"A recent #measles outbreak in South Carolina has grown by two cases, according to health officials in the state, as the US outbreak total has reached 1,563 cases, the most in decades." Thanks, #RFKJr! cidrap.umn.edu/measles/more-me

Today the six surgeons general appointed since George H. W. Bush was president penned an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for the removal of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I'd missed this bit of #RFKJr insanity: The #CDC invited a scientist to present at a recent meeting about #vaccine safety -- AFTER #HHS had cancelled funding for his vaccine safety study.

Classic Rich People behaviour.
Somebody entice RFK Jr with a Costa Rican hilltop mansion...

And so it came to pass. Ann's psychiatrist at the time came to believe that the
pair were psychotic, and diagnosed Ann with folie 4 deux, a disorder where
two people reinforce each other’s mental illness until it reaches extreme
proportions. In addition, Ann was battling Lyme disease, and John - despite
having no medical training - chose to shun conventional medicine in favour
of injecting her with water from a local stream.

I think from this day forward #droopingDon & #RFKjr should start the day together on a 1 mile run 2 show us all how to #MAHA & if that does not work out at least we wont have the "crazy old white dude" problem in a few days & it can kick off the buy one get one free #Trump brand casket campaign.

from Paul Offit MD

"This year alone, the United States has suffered the largest measles outbreak in more than 30 years, an influenza death rate for children bigger than anything we’ve seen since the 2009 swine flu pandemic, and far more whooping cough cases and deaths in babies than in previous years. Nonetheless, RFK Jr. saw this as exactly the right time to tell us that vaccines don’t save lives. "

@treleanor @jeridansky Unfortunately, Trump -- the most deeply ignorant president in modern history -- seems to believe any nonsense #RFKJr tells him.

Also, there is a Facebook group that grew from about 8,000 to 60,000+ people after the admin announced its claims about leucovorin & autism.
The support group talks medications, treatments, and conspiracy theories— and has been getting spammed by people blaming moms for having autistic kids and companies trying to sell unproven treatments and cures.

I didn’t know this craziness happened!

At least one doctor trying to launch a proprietary leucovorin drug was already trying to get #FDA approval to do official testing prior to the #trump admin’s announcement that it was changing the labeling (approved uses) for the old, generic drug so that it covered treating #autism symptoms.

“…we were kinda surprised that they were just approving it (generic leucovorin) right out of the gate without more studies or anything…”

A new formulation of the decades-old drug would mean new patents, allowing Frye and his yet-to-be-formed drug company to charge far more than the cheap generics currently on the market.

"We have a lot of investors who are excited about leucovorin and want to do something high quality for kids with autism," he said.

But the FDA's announcement Monday may have scuttled that plan. Instead of previewing a new version, the agency said it would simply update the label on the generic drug to mention use in boosting folate brain levels, including for patients with autism. That's expected to encourage more doctors to prescribe it and insurers to cover it.
