RFK Jr: "My vision that is every American is wearing a wearable within four years."

RFK Jr. says NIH may publish in-house rather than in 'corrupt' journals statnews.com/2025/05/27/rfk-…

America is entering a new dark ages. The Atlantic:

New rule, if you are at the top of the physician income ladder you do not get to speak about Medicaid, reimbursement or otherwise. You should just be quiet and enjoy your enormous salary. Respectfully.

The U.S. is about to lose a ton of future scientists and founders. To satisfy a grudge.

BREAKING: The EPA says it will reverse most of the drinking water standards aimed at protecting people from toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. Even low levels of the chemicals known as PFAS are linked with cancer and other health problems.

Answers to a few questions from @bigfatsurprise about incidences of censorship I recently experienced at NIH: 1. My request was denied by HHS to present an invited keynote talk on my ultra-processed food (UPF) research at the Bloomberg Philanthropies annual Food Policy Program partner meeting on March 31. A virtual option was also denied. No reasons were provided. I have emails documenting these denials. 2. I don't think paper is published yet, but @GardnerPhD is an author and can confirm that I withdrew my authorship in late February to avoid capitulating to NIH requests to revise manuscript text and thereby censor my co-author's contribution on health equity issues surrounding UPFs. I have emails documenting these events. 3. Yes, I have my email sent on March 4 to the NIDDK press office showing my approved answers to questions from the NYT reporter. I also have the email sent March 5 from the NIDDK press office with answers that were edited (either directly by the HHS Communications Director or at his request) but attributed to me. I also have documentation indicating that the HHS Communications Director contacted the NYT reporter saying that the results of my study don't support the views of RFK Jr on UPFs. This was confirmed in my discussions with the NIDDK press office that they had received similar information from the NIH Director's office and that HHS wanted to highlight limitations of the study, characterizing it as small and that participants consumed only one milkshake and spent only 5 days admitted to the hospital. Meanwhile, it was the largest study of it's kind and almost unique in its level of dietary control for a neuroimaging study. Please note that all of this occurred before @DrJBhattacharya took office (which was after the deadline to apply for early retirement). I could have withdrawn my retirement application had I received a response to my March 28 email to HHS and NIH leadership (which I suspect was read by someone because I have documentation that it was forwarded to an NIH colleague from the NIH Director's office on April 2). I did not receive a reply and my last day at NIH was April 16 when I was asked to turn in my badge, parking pass, and office key. Since then, I'm happy to report that I had a very productive meeting with @DrJBhattacharya who let me know he only learned of these issues after the announcement of my retirement. I'm looking forward to further discussions with him.

I continue to be shocked. You know those photos of the gang tattoos on Abrego Garcia’s knuckles? They’re photoshopped. But Trump himself has shared the pic. It’s now a “fact” in MAGAworld. The tattoos are whatever Trump says. Every day is a new low with these people.

A sitting member of the United States Senate says she and many of her colleagues are afraid of speaking out against the actions of the President and his administration because of retaliation. Does this sound like a functioning democracy to you?
