@BeanGre73226284 Glad you are doing better

Got diagnosed with prostate cancer just after new year, had it removed yesterday,back home now and a months recovery and hopefully thats the end of it

@RWMaloneMD @nass_meryl Smart move

ACIP has been disbanded. The government’s response to the AAP lawsuit and judge Murphey’s injunction is to disband and then recreate a new ACIP committee, as this will take less time than would be required to file and prosecute an appeal. There will be no action from the government to respond to the defamatory characterization of the former ACIP members.

@WHLGav So sorry for your loss

My Dad passed away yesterday , I’m absolutely broken 💙

@BearFanPete_FF So sorry for your loss

My pops passed away today and this hurts badly

@FunkyStickman I’m so sorry for your loss

So, my dad died unexpectedly of a heart attack yesterday morning. I brought him to the hospital and was with him when it happened. I think Mom's terminal cancer was too much for him to bear. I'm so numb right now.

@Casual_Bob_ I’m so sorry for your loss

Hi Im Bob's sister Sharon. I wanted to jump on to let everyone know Bob passed away on 3/16. Bob had colon cancer for the last 7 yrs & handled it with strength and a hopeful spirit. This music community kept him entertained on long days. He loved it. We will miss him terribly.

@nickitruesdell @EruditeTogether One of the hardest things about homeschooling as you are going against social norms, at the very base level. Even family members were pushed back. But then when they see the results, they celebrate it.

@EruditeTogether I’m unsure how you felt ill-equipped to teach preschool at home. 🤔

I am a Christian, and I have two daughters. Both my daughters attend public school. When my daughters were old enough to go to school I felt so much pressure from the Christian culture to homeschool them. I went to public school and had a really good experience, but everyone was treating public school like it was the devils playground. I tried to homeschool my oldest in preschool and I realized how terribly unequipped I was to teach. I didn’t have the discipline, nor the mental capacity to teach from home. I think public school is great. The teachers are all so intentional, the school counselors are lovely, and their principal remembers their names and things about them. We are very involved parents. We go on field trips, take them to school events, and go to all their conferences. Honestly, public school gets way too much hate.

@CatholicCassie Congratulations

We had a baby girl! Thank you for your prayers! Deo gratias

@sitsio So sorry for your loss

Dear friends, may I ask your charity in praying for the repose of the soul of my dear friend Sean Kelly, who has died suddenly from a heart attack at just 56. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Siobhán, who is utterly devastated & their five children. Please remember Sean in your prayers, that the Lord in His mercy may grant him forgiveness of his sins & welcome him into the light of His presence. Please pray also for Siobhán & their children, that they may be comforted & strengthened in their grief. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

@KirkHerbstreit So sorry for your loss

My Dad, Jim, passed away 10 years ago today. I’ll never forget where I was standing that morning when my sister Teri called hysterically letting me know he had passed. Think about him every day and feel blessed to have had him as my father. I miss ya Dad! 🙏🏼

@2StefanMoore I’m so sorry for your loss

If you’re navigating (or have navigated) an overwhelming crisis, whether it’s a child’s serious illness, profound loss, or any storm that isolates you, I hope this reaches you and reminds you that you are not alone. When my daughter Ashley was diagnosed with #BrainCancer at just 11 years old, I pulled away from almost everyone I cared about. It wasn’t a lack of love or appreciation, many dear friends and colleagues stood ready with support, prayers, and open arms. But my world had come to a complete standstill while everyone else’s kept spinning. Bridging that gap felt impossible. Each day carried the weight of constant fear, sleepless nights filled with dread, and an exhaustion that went bone deep. I tried to show up “normally”with small talk, forced smiles, even laughter but the reality we were living crushed any lightness. Energy for anything beyond the immediate fight simply didn’t exist. I leaned hardest on the small circle who could sit with me in the chaos without trying to “fix” it, who let me fall apart without judgment. Often they were far away, but their quiet presence anchored me. Unread messages, unanswered calls, canceled plans, I still carry some guilt for the distance I created. But no one was to blame. I was surviving on whatever strength remained, protecting what little I had left while holding space for hope, love, and Ashley. Looking back, I see how deeply broken I was and how fiercely I still loved through it all. We made it through the worst of the storm (though the echoes linger), and I’m slowly learning to honor what survival required by guarding my energy, leaning on those who truly understand, and forgiving myself for everything it took to keep going. If you’re in the thick of something similar right now or still carrying the aftershocks years later, please hear this. You did what you had to do to survive. You kept loving. You kept showing up in the ways you could. That was and still is enough. You’re allowed to protect your peace. You’re allowed to need your people without apology. And you’re allowed grace for the seasons when “normal” wasn’t possible. Sending love and solidarity to anyone walking this road. You’re seen, you’re not alone, and your heart is stronger than you know. ❤️ Ashley ❤️ #Forever13

