Combating Rising Anti‑Vaccine Activism Through Science Advocacy
Many thanks @uiowa for hosting my lectures this week, on our vaccine development program and the dangers of accelerating antivaccine activism in America, also the history of American anti-science movements and latest book #ScienceUnderSiege with @MichaelEMann @PeterHotez https://t.co/3r0XH08iMu
Reassembling ACIP Is Wasteful Under Anti‑vaccine HHS
Look, reconvening ACIP in any form when you have incurious antivaccine activists/ideologues in charge at HHS = waste of U.S. taxpayer dollars. Until there are changes at HHS, there’s no point. For RFK Jr ACIP is meant to legitimize dangerous...
Scientists Advance mRNA Immunotherapies for Cancer, Funding Lags
Now in addition to our @TexasChildrens @BCM_TropMed protein vaccines for global health, our scientists are refining the mRNA technology for new immunotherapies for pancreatic cancer and triple negative breast cancer, if only the grant support would hold… https://t.co/NEgq6DX4qz

HHS Allegedly Fuels Wellness Influencer Pseudoscience Against Vaccines

Anti‑vaccine Activism Cost 200‑300k Lives, Says Author
Yes, among people who refused Covid vaccines during the delta and BA.1 omicron waves in 2021-22, that resulted in 200,000-300,000 needless deaths. They were victims of antivaccine activism driven by politics and the corrupt wellness/influencer industry pushing ivermectin, which did...
Low‑Cost Covid Vaccine Tech Delivers 100M Doses, Bypassing Big
So to clarify, Baylor Coll Med licensed our low-cost protein Covid vaccine technology to four entities: BioE (India), BioFarma (Indonesia), Incepta (Bangladesh), ImmunityBio (U.S./S. Africa). The first two produced and delivered 100 million vaccine doses as Corbevax for India and...
Genetic Testing Confirms Autism, Not Vaccine Injury
My daughter with autism and intellectual disabilities was not “vax injured,” a made up term. In fact through Baylor Genetics her autism gene was identified and sequenced and similar to the >100 autism genes published in @CellCellPress https://t.co/93tE96LcmB
Media Vilifies Dissenters to Boost Ratings and Agenda
Actually I was going on Fox News often early in the pandemic but I refused to go along with the fake news about hydroxychloroquine coming out of the White House, and the invitations from the nighttime programming stopped. Midday anchors...
Read Books, Not Conspiracies, to Support Low‑cost Vaccines
Ummm, maybe on the day you decide to visit a library and read a book instead of relying exclusively on fake conspiracy sites to spoon feed you disinformation for their political or financial advantage. So likely never. I develop low...
HHS Undermines U.S. Biotech, Promotes Pseudoscience
Hasn’t HHS already done enough damage to U.S. biomedical science and biotech? Why kill one of the few things that still works in America? ANS: it’s part of a darker dystopian MAHA vision to elevate pseudoscience in its place. My...
Epidemics Shaped Texas History From Cabeza De Vaca

A Fresh Path for Young Physicians and Med Students
Sound and thoughtful advice from @DGlaucomflecken in my recent article on @BakerInstitute website (our policy think thank @RiceUniversity) I’ve proposed an alternative or parallel for young physicians and med students, it’s a bit out there and still half-baked https://t.co/0NN1omZTWk

Low‑cost Patent‑free Vaccines Challenge Big Pharma, Expose Uninformed Freedom Rhetoric
But…I develop low-cost often patent free vaccines that bypass big pharma and provide access to people who can’t afford them. In the past people who espoused freedom were learned and read books. Now they’re just lazy mindless dummies who think...
Low‑cost Vaccines Saved Half‑million Lives, Ignored for Joke
Seriously? I make low-cost vaccines that reached 100 million people, bypassed big pharma, didn’t make a dime, and saved 300,000-500,000 lives, and they focus on a junk food joke I made 6 years ago, this Rogan crowd, a bunch of...
Rebuilding Vaccine Trust After Ideologically Flawed ACIP Recommendations
Good news for America’s children. ACIP was devoid of vaccine expertise and made harmful and ideologically driven recommendations that went against pediatric medical science. Hopefully we can rebuild pubic confidence in vaccines despite their efforts to undermine it, but it...

IPV Doesn’t Block Infection, but Stops Paralytic Polio
Actually he has it a bit backwards, those vaccinated with IPV can still acquire poliovirus and shed virus, but it prevents the virus from entering the bloodstream + protects almost 100% paralytic polio, just like the Covid vaccine protects 80-90%...
Seasoned Scientist Still Innovating Vaccines and Writing

Vaccine Policy Shifts Spark Resurgence of Deadly Diseases
But also it’s not only measles, pertussis (whooping cough) is also returning, and based on latest ACIP (or what used to be ACIP) stunts, we’ll see rotavirus, meningococcal meningitis, HBV liver cancer, return after that. A public health disaster built...
Tylenol Not Linked to Autism Genes, Study Shows
There are a few known chemical exposures in early pregnancy that interact with autism genes. But not Tylenol. I’ve spoken to RFK Jr about them but he had no interest, and he can’t process scientific information. Here’s my article https://t.co/pxLaDLInlf
