The post says the "top US medical journal" but the article gets it right, calling the Lancet one of the most respected and most cited peer-reviewed medical journals in the world. It's British.

I just got the Flu vaccine and the new Covid booster and let me say this, I’d never allow a Meth addict that eats road kill and snorts cocaine off of a toilet seat to tell me about my healthcare! FUCK RFK JR.

I hate these evil bastards, destroying our children and the fact that we have that many fucking dumb Americans that will actually not get vaccines because of this prick

There needs to be more attention in general paid to how easily manipulated pseudoscientific medical policy and guidance processes are. RFK is more obvious than usual because he's an idiot, but also because the establishment isn't willing to cover for him the way they did for Wakefield for a decade.

Highlighting this Retraction Watch article because it's both incredibly serious, and just the tip of the iceberg. This reflects a culture of sloppiness and self-interest that is far too widespread in clinical "science" circles, from the "5-micron error" to shoddy evidence synthesis practices. See 🧵

Don’t know. But NPR falsely said it was a US medical journal. Its country may be irrelevant, but if mentioned should be factually correct. I come from the “don’t print lies in the newspaper” school of media criticism.

Trump’s cabinet is all clowns & fools chosen for loyalty rather than competence. Hegseth is destroying the DOD. Pam Bondi is destroying DOJ & FBI. The DOE is being destroyed on purpose. Transportation, HUD & Interior don’t make as many headlines but I assume the same thing is happening there.

Surely he's been made aware that the things he's doing will cause needless injury and deaths. It's the moral equivalent of shooting random people on the street.

Kennedy is fixing what the petrochemical corporations have ruined. They took over our medical field over 100 years ago and have done nothing good for People. America is sick and in terrible shape; corporations are richer than ever. He was running as a Dem, but the same corporations own the DNC.

Hie reign will take generations to repair. I think people forget that the chaos the Trump regime creates discourages young people from pursuing careers in medicine, the environment, government ...

The Lancet is an international medical journal published in London. The top "US medical journal" is arguably the NEJM while some might say JAMA. Posts like this scream out, "I don't know anything about this topic."

American billionaires looked at the Russian gangster government model and said, that looks good, why don’t we do that? Then installed a president and cabinet that would bring it about. Time for war on billionaires.

Might??? Im just a middle aged, non medically trained, every day citizen of the US and I think Im qualified to state: he's fcked up our healthcare and medical research institutions for a damn generation.

The warnings from leading medical journals are grave—RFK Jr.'s anti-science stance poses a long-term threat to public health. We Democrats stand firm on science and evidence-based policies, safeguarding future generations together!

It’s not an accident.🧵

RFK Jr. isn’t being hired to promote health. Remember Steve Bannon’s pronouncement in February 2017 when he declared his objective was the “deconstruction of the administrative state” and people scratched their heads wondering what he meant? Trump’s entire cabinet is full of Bannon’s wrecking balls.

Just how much testosterone and steroids is this guy on..I worked out at bodybuilding gyms in the 80s and they had the same weird complexions and ruddy skin. Also his stupid roid body. No man his age gets like that natural like.

Any fool idiot that did whatever this coked up brain worm #freak in a very real sense of the word… gets what they get. Sorry, not sorry. That #fuckface turned against every safety we have proven over many decades of science. One toilet sniffing coke freak tells you measles vax don’t work and… #FU

Kennedy is not perfect but way better than what we had before. CDC and FDA run by Pharma. And the lancet is an industry rag. Looks to be like Kennedy at age 72 is doing fine being an antivaxer. Maybe you should listen to him.

LOL!!! The editorial board consists of people who worked or will be working for the pharmaceutical companies who have made huge profits from all their drugs and vaccines that have made millions of U.S. citizens sick and mentally unstable.

We won’t be able to fix it until Dems get control of all 3 branches & hold them for decades—and at state level, too. I don’t think America will show up at the polls to accomplish that. The GOP is rotten to the core. Since 2016 I have had zero faith in the electorate. Please prove me wrong, America.

His appointment is something you would expect to read in Mad Magazine. It is so beyond a joke that this really happened. Any and all published research coming from the US must be dismissed as stupidity until that country topples this regime.
