I love vaccines, animals, and my wife, who set up this profile. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/we-want-them-infected/

When the crisis was so manageable that healthcare workers had to wear garbage bags because there were mass PPE shortages.

A photo is circulating online showing Mount Sinai Health System nurses using trash bags as a form of personal protective equipment (PPE) after a nursing manager died of the coronavirus on Tuesday.T…

MAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.

Covid stressed many hospitals but almost everywhere it was a manageable crisis. In the spring of 2020, our system shut down almost all outpatient and “non-emergency” medical care before we had a single covid patient, anticipating a tsunami of cases that never came. Our peak covid census was <150 in a 900 bed hospital. We had hundreds of empty beds, empty clinics, and many laid off staff and sidelined physicians who had their practices closed. Millions of routine vaccinations, cancer screenings and treatments, delayed cardiac procedures. Panicking and terrifying the public was a mistake that made a bad situation much worse.

Disinformation doctors claimed Kennedy was the only person who could prevent this.

MAHA Doctors Promised Kennedy Would be the Savior of Vaccines. What Happened Next?

It was a mistake to treat bad faith political actors as wise medical sages. Children are paying the price today.

When the Trump administration upended years of vaccine advice, it left pediatricians in a quandary. Many say they can no longer direct families to the CDC as a trusted source of info. So some are creating their OWN! 🙌 BRILLIANT!! kffhealthnews.org/public-healt...

Disinformation doctors claimed this was natural and healthy.

Is it “Natural and Healthy” When Children Get Sick With COVID?

The notion that society and children benefit when they contract vaccine-preventable diseases used to be relegated to the fringes of the anti-vaccine movement. It is now embraced by doctors at prestig

A severe bout of COVID-19 can wake up an army of dormant viruses hiding inside the body, like Epstein-Barr virus. This reactivation is linked to especially intense bouts of COVID-19 and to the development of long COVID. Published today in @nature.com:

In his vision, seniors would have flocked for colonoscopies and mammograms and the corpses of their neighbors and relatives were being forklifted into giant refrigerated trucks.

Did Lockdowns Cause Cancer?

Attempts to rewrite pandemic history must be resisted.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

Jay Bhattacharya somehow both claims to have “cured” the NIH of DEI while simultaneously building a DEI program to favor underfunded universities. And honestly the mental gymnastics boggles the mind. 🤸 open.substack.com/pub/27unihte...

Bhattacharya claims he’s directing funding to underfunded states, but his policies have the opposite effect

It’s deliberate amnesia

The Covid Amnesia Project and the Plot to Erase 2020

It’s up to those of us who experienced the pandemic in the real-world to make sure that what actually happened in 2020 isn’t deliberately erased by sheltered disinformation agents who experienced

What is wild about the revisionism is the centrist types seem to only remember how much lockdown sucked. But even if you were vaccinated, that first bout of Covid was a nightmare for most of us. How do people forget that? www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/08/the-...

I discussed the importance of this book here. Everyone who wants to understand how we got here should read it.

To Deny The Role of Social Media In Propagating Misinformation is a Form of Germ Theory Denial, Not For Pathogens, But For Ideas

MAHA disinformation agents clearly understand the power of social media, and anyone who genuinely wishes to oppose them moving forward needs to as well.

The paperback of Invisible Rulers is out today! To celebrate I dropped audio of the Twitter Space where Mike Benz first groomed Matt Taibbi into believing there'd been "mass censorship" of "hundreds of millions of tweets"—something he'd then testify before Congress. open.substack.com/pub/agentsof...

Here is my article, which caused Jesse Singal to have wild hallucinations about what happens in neurology clinics.

The Anti-Trans Obsessions of “Skeptic” Michael Shermer:  Hallucinating Imaginary Demons to Empower Actual Villains, Once Again.

I want to demonstrate to Michael Shermer that it’s possible for men like us to not talk about trans people constantly. If I can do it, so can he.

i got like, three paragraphs into this article to find the link and. my god he's such a fucking moron. mediocre white guys can build entire careers on obsessing over kids' genders and genitals, and then use their upset at being correctly identified as odious little freaks as fodder for said career.

Not lost on me that Singal is reduced to sputtering "Doesn't that make you furious?!" Because of course it's the rage that he trades in, not information. This is a bizarre piece of writing. Transphobia is a weird cult.

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 2d ago

I wrote an article that made this point. Jesse Signal got so mad, he created a bizarre fantasy version of me and declared me incompetent entirely based on his own imagination. All because I made the same point as Kevin Kruse.
