Did RFK Jr. try to get a major vaccine safety study withdrawn?

Yes—he publicly demanded the Annals of Internal Medicine retract Denmark’s landmark aluminum-in-vaccines study.
Here’s what happened 🧵 2/ 📄 The study (July 2025) analyzed 1.2M Danish children over 24 years.

✅ Found no link between aluminum-containing vaccines and autoimmune, allergic, or neurodevelopmental disorders.

Steve Kirsch says 9 peer-reviewed studies prove unvaccinated people are healthier than vaccinated ones.

The problem?

The studies don’t prove that at all.

Let’s dig in. 🧵 2/ Many of these “vaxxed vs unvaxxed” studies use self-selected homeschool populations.

If your goal is unbiased science, why start with a group that’s 10× less likely to vaccinate?

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE): Dengue Fever vs COVID-19 Vaccines 1/ What is ADE?
Antibody-dependent enhancement occurs when antibodies bind a virus but fail to neutralize it, instead helping it infect immune cells and worsening disease.

🧵 THREAD: RFK Jr. Cancels $500M in mRNA Vaccine Projects — What Happens Now? 1/ 🚨 On Aug 5, 2025, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced the cancellation of 22 mRNA vaccine projects, worth ~$500M.

These targeted COVID-19, flu, RSV, and bird flu.

Did Pfizer “bait and switch” its COVID vaccine manufacturing process and leave dangerous DNA behind, as Kevin McKernan claims?

Let’s walk through what’s real, what’s misleading, and what’s just flat-out wrong. 🧬 1/ Kevin McKernan alleges Pfizer committed fraud by running its clinical trials using one process (Process 1), then switching to a different one (Process 2) for commercial production—without retrial. He calls this a “bait and switch.” Is that true?

No. 🧵

🧵 What Trump Said About COVID: Public vs. Private

From January to Election Day 2020, Trump told the public COVID-19 was no big deal—while privately admitting it was deadly, airborne, and serious. Here’s the record.

🔽 Thread 1/ Jan 22, 2020 (Public, CNBC)
“We have it totally under control… It’s going to be just fine.”

Let me think about? A viral meme lists “10 reasons” COVID-19 must be a lab leak. Let’s walk through the science, show what would truly settle the debate, and why we still don’t have the smoking gun. 🧵👇

🚫 “Virology is circular logic!”
That’s the new claim from a Substack post arguing that all virus tests are just echo chambers of cell culture.

Let’s walk through why that’s wrong—and how modern virology actually works.
🧵👇 2/ 🧫 Yes, viruses are sometimes isolated using cell cultures. That’s how we grow them for research.

But does that mean every test depends solely on culture?

Nope. That’s a misunderstanding of how diagnostics are developed and validated.

1/ Fluoride has been added to public water supplies since the 1940s to prevent tooth decay.

It’s one of the great public health success stories.

But critics say it causes brain damage and brittle bones.

Let’s separate science from spin. 🧵

🧵 THREAD

Did scientists just discover two gut bacteria that cause multiple sclerosis (MS)?

New research points to Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium as potential triggers.

Let’s break down what this means—and how it fits into what we already know about MS.

🔬🧠👇 1. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own central nervous system—specifically the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers.

It leads to progressive disability, but the cause of MS has long been a mystery.

THREAD 🧵
Steve Kirsch just claimed the American Academy of Pediatrics admitted COVID vaccines are unsafe for kids.

That’s false—and dangerously misleading.

Let’s walk through what the AAP actually said, what the science shows, and what RFK Jr. is planning for your children. 1/ Kirsch’s post falsely claims:

“The AAP admitted the vaccines are unsafe.”
Reality:
📌 The AAP filed a legal response to a lawsuit brought by RFK Jr.’s group.
📌 That response says: “We don’t make CDC policy.”
📌 That’s not an admission. It’s a jurisdictional fact.

THREAD:
Debunking “The Ethical Skeptic’s” Claims About Child Mortality and mRNA Vaccines

Let’s break down what this graph actually shows… and what it doesn’t.
👇 1/ The Ethical Skeptic is back—this time suggesting that children born after their mothers received mRNA vaccines are dying at higher rates.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s really going on.

🚨 Disinformation in public health isn’t new.

From plague cures to polio denial to COVID conspiracies—falsehoods have always cost lives.

Here’s a timeline of how disinformation has confused the public and led to preventable death.
#ScienceMatters #History 2/ 1918 Spanish Flu

📉 In 1918, U.S. officials downplayed the flu to preserve morale during WWI.
Headlines read: “The Flu is Nothing.”
Truth was sacrificed for patriotism.
The death toll soared.

1/ After years of watching the spread of disinformation on this platform, here’s what I’ve learned…
🧵 2/It doesn’t come all at once. It arrives in waves.
•First, it was anti-vaccine rhetoric
•Then came germ theory denial
•Miracle cures followed (ivermectin, HCQ, methylene blue)
•Now it’s VAERS abuse, spike protein panic, and “shedding”

Each wave overlaps the last.

THREAD 🧵 | Did HPV vaccines fail? Not quite. Let’s examine what this small German study actually shows—and more importantly, what it doesn’t.
📄 Fischer et al., 2020 | Eur J Gynaecol Oncol 1/A 2020 study from a dysplasia referral center in Germany reported 19 cases of high-grade cervical lesions (HSIL) in women who had previously received an HPV vaccine.

Antivaxxers cite it as proof that “HPV vaccines don’t work.”

Here’s why that’s wrong.

🚨 THREAD: Since Nov 2024, Children’s Health Defense has ramped up its fear campaign about vaccines—relying heavily on VAERS.

Here’s what they’re doing, why it’s dishonest, and what you need to know to stop it.
#Disinformation #Vaccines #VAERS 1. What is CHD doing?
Since late 2024, CHD has released dozens of articles claiming mass injury and death from vaccines.

Their main proof? VAERS.

But VAERS isn’t what they say it is.

@CombatingAutism 🧬 “If autism is genetic, why don’t the parents show symptoms?”

Because genetic risk isn’t always inherited simply or visibly.

Let’s break it down with the science. @CombatingAutism 1/ Autism is highly heritable.
Twin studies estimate 64–91% of the variability in autism is explained by genetics.

📖 Tick et al., 2016 – JAMA Psychiatry

A pregnant woman in Tennessee was allegedly denied prenatal care—because she’s not married. The doctor cited the new “Medical Ethics Defense Act.” Let’s unpack what happened, what this law allows, and why it matters. 🧵 1/ On July 20, Nashville Banner reported that a 35-year-old woman in Jonesborough, TN, was refused prenatal care. Why? She was unmarried. The OB/GYN allegedly said providing care “would go against her beliefs.”

Spoiler: the vaccines were safe, highly effective, and kept units mission-ready.

Let’s dive. 2/ Mandate impact: after SECDEF’s 24 Aug 2021 order, full-series coverage soared from < 70 % to > 95 % across the force, erasing rank & race gaps and restoring deployability.

🧵 Sarcopenia: Why it Matters
Sarcopenia is age-related loss of muscle mass and strength.
It affects mobility, independence, metabolism—and even lifespan.
This 3-part thread explains:
1.What it is
2.What works
3.What to do at each age 2/ 📌 What is Sarcopenia?
Loss of muscle mass + function with age.
• Begins as early as age 30
• Accelerates after 50
• Affects up to 50% >80 years old
