See the doctor listening respectfully to Stephen Miller? That’s Jay Bhattacharya. That’s who these @princetonupress.bsky.social authors praised. And they have no comment on any of it. They’ve vanished.

@joho.bsky.social doesn't hold back on challenging Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee and their over-the-top endorsement of Jay Bhattacharya. From "In COVID's Wake" to this doozy of a piece, he was a hero to them. Now? Crickets. sciencebasedmedicine.org/macedo-lee-m...

Doctors who openly campaigned for Trump should play videos like this as part of their disclaimers.

Wow -- RNC video: "On June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump." It only gets more unhinged and culty from there.

See. This was the problem either treating MAHA doctors as good faith actors. They legitimized Kennedy. And Kennedy is both batshit and dangerous. And anyone who legitimized MAHA doctors legitimized Kennedy. See.

Summer 2020, We Want Them Infected superstar Dr. Scott Atlas cheerleads the mass infection of unvaccinated youth claiming this will lead to herd immunity. He now denies he said this.

Because many people fundamentally view MAHA adherents as children, without agency. As such, we must work to soothe their hurt feelings, while they have no obligation to reflect or change themselves. Discussed here.

"The actual harsh truth about MAHA is that it is an anti-vaxx, anti-science, pro-diarrhea conspiracy movement. It cloaks its arguments in abstractions about "big pharma" and "free speech" to generate

Why are people still telling scientists that we need to compromise with MAHA? How about if we tell MAHA that they can come to the table when they respect the scientific method instead.

We funded grants on public trust, but Bhattacharya cut them because they were on vaccine hesitancy. Now he wants to pat himself on the back for his "innovation." Hypocrite.

Can someone ask MAHA defense attorney Eric Widera what has been his favorite part of Bhattacharyas leadership thus far? It is the purges, censorship, or canceled clinical trials?

"Prasad was mercurial, pushing at least 7 subordinates out of their positions & repeatedly overruling career scientists to limit vaccine availability. Hundreds of workers left CBER during his tenure as morale slumped & he earned the ire of the rare disease community, rejecting at least five drugs."

But minimizers pretend to be good & on the right side of history until they backstab by saying something like, "Oh, JayB, Makary & Oz are reasonable", or “Oh, this new ACIP is mostly reasonable.” By calling the badness reasonable, they legitimize the badness.

When Trump & RFK Jr hired the Great Barrington Declaration dudes to run the federal health agencies or be their advisers, they promised to boost trust in these agencies I'm sure you're shocked (shocked!) to see that trust fell under their kooky MAHA/MAGA watch www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

Doctors here are more trusted than this toddler.

Peter Morley ♿️@petermorley.bsky.social · 15h ago

I thought that most of us had lost confidence in public health leaders, the moment RFK Jr was appointed. Honestly, I think this is a good thing during this administration. People should research health information themselves. 🙏💜 www.cidrap.umn.edu/public-healt...

This is also MAHA. They don’t get to be selective about they did and didn’t do. They own this as much as they own babies in Pennsylvania dying from measles.

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

Measles continues to spread and trust in MAHA continues to collapse. New discussion.