@RWMaloneMD @matthewshaw1111 It’s ultimately all just political, from the judge. Hopefully it will be overturned.

The Court’s Treatment of Dr. Malone Cannot Survive Scrutiny The court’s factual errors in the FACA analysis are nowhere more pronounced -- and more consequential -- than in its treatment of Dr. Robert Malone. In a single footnote, Judge Murphy dismisses Dr. Malone’s qualifications, concluding that his vaccine-related experience consists essentially of “early research on mRNA technology in the 1980s and 1990s” and that this experience, “thirty plus years ago,” does not “constitute the requisite expertise necessary for ACIP today.” AAP v. Kennedy, slip op. at 30 n.54. This conclusion is factually incorrect, and demonstrably so on the face of Dr. Malone’s curriculum vitae. It reveals that the court either did not review Dr. Malone’s full record, or reviewed it and chose to characterize it in the most unfavorable light possible. Neither possibility reflects well on the analysis. The Foundational Work Is Not Merely Historical The court is correct that Dr. Malone’s foundational inventions in mRNA vaccination technology date to the late 1980s. What the court fails to appreciate is the legal, scientific, and practical significance of that foundational status in evaluating his current qualifications. Dr. Malone holds nine issued patents in mRNA and DNA vaccination technology, with a priority date of March 21, 1989, assigned to Vical, Inc. and licensed to Merck. See Robert W. Malone, CV, Patents Issued Nos. 1-6, 12-14 (Feb. 2026). These patents cover lipid-mediated polynucleotide administration for vaccine delivery -- the precise mechanism underlying the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines that ACIP was called upon to evaluate. The inventor of the underlying delivery technology for the vaccines under review is not qualified to sit on the committee reviewing those vaccines? That proposition defies ordinary logic. Moreover, the court acknowledges in the same footnote that “the scope of his role in that research is disputed.” AAP v. Kennedy, slip op. at 30 n.54. This is a remarkable hedge. The court is discounting Dr. Malone’s foundational credentials while simultaneously refusing to resolve the dispute about those credentials -- and then using both moves together to dismiss his qualifications. That is not judicial analysis; it is motivated reasoning. Three Decades of Continuous Clinical Vaccine Work The court’s “thirty plus years ago” framing collapses entirely upon examination of Dr. Malone’s actual work history. His vaccine-related professional activity did not end in the 1990s. It continued without interruption through the date of his ACIP appointment, across the following documented roles and accomplishments: • Clinical Trial Oversight at Scale. Dr. Malone has been involved in developing, designing, and overseeing approximately forty Phase 1 clinical trials, twenty Phase 2 clinical trials, and five Phase 3 clinical trials, including serving as medical director and medical monitor at vaccine-focused Clinical Research Organizations. Malone CV, Professional Experience. This is precisely the hands-on clinical development experience that ACIP’s own charter identifies as qualifying expertise. • Vaccine-Specific Pathogen Experience Spanning Multiple Decades. His infectious disease advanced development oversight experience encompasses HIV, seasonal and pandemic influenza, plague, anthrax, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, tularemia, tuberculosis, Ebola, Zika, and engineered pathogens. Id. These are the exact categories of vaccine-preventable diseases falling within ACIP’s mandate. • Director of Clinical Development, Influenza Vaccines, Solvay Pharmaceuticals (2006-2008). Dr. Malone served as Director of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs for Influenza at Solvay, leading an extended clinical team managing a $300 million federal contract to develop and license a cell-based influenza vaccine. Malone CV, Work Experience. This is executive-level vaccine development experience -- managing federal contracts, overseeing IND filings, directing clinical protocols -- precisely what the court implies he lacks. • Medical Director, Vaccines, Accelovance (2008-2009). Dr. Malone