Author: We Want Them Infected: How the Failed Quest for Herd Immunity Led Doctors to Embrace Anti-Vaccine Movement https://tinyurl.com/JonathanHowardInfected
I chose the subtitle to my book very carefully. As the doctors I warned about enable an anti-vaxx crank as he attacks vaccines, I don't want to hear a peep from anyone who called me "hysterical" or faked a concern about my tone. I just saw the threat years before you.
Hopefully @DrMakaryFDA and @VPrasadMDMPH can discuss on their next podcast. We deserve honesty and transparency from our medical establishment
One of FDA's Oncology Division has lost what is essentially the equivalent of a full drug review team. It's malignant hematology review teams are expected to have a staff less than half the intended size as more staff depart this August. insights.citeline.com/pink-sheet/age…
Is this true @NIHDirector_Jay? Hopefully you can discuss at your next town hall.
Cancer patients are being kicked out of clinical trials that could save their lives because Donald Trump thinks scientific research is too woke.
These are the references from @VPrasadMDMPH own recent JAMA paper

How much money did you raise for @DNIGabbard, @nntaleb?
On Tulsi Gabbard
I found this meme elsewhere, but it makes an important point that trust in our medical establishment is close to zero. Outside of @Sensible__Med sycophants, who trusts them?
🚨 ALERT 🚨 VINAY PRASAD, THE LEFTIST SABOTEUR UNDERMINING TRUMP’S @US_FDA, MUST BE FIRED NOW! We have a crisis at the FDA! A wolf in sheep’s clothing is sabotaging President Trump’s bold “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda! Dr. Vinay Prasad @VPrasadMDMPH, a…
Trust in our medical establishment is collapsing
Trump's health leaders are fools/knaves/charlatans/conspiracy theorists. He picked worst person in world for each health position. Makary, FDA head, seemed better choice-but he too is a disaster. Trump corrupts all he touches. "You lie down with dogs,you wake up with fleas."
CNN's @owermohle has a new report out today detailing how FDA's new Elsa AI tool is quite unrealiable, undercutting claims about how it will be used to make FDA more efficient: cnn.com/2025/07/23/pol…
"I am not aware of anyone in the community who has gotten any engagement from FDA." I thought the American public deserved transparency from the medical establishment @VPrasadMDMPH and @DrMakaryFDA
For many Duchenne families, halt to Sarepta $SRPT gene therapy treatments is heartbreak upon heartbreak statnews.com/2025/07/24/duc… My colleague @Jasonmmast with more reporting on the patient/physician perspective.

Hopefully you can discuss this at your next town hall @NIHDirector_Jay We deserve honesty and transparency from our medical establishment.
How are you going to restore trust @DrMakaryFDA
@MartyMakary personally knows of people who have been injured or killed by the mRNA shots, but wants us to be "patient" while they conduct some type of additional studies? ANY OTHER DRUG OR THERAPEUTIC WOULD HAVE BEEN PULLED 3 YEARS AGO! @DowdEdward @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr
From the article: "Several of the researchers I spoke with described Benn, with varying degrees of politeness, as a contrarian who has cherry-picked evidence, relied on shaky data, and conducted biased studies."
Some of critics feel that way about me, blaming me for the existence of this picture and everything these men do.
Well, by all the blame you get you must obviously be the most influential person in US healthcare that ever existed. There is no other explanation.
According to @FSBuchholzer, Kennedy bears no blame for vaccine-hesitancy. It's all my fault.
Secretary Kennedy’s powerful words cut through the noise: Many vaccines today target diseases they don’t even prevent from spreading—yet mandates force them on the public under questionable justifications. The real question? At what cost? No one disputes that vaccines can cause…
Very good article on how our medical establishment treats vaccines like an international popularity contest rather than a scientific question. It’s no surprise trust is collapsing.
America’s new health officials want to copy the vaccine policy of European countries such as Denmark. But there’s a problem with that plan, @KatherineJWu reports: theatlantic.com/health/archive…
I’d love for @drjohnm to watch these videos and tell me what I am missing. I don’t remember seeing anecdotes on the top of the EBM pyramid. I am a simpleton. He is a nuanced master of clinical appraisal. I have so much to learn.
. @DrMakaryFDA embraces anecdotal “data” regarding vaccine injuries while rejecting facts when it comes to kids harmed by viruses. Don’t take my word it. Listen for yourself. My latest for @ScienceBasedMed on the overt rejection of EBM at the FDA. sciencebasedmedicine.org/fda-to-replace…
He makes a good point with those first 4 words, but being a celebrity pundit means never having to admit error or introspect.
By your own admission: universities funding is spent on idiotic nonsense. They deserve to have their funding cut.
Of course @DrMakaryFDA had his own pharma ties (Harrow Health). dailykos.com/stories/2025/7…
“What should have been a straightforward vaccination turned into a Kafkaesque runaround—one that portends the chaos to come. The result will be… more transmission, more cases, more long Covid, hospitalizations, and deaths.” My latest for @newrepublic: newrepublic.com/article/196742…
