@OlenaRohoza Absolutely not

Would you support President 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ? YES or NO?

@mhdksafa Yes

@Puppieslover Thor

What would you name him ?

@PuppiesIover Chocolate

You have to name him the last thing you ate

@Maga_Trigger 100

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you want to see Donald Trump removed from office?

@SecKennedy Why would we even consider walking away from these statements??? who.int/teams/noncommu….

The United States objects to the United Nations Political Declaration on Non-Communicable Diseases. We will walk away from the Declaration, but we will never walk away from the world—or our commitment to end chronic disease. We stand ready to lead, to partner, and to innovate with every nation committed to a healthier future.

@Mike_MacConnell @BarackObama From JAMA -. However, analyses of matched full sibling pairs found no evidence of increased risk of autism (hazard ratio, 0.98), ADHD (hazard ratio, 0.98), or intellectual disability (hazard ratio, 1.01) associated with acetaminophen use.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

@OlenaRohoza Yes!!!

Would you support President 🇺🇦 Zelensky receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ? YES or NO ?

@50_and_retired @Craig_A_Spencer Not a finding, an “association” which could be due to other causes! They say in the article that they have not test found causative factors on this.

@Craig_A_Spencer It seemed to be a finding from a Harvard research:

I’m absolutely speechless. Like, wow. This is the worst ‘health’ press conference I maybe have ever seen And I watched every one during Covid How are we doing this again???

@OctoberFerguson Yes!!!

Would you consider voting for a gay man for President of the United States if you liked his platform?

@SecKennedy Maybe we should figure out how to make more individuals care about their health, and facilitate access to healthcare?

We became the sickest country in the world. I need to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

@TuckerCNews B no!!!!!

Do you agree that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates should be prosecuted with crimes against humanity for funding the Covid Wuhan Lab in China? A. YES B. NO

@dr_demetre @Craig_A_Spencer Thank you for your service and your commitment to public health

