Not knowing the complete cause of something doesn’t mean every hypothesis stays on the table forever. We don’t know every cause of lung cancer either. That doesn’t mean we keep investigating whether scented candles cause it. Vaccines and autism is one of the most thoroughly studied questions in all of medicine. Dozens of studies, millions of children, multiple countries, every study design you could ask for. Autism absolutely deserves more research. But “leave no stone unturned” here means something specific: keep relitigating a question the evidence has already answered so the people who reject that evidence feel validated.

CASSIDY: Do you believe that vaccines autism? TRUMP SURGEON GENERAL NOMINEE CASEY MEANS: The reality is we have an autism crisis that is increasing. We do not know as a medical community what causes autism. We should not leave any stone unturned.

@atrupar Why is she suggesting informed consent is not already in place in a patient physician relationship? We dont give people vaccines without first asking or ensuring they want one. I understand the vaccine mandates were not smart and eroded trust but that was an outlier situation

CASSIDY: Would you encourage Americans to take the flu vaccine? CASEY MEANS: I do think it's important as a physician and to rebuild trust in public health to make sure patients are encouraged to have informed consent with their doctors before getting any medication

@DrMakaryFDA @HHSGov Wow. Are you serious right now? Some of your actions and silence are contradicting what you wrote about in Blind Spots. Or does this take on science no longer apply now that you’re in that seat?

Science is advancing at incredible speed. Public understanding isn’t. That gap is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Science is giving us solutions. But if society doesn’t understand them, we can’t benefit from them.

@Wisdom_HQ @0xpablockchain Poorly worded it could easily be interpreted as… 7 men =7 Each man could have 7 wives =49 Each man could have 7 children + each woman could have 7 children = 49 + 343 7+49+49+343 = 448

As a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. The birth dose is a recommendation, NOT a mandate. Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year were infected with hepatitis B. Now, it’s fewer than 20. Ending the recommendation for newborns makes it more likely the number of cases will begin to increase again. This makes America sicker. Acting CDC Director O’Neill should not sign these new recommendations and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.

For nine months, my wife, Brooklyn, carried our baby boy. And for nine months, we lived in a place between hope and heartbreak. Early in the pregnancy, we learned something was terribly wrong. Around the three- to four-month mark, doctors told us our son had severe hydrocephalus — fluid building so rapidly in his brain that it pushed everything aside. They used to call it “water on the brain,” but the simplicity of the name didn’t soften the reality. We were eventually referred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where some of the best fetal specialists in the country met with us. And they gave us the kind of news no parent is ever prepared to hear. His condition was so severe, so extreme, that they stopped measuring. There was no point, they said. The MRI images were devastating. We were told there was a greater than 90% chance our son would either: • Die shortly after birth, or • Survive with such profound cognitive impairment that life — real life — would not be possible. We sat through meetings no parent should ever sit through. Conversations about breathing tubes. About how long to try. About the moment we might have to make the decision to let him go. Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati to be close to the hospital. I drove back and forth — working, caring for our daughters Sophie and Lily, and trying to keep our home standing while our world felt like it was falling apart. Then came July 8th. Just 15 minutes before Brooklyn’s C-section, we sat with doctors again and discussed when — not if — we might have to remove life support and let our son go to heaven. I don’t have words for that kind of pain. And then — Charlie Edward Schnarr entered this world crying. A strong, loud, defiant cry. The most beautiful sound I have ever heard. He stayed in the NICU until yesterday… and now we are home. Together. Holding him. Loving him. Watching him breathe. Watching him live. He has mild ventricular enlargement we will keep an eye on — but otherwise? He is thriving. Eating. Wiggling. Yawning. Gripping our fingers. Looking around at a world that was never supposed to be his. The doctors have no explanation. They said his brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own — something none of them have seen in a case this severe. The word that kept echoing through the NICU from seasoned nurses and top specialists was the same: “Miracle.” “Divine intervention.” They said it. Not us. We know thousands of people — family, friends, coworkers, strangers — were praying for our son. I believe with everything in me that God heard those prayers. That He placed His hand on Charlie. That He said, not this one. I will spend the rest of my life thanking Him. To every person who prayed for us — every text, every message, every whispered intention — thank you. You carried us when we were too exhausted to carry ourselves. Prayer is real. God is real. And miracles… they still happen. With a full and grateful heart, —Nick

Many Americans do not appreciate importance of public health expertise & agencies. The pandemic response reduced trust in public health experts. Despite it is still quietly saving lives. #Publichealth is more than vaccines! forbes.com/sites/lisafitz…

One year ago, @POTUS was charged with restoring our country's greatness. Since entering office, he's brokered eight peace deals and championed our America First values globally. Because of his leadership, we're no longer a laughingstock — we're the hottest country in the world.
