with other dyes that aren’t safer, as stable, or as studied.

1/
4️⃣ the process to replace them and the replacements will increase food costs.
5️⃣ it’s NOT addressing issues ACTUALLY related to diet & health: food equity, food deserts, healthcare access, wage inequality.

2/
These food dyes aren’t banned in other countries: 🔗

An Easter thought:

Those who shout the loudest about being “good Christians” are often the ones acting in complete opposition to what Jesus lived and died for.

That’s especially true when it comes to science and public health.

A thread🧵

1/
Jesus healed the sick, fed the poor, supported the marginalized.

Modern “Christians” deny healthcare for all, refuse vaccines, reject science, hoard resources, & spread disinformation.

2/
Public health is LITERALLY “love thy neighbor” applied:

Vaccines protect your communities.
Clean (and fluoridated) water prevents sickness.

Rejecting these isn’t just selfish, it’s un-Christlike.

Autism is not a disease.
Autism is not an epidemic.
Autism is a multifactorial genetic-based neurological condition.
And it’s not caused by vaccines or nebulous “environmental toxins.”

A thread 👇🏻

1/
Prevalence has increased GLOBALLY as a result of better recognition, diagnosing criteria, and awareness.

RFK Jr. has made millions of dollars spreading ableist lies for decades. His recent comments and power within HHS underscore how dangerous he is to humanity.

2/
RFK Jr. doesn’t know what the term epidemic means.

An epidemic: a sudden increase in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected.

Generally this applies to communicable diseases, but certain types of non-communicable health issues can qualify.

EVERYONE wants safe & healthy foods.

That’s why scientists do extensive research & development in food production & safety: farming, preservation, formulation.

It ISN’T done by wellness influencers & anti-science orgs like Moms Across America & Environmental Working Group.

1/
RFK Jr’s dismantling of the FDA yesterday will make foods LESS safe, LESS healthy, and LESS monitored.

MAHA and RFK Jr want the OPPOSITE of health and safety.

Red dye 3 — or other regulated food dyes (that aren’t banned in other countries, FYI) — isn’t harming health.

2/
Inaccessibility to whole foods like fruits & vegetables harms health.

Scaring people about safe farming methods & trace (& safe) levels of regulated pesticides (essential to grow YOUR food, btw), harms health.

Foodborne illness from lack of food inspections harms health.