served as Medical Director for Vaccines, serving as medical monitor for multiple seasonal and pandemic H1N1 influenza studies during an actual pandemic outbreak. Id. • Ebola Vaccine Development, NewLink/Merck (through 2016). Dr. Malone was instrumental in enabling the rVSV ZEBOV Ebola vaccine to advance toward Biologics License Application and licensure, including facilitating the initial licensing deal to Merck Vaccines. Malone CV, Professional Experience. This is peer-reviewed, regulatory-process, real-world vaccine development work. • Zika Virus Medical Countermeasure Development (2016-2017). Dr. Malone was a consultant for the World Health Organization during the 2016 Zika outbreak, presented the Drug Development Target Product Profile at the WHO Consultation in Geneva, and published peer-reviewed work in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases on medical countermeasure development challenges. Malone CV, Publications. • NIH/NIAID Study Section Chair and Reviewer, Vaccine and Biodefense Programs (2010-2019). Dr. Malone served as chairperson and scientific reviewer on multiple NIH and NIAID study sections specifically focused on vaccine development, including “Advanced Development of Vaccine Candidates for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases” (2017, 2018, 2019). Malone CV, Recent Study Sections. Chairing federal study sections evaluating vaccine development proposals is direct, technical, evaluative engagement with the state of vaccine science. • COVID-19 Research and Clinical Trial Development (2020-2022). Dr. Malone led a large research team from January 2020 focused on clinical research design and drug development for COVID-19. He developed the initial clinical trial design for a randomized controlled trial of famotidine treatment, filed the associated IND, and served as an invited participant in the NIH ACTIV Therapeutics Clinical Working Group for repurposed drugs. Malone CV, Work Experience. • Harvard Medical School Global Clinical Scholars Research Training Program, Graduated with Distinction (2016). Dr. Malone completed a year-long program focused on international clinical research, graduating in the top 5% of his class. Malone CV, Education. The Publication Record the Court Ignored The court relies in part on the observation that Dr. Malone published “only two papers discussing vaccines” immediately before his ACIP appointment. AAP v. Kennedy, slip op. at 30 n.53. This characterization ignores approximately 100 peer-reviewed publications and published abstracts with over 15,000 citations -- a Google Scholar ranking described as “outstanding” at the full professor level. Malone CV, Professional Experience. The court counts two recent vaccine-titled papers and treats the rest of the publication record as if it did not exist. A complete review reveals peer-reviewed publications on mRNA transfection, DNA vaccination, cutaneous gene transfer for vaccine delivery, nucleic acid vaccination, electroporation-enhanced vaccine delivery, SIV vaccine protection in macaques, Zika medical countermeasures, Ebola vaccine development, and COVID-19 immunopathology, spanning 1989 through 2025. The court’s two-paper count reflects a keyword title search, not a serious assessment of a four-decade publication record. His Current Role: Vice Chair of ACIP Itself Perhaps most remarkably, the court’s opinion fails to meaningfully engage with the fact that Dr. Malone currently serves as Vice Chairperson of the very committee whose composition the court is adjudicating. Malone CV, Professional Experience. He has held this leadership position since June 2025 -- attending meetings, reviewing evidence, participating in deliberations, and helping to shape the committee’s procedures and outputs. The court concludes that the inventor of mRNA vaccine delivery technology, who has overseen 65 clinical trials and chaired federal vaccine study sections through 2019, lacks the expertise to sit on the vaccine committee he currently leads as Vice Chair. The court’s conclusion that Dr. Malone lacks current, relevant expertise sufficient for ACIP membership is therefore not merely factually contestable. It is contradicted by the demonstrated judgment of the committee itself, which elected him to its leadership.

