What scares Neil deGrasse Tyson most? The “unraveling of an informed democracy.” Vote November 3 so the Dems can help stop it. With three weeks left, help get out the vote any way you can. Links and tips in the first comment. Drop your own tips below too.

RFK jr. says AI will free you from the experts. So we asked the government's new AI the big one about vaccines and autism… and guess who had a hand in rewriting it with misinformation?
With FOOD EVOLUTION and SHOT IN THE ARM I have spent ten years pointing my camera at people who respect Science And democracy and those who don’t. Some of them are now running our health and sciences… badly. But hope exists in the brilliant pro-science creators in this video.
Eye. Glasses. Nose. Then... well. Nobody asked the HHS Secretary to explain government using toilet paper. He did it anyway. Laugh first. Then listen to what he's actually explaining: why he couldn't overhaul vaccine policy on day one.
He said he had nothing to do with Children's Health Defense. RFK Jr.'s answer: "I have nothing to do with it." Last week he gave that organization's keynote. He thanked their board. He thanked their litigation chief. He thanked "the entire CHD team." Sources in the comments.
BREAKING UPDATE: Pennsylvania confirmed a fourth measles death. An 18-year-old from Mifflin County. Unvaccinated. Robert Kennedy Jr. calls them "so-called measles deaths." The state public health officials call them what they are: the first measles deaths in Pennsylvania in 35 years, and rising.
Last week I showed you how RFK Jr. got busted on Samoa... again. Today: the backstory he doesn’t want you to see, the conclusion to our Samoa sequence from Shot in the Arm… Please watch and share!
He told Congress his trip to Samoa had nothing to do with vaccines. Then a 2019 letter surfaced. Watch.
Neil deGrasse Tyson just laid out, in stark terms, what America loses when it stops welcoming the scientists from around the world. I added the receipts, and the people now dismantling the system that made them possible. America Is Losing Its Scientists. Vote carefully to get them back.
They stood on the same stage. Same press conference. Same administration. The President called a fifty-year-old vaccine "quite lethal." And the man who runs the NIH says the opposite. That's not confusion. That's what happens when the story doesn't hold up. shotinthearmmovie.com
This isn't just an uncomfortable and rude performance from RFK jr, It's a method: Attack first. Deny everything. Claim victory no matter what happened. When we see past the spin, the truth is simple: RFK jr. is a danger to public health.
What a night at Chautauqua. Sold out house, standing ovation, and Neil deGrasse Tyson calling it "communication at its finest." Then a few hours later, on the same stage — we somehow opened for Trombone Shorty.
When did "I have a right to my opinion" start meaning "my opinion is as valid as the evidence"? It's not. It never was. Two of the sharpest minds in science, Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson, in about 90 seconds, on why.
I asked Dr. Dan what stuck with him from my CSICon 2026 talk. His answer was a story my daughter brought home from 6th grade science class in 2014. Then I told it live, on stage, the way it actually happened. Science was already under attack in 2014. This is why that question still matters.
Bobby Kennedy jr. is a quid pro ho. He called a Libertarian candidate in Iowa and tried to offer him a way out of the race — Rick Stewart got it on tape. What else does RFK jr. have to do for him to be held accountable?
Robert Kennedy Jr. was hastily put in charge of special education in this country. I have a nephew who's autistic, and I wouldn't want RFK Jr. anywhere near him. Call your senators. Tell them not to let RFK Jr. near our special needs children. (202) 224-3121
Your feed might be furious about last week's Roundup ruling. Before you join the pile-on: the EPA has ruled glyphosate safe since the 1970s. So did health agencies in Canada, Europe, and Australia. Independently. Watch first, then decide. Then share.
Two months ago, Secretary Hegseth called the flu vaccine mandate "absurd" and "overreaching." Compliance dropped from 100% to 40%. At time of filming: 159 sick, 1 dead. As of today: that number has climbed past 220. Action > reaction. Science matters!
An ode to my World Champion NY Knicks — and the beautiful serendipity of celebrating with a fellow science nerd at a hotel bar in Buffalo. Collective effervescence! @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @drandrealove.bsky.social #collectiveeffervescence #knicks #knicksnation #science
In 2019, I needed to capture RFK Jr. at an anti-vaxx rally in D.C. for SHOT IN THE ARM. I sent a shooter and a bright 19 year old P.A., Giorgio. He interviewed RFK jr. on the fly with me in his ear from LA. How do you think Giorgio did? #RFKJr #VaccineScience #DocumentaryFilmmaking
This isn't new. I've been documenting this playbook since 2015, it just keeps getting worse. Now they are trying to make it official policy. @kevinhall.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org @standupforscience.net @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social #RFKJr #DelBigtree #DrOz #FoodBabe #MAHA #FoodEvolution
Our Tessa just turned 20. In 6th grade, her science teacher asked the class a question (slide 2). Tessa raised her hand: "Is the answer… nothing?" "Exactly. And science is under attack — that's dangerous for our future." That was 2014. She had no idea how right she was. Happy Birthday Tessa!
Last week Del Bigtree (@delbigtree) and Food Babe (@foodbabe) rallied against glyphosate. I exposed them in my films. They are not honest brokers. @marklynas @bayer #Glyphosate #Roundup #FoodEvolution #ShotInTheArm #MAHA #PeopleVersusPoisin #FoodScience #Monsanto #IARC #SupremeCourt
RFK Jr Walks Back His Own Tylenol Conspiracy. One month RFK Jr declared Tylenol a crisis. Then the next month he said there’s “no proof.” We’ve seen this b.s. from him before — in SHOT IN THE ARM. Science isn’t improv. Follow facts the first time.
At the same chaotic Tylenol press conference where Trump and RFK Jr. lied to and insulted moms, Dr. Oz announced a “breakthrough” autism cure the FDA never approved — and he’s reportedly invested in the company. This is what happens when daytime TV meets public health.
As six former Surgeons General & the nation’s leading psychiatrists warn of the dangers of RFK Jr. to public health, I wanted to give another angle on my origin. I used to take science for granted. Then I made two films with Neil deGrasse Tyson—and became a science-defending storyteller for life!
“Who to Trust? RFK Jr. vs RFK Jr.” He swears he never scared people about vaccines in Samoa. Then he wrote an article admitting an anti-vaxxer arranged the whole trip. So…who should we trust — RFK Jr? Or RFK Jr? And hey Senator Cassidy, when are you going to impeach this pompous, privileged prat?
After all the pain and lies of the Samoa sequence, I wanted to revisit something healing. The Samoan parents who lost their children showed more love and courage than RFK Jr. ever could. They turned tragedy into compassion. That’s the kind of humanity we need right now. #VaccinesWork #fireRFKjr
Here’s Samoa Pt 2. Watch RFK Jr. squirm. Pt 3 drops tomorrow. #FireRFKJr #ImpeachRFKJr #ScienceMatters #FactsOverFear #PublicHealth #ShotInTheArm
The story RFK Jr. doesn’t want you to see: our Samoa sequence from Shot in the Arm. In 2018, 2 babies died from a vaccine mix-up—sparking 5k measles cases & 83 deaths. Instead of helping, RFK Jr. met w/ anti-vaxxers. These are not HHS qualities. Impeach RFK Jr. Two more parts coming…
