RFK Jr. Turns the Food Pyramid on Its Head

The antivax activist who is now our Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has turned his attention briefly from vaccines to food, all in order to promote the consumption of more meat and dairy products. Will this "make America healthy again"? I think you know the answer.

Turbo cancer?

And so 2026 begins…with a resurrection of the myth that COVID vaccines cause “turbo cancers”

I had hoped to let this cup pass, but, after a week and a half, I found that I couldn't. Eminent oncologist and cancer researcher Dr. Wafik El-Deiry is back and doubling down on the unproven claim that COVID vaccines cause "turbo cancers," this time with an added dash of conspiracy theory. What happened to him?

As we have been warning for months that he would do, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is coming to take away your vaccines. His opening gambit is to remake our system in the image of Denmark, but he won't stop there.

It’s a madhouse! Public health under the heirs to Lysenko (and Dr. Zaius) in 2025

As 2025 barrels towards its depressing conclusion, I look back at the damage federal science and medicine have sustained thus far under Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. through the lens of a classic film. Truly, it's a madhouse, in which our federal science apparatus is run by Lysenko's heirs.

“Best practices”: The buzzword that the Trump administration will use to eliminate as many vaccines as RFK Jr. can

The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met last week, eliminating the universal recommendation for the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine.

Read the Comments: “Just Do the Opposite of Whatever This Administration Recommends!”

The CDC is lying to you about vaccines and autism

The CDC webpage about vaccines and autism now misrepresents the science and lies to the public about vaccines and autism. It's just part of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s continuing war on vaccines.