Judge: "An additional three of the current ACIP members—Dr. Retsef Levi, Dr. Robert Malone, and Dr. Catherine Stein—though they have some experience arguably relevant to ACIP’s function, appear to lack the qualifications and experience to constitute expertise in vaccines and immunization." The historian Hayden White said that a discipline's boundary is defined by what it forbids its practitioners from doing (in other words, what questions you're not allowed to ask.) In this manner the category “expertise in vaccines and immunization” has become self-limiting. No one inside that boundary of official 'vaccine expert' is permitted to ask serious questions about vaccine safety or to reach the 'wrong' conclusions. This is why you absolutely must have outsiders disrupt the system.

@NimraShahzadin So sorry for your loss

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that my beloved wife, Jo, passed away on Friday 2nd January 2026. She was diagnosed with cancer early in 2025 and fought it as best she could, brave and selfless to the end. She peacefully slipped away from us with her family around her. She is at rest now.

What other industry or job would it be OK to not pay a person? There need to be some repercussions for the government workers are not paid, but are expected to keep going to work.

@KhanSaba1278 So sorry for your loss

Today at 12:17am, my mother Candice passed away peacefully after an almost 8 year battle with stage 4 cancer. My heart is broken. I love you forever, mama.

@MalikAlyza Happy birthday

Please join us in wishing Emma Thompson a very happy 13th birthday! When Emma was just 13 months old, she was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, a rare type of brain cancer. After the diagnosis, she had emergency surgery at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital to remove the tumor. After the surgery, she went through six months of chemotherapy. Four years later, the tumor came back. Emma fought bravely and had another successful surgery, followed by 33 rounds of radiation treatment. She beat her cancer again. Last month, Emma had a routine MRI that showed she is still cancer-free! We are so excited to see her continue to grow and thrive.

@BrentAWilliams2 It’s much harder, knowing so much of healthcare has been politicized to trust any guidance.

“Evidence-based guidelines”has become a racket. They’re all like this now. Applicability to the real world approaching closer to zero each time a new one comes out.

@j6momma So sorry for your loss

My husband died in a tragic home accident on February 26. Please pray for my family. We lost our daughter four years ago to cancer. We were just starting to feel whole again. We are devastated. I may be needing help with cost to cover replacing a roof. He was trying to fix some loose shingles when he fell. They believe he died instantly.

@KungFuMan316 So sorry for your loss

Today is March 14, 2026. I woke up this morning to find my wife passed away. I wasn't going to post this. I didn't want to. I wanted to go through the motions. But it hurts so fucking much. She was dead before I even found her. I tried to wake her. I thought she was asleep.

@DrSuneelDhand It would be cool to have some type of paid service that a person hires, to help navigate the hospital system while you are in there. To assist in reducing hospital errors and everyone ensure communication.

I’m going to be very honest with you. If I was ever admitted to the hospital, I would not want to be admitted over a weekend. It is well known that hospitals everywhere operate a skeleton staff over the weekends. Many departments are not open, there are not as many doctors in the hospital, and certain non-urgent tests are not done on Saturdays and Sundays. This is also reflected in a large body of research which suggests WORSE outcomes on weekends. I can only speak for myself, but as a doctor who has worked many weekends — I still dress the same and always wear a tie on Saturdays and Sundays. This may sound very insignificant, but it’s actually very important. Let me explain why. I’ve worked in dozens of hospitals over the last few years, and I’ve noticed consistently that doctors tend to dress down on weekends. Many will come into hospital to round on their patients in jeans and T-shirts— assuming they are not wearing scrubs. These same doctors will dress completely differently Monday to Friday. My thought process is this: would you ever see a 5-star hotel, classy restaurant, or even an airline pilot flying you 30,000 feet in the air— dressing down because it is a weekend? Absolutely not, what sort of message does that convey? That you are not fully on the ball at weekends? Significant outcomes often start with small shortcomings. Doctors can choose to dress as they want, but as far as I’m concerned— dressing down on weekends sends the wrong message. Hospitals are 24/7, and must maintain the highest standards every hour and every day.
