Well, #RFKJr's #MAHA Pt 2 is out and it's garbage, as expected. I tell the LA Times:
“If you’re putting out a report that’s supposed to address how to help our children stay healthier, and you’re not even mentioning the No. 1 cause of childhood deaths, you ought to be embarrassed,” said Bruce Mirken, a spokesperson for @defendpublichealth.bsky.social

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared
Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism
He encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain
He praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines
These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community.
My latest looks at the threat to our lives, as well as how we can support one another.
We must not give up hope, but we need our non disabled allies to fight with us.
Refuse to see us as expendable and help us demand better:

Hallucinating #GoldStandard science
"The #MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist."
https://www.notus.org/health-science/make-america-healthy-again-report-citation-errors
"Health Secretary #RFKJr says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions. Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all."