My resignation letter from CDC. Dear Dr. Houry, I am writing to formally resign from my position as Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), effective August 28, 2025, close of business.   I am happy to stay on for two weeks to provide transition, if requested. This decision has not come easily, as I deeply value the work that the CDC does in safeguarding public health and am proud of my contributions to that critical mission. However, after much contemplation and reflection on recent developments and perspectives brought to light by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I find that the views he and his staff have shared challenge my ability to continue in my current role at the agency and in the service of the health of the American people. Enough is enough. While I hold immense respect for the institution and my colleagues, I believe that it is imperative to align my professional responsibilities to my system of ethics and my understanding of the science of infectious disease, immunology, and my promise to serve the American people.  This step is necessary to ensure that I can contribute effectively in a capacity that allows me to remain true to my principles. I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.  The recent change in the adult and children’s immunization schedule threaten the lives of the youngest Americans and pregnant people.   The data analyses that supported this decision have never been shared with CDC despite my respectful requests to HHS and other leadership.  This lack of meaningful engagement was further compounded by a “frequently asked questions” document written to support the Secretary’s directive that was circulated by HHS without input from CDC subject matter experts and that cited studies that did not support the conclusions that were attributed to these authors.  Having worked in local and national public health for years, I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people. It is untenable to serve in an organization that is not afforded the opportunity to discuss decisions of scientific and public health importance released under the moniker of CDC.  The lack of communication by HHS and other CDC political leadership that culminates in social media posts announcing major policy changes without prior notice demonstrate a disregard of normal communication channels and common sense.  Having to retrofit analyses and policy actions to match inadequately thought-out announcements in poorly scripted videos or page long X posts should not be how organizations responsible for the health of people should function.  Some examples include the announcement of the change in the COVID-19 recommendations for children and pregnant people, the firing of scientists from ACIP by X post and an op-ed rather than direct communication with these valuable experts, the announcement of new ACIP members by X before onboarding and vetting have completed, and the release of term of reference for an ACIP workgroup that ignored all feedback from career staff at CDC. The recent term of reference for the COVID vaccine work group created by this ACIP puts people of dubious intent and more dubious scientific rigor in charge of recommending vaccine policy to a director hamstrung and sidelined by an authoritarian leader.   Their desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults.  Their base should be the people they serve not a political voting bloc. I have always been first to challenge scientific and public health dogma in my career and was excited by the opportunity to do so again.  I was optimistic that there would be an opportunity to brief the Secretary about key topics such as measles, avian influenza, and the highly coordinated approach to the respiratory virus season.  Such briefings would allow exchange of ideas and a shared path to support the vision of “Making America Healthy Again.”  We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary.  I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us.  Unvetted and conflicted outside organizations seem to be the sources HHS use over the gold standard science of CDC and other reputable sources.  At a hearing, Secretary Kennedy said that Americans should not take medical advice from him.  To the contrary, an appropriately briefed and inquisitive Secretary should be a source of health information for the people he serves. As it stands now, I must agree with him, that he should not be considered a source of accurate information. The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines favoring natural infection and unproven remedies will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer.  I believe in nutrition and exercise.  I believe in making our food supply healthier, and I also believe in using vaccines to prevent death and disability.  Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated and is derivative of a legacy that good medicine and science should continue to shun. The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning.  My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so.  I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud.   I am resigning because of the cowardice of a leader that cannot admit that HIS and his minions’ words over decades created an environment where violence like this can occur.  I reject his and his colleagues’ thoughts and prayers, and advise they direct those to people that they have not actively harmed. For decades, I have been a trusted voice for the LGBTQ community when it comes to critical health topics.  I must also cite the recklessness of the administration in their efforts to erase transgender populations, cease critical domestic and international HIV programming, and terminate key research to support equity as part of my decision. Public health is not merely about the health of the individual, but it is about the health of the community, the nation, the world. The nation’s health security is at risk and is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunities for growth, learning, and collaboration that I have been afforded during my time at the CDC. It has been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated professionals who are committed to improving the health and well-being of communities across the nation even when under attack from within both physically and psychologically. Thank you once again for the support and guidance I have received from you and previous CDC leadership throughout my tenure. I wish the CDC continued success in its vital mission and that HHS reverse its dangerous course to dismantle public health as a practice and as an institution.  If they continue the current path, they risk our personal well-being and the security of the United States. Sincerely, Demetre C. Daskalakis MD MPH (he/his/him)

@Bassiliky @MrPitbull07 wow what a horrible and wrong thing to say.

@MrPitbull07 What do you want us to do Marco, kiss your ass??? I know how you nurses are, 90% of you are horrible and Democrats, so no I am not going to kiss your ass!!!

Sorry, but does anyone else find this Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez wedding a little gross?

@SigersonBell @RpsAgainstTrump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@RpsAgainstTrump This is important and Mike is correct—The president will indeed hear from God. The Holy Spirit is at work ladies and gentlemen, this is a rare moment and opportunity to see. God saved President Trump for a reason; everything is happening because God wills it so!

This is freaking weird. Trump just posted a text message he received from Mike Huckabee, his ambassador to Israel, urging him to attack Iran: “I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine.”

@panagis21 @EM_RESUS And laying hands on the patient. I have witnessed so many physicians standing at the foot of the patients bed,talking at the patient (note - not with the patient) and never doing any kind of physical exam.

Nothing replaces being bedside by the patient.

@akbridget @piper4freedom @akbridget uh. Trump was president and implemented the lockdowns that kept you from your husband. Maybe you should aim your anger at the right person - the asshole who is currently president.

My husband of 38 years spent the last week of his life alone in the hospital because of the lock downs. I was only allowed to see him briefly to say goodbye. I will never ever forgive or forget. I will give Biden the same sympathy he extended to me and countless other families, so many who were not even allowed the courtesy of being with their loved ones at the end. Zero.

I may lose followers but this is how I feel. Biden is going to die surrounded by family. He allowed many to die alone and scared. So many lost the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones and provide them with a proper burial. He didn't care. Forgive me if I have zero sympathy for him and his family.

@piper4freedom @piper4freedom wtf??? Trump did the lockdowns. Not Biden. What a heartless soul you are.

@akbridget @piper4freedom Uh. Trump was president and implemented the lockdowns, not Biden.
