Timothy @CaulfieldTim, research director at the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta, explains to @MooreintheAM how Donald Trump’s vaccine overhaul is ‘going to impact Canada.’ ihr.fm/4hscfDX

“Such an infuriating development.” — @CaulfieldTim says there’s absolutely no evidence behind Trump’s new vaccine policy.
He fears the “chaotic, confused information” will fuel anti-science and anti-vax rhetoric in Alberta.
Thoughts?

RFK Jr lies every time he opens his mouth. His words and actions are impeachable and criminal.
This is nonsense, not only did Covid vaccinations save lives from Covid with a 70-90% reduction in Covid mortality, there was 0% increase in overall mortality. Here for instance is a study of >20 million people

Public trust wasn’t broken by accident: it was a deliberate, health & antivaccine disinformation campaign led by extremist political elements, Fox News and their unqualified contrarian MD talking heads, WSJ Opinion, Great Barrington Declaration, podcasters, wellness influencers

"Misinformation & twisted science"-@CaulfieldTim warns recent CDC changes to the childhood vaccine schedule are wrong on so many levels & could cause real harm.
The U.S. is trying to mirror Denmark but Caulfield says the comparison doesn’t hold.

📢 The Certainty Illusion paperback drops TODAY!
It is sad that the themes in this book more relevant today than when first published.
And, as the history of January 6th gets more twisted, fitting that this is the release date.

I find these divisive accusations SO frustrating. This is a time when science-informed colleagues need to work TOGETHER!
I don't know a single public health expert who supports (or has said) "vax & relax" or "vax only".
Everyone has topics they are passionate about...

Who Is: Marty Makary
Marty Makary, the current FDA Commissioner, built his platform not on science but on spectacle.
Marty Makary turned a medical career into a megaphone for misinformation. Once a surgeon and professor, Makary built his brand on public skepticism, rising to power by attacking the very scientific standards he now oversees.
🧵A thread about public trust turned into propaganda.
Timothy Caulfield retweeted
This is a physician who has no experience in drug regulation and has never designed, carried out, or published a randomized clinical trial of the type needed for FDA approval, both MINIMUM qualifications for such a job. She is utterly unqualified.
Tracy Beth Høeg assumes the role of acting director of the #FDA's drugs division Monday. #CDER staff are worried about what Høeg will do. Among her targets: #RSV monoclonals that have been game changers, but which Høeg questions. @LizzyLaw_ reports. statnews.com/2025/12/11/trac…
