I can't believe I finally get to say this. But, now that the virtual "ink" is drying… My book with Oxford Univ. Press "Anti-Scientific Americans" is scheduled for release in Fall '24 (exact date TBD)! This project means so much to me & I can't wait to share it with you.

A second Trump administration threatens to take the "public" out of "public health." So many thoughtful reflections here from BUSPH faculty and students. (Opinions are mine -- not necessarily that of my employer). bu.edu/sph/news/artic…

Polis' views are extreme, disguised as moderate. When people choose not to vax. for *non-med.* reasons, they increase the chance that diseases mutate & infect. That's a problem for all of us; esp. those who can't vax. for med reasons. Mandates put the "public" in public health.

Jared Polis, the Democratic Governor of Colorado, announces his support of Robert Kennedy Jr as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Polis says he’s “excited,” by the news.

Because I'm already seeing this point bubble up... RFK Jr wasn't picked to lead HHS in spite of his inexperience and disdain for sci. experts. He was picked *because* of them. Anti-intellectualism is a feature, not a bug, of Trumpism. a.co/d/gUhRkCu

On RFK Jr. and vaccines: DASHA: Do you think banning certain vaccines might be on the table? TRUMP: Well I'm going to talk to him and talk to other people, and I'll make a decision, but he's a very talented guy and has strong views.

🚨Updated WP: We add analyses showing that the "vibe shift" coincided with increased donations to Dems up/down ballot, and provide new data the normative democratic implications of increased electoral enthusiasm. Available here! 👇 osf.io/preprints/soca…

NEW WP. It's a Kamala-nomenon! We quantify the "vibe shift" in US politics following Pres. Biden's decision to drop out of the '24 race, in a pre-registered nat. experiment embedded in a nationally representative panel study. 🧵 Draft: osf.io/34myr

The first presidential debate and the subsequent change in the Democratic nominee moved national polling. Every other story seemed politically inconsequential.

It’s wild that a single case study in 1998 on vaccines and autism…that was retracted and fraudulent has led to this much harm. 26 years later, after decades of quality research showing no link…we still have to deal with the ramifications. No amount of research is enough

I'll be presenting this and some of our other vaccine promotion work (see preprint below) TODAY at #SMDM24 at 4:25pm in the Metcalf Lounge at @BU_Tweets. Hope to see you there! osf.io/preprints/soca…

NEW WP: Regret motivates vax. behavior change. Exposure to "reversal narrative" messages emphasizing why hospitalized RSV patients regret not vaccinating is associated with increased vax. uptake intentions. With: @THCallaghan @JenCornacc @david_yokum osf.io/preprints/soca…

@NTampio @sciam I think that COI disclosure and healthy skepticism (which is the heart of the sci. method, after all) are super useful here. I write about this in the book. Skepticism, but not *blanket* skepticism, is the best path forward IMO

@matt_motta @sciam OK. Now the hard question. 🙂 Are you worried about the role of money in science? Scott Gottlieb walked from the FDA to the Pfizer board. I think that people should be extremely wary of "experts" with conflicts of interest.
