His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.282460/gov.uscourts.mad.282460.261.0.pdf

Run. Hide. Fight. What the CDC shooting means for public health

Friday’s shooting at the CDC follows years of backlash against public health since the pandemic. Bound by a commitment to protect people, public health workers aren’t giving up.

Much new information from @drjudystone and her #CovidTidbits newsletter.

Hope for our vaccine for this year, if anyone can actually find it (late September, perhaps?)

Much on the destruction being wrought by Kennedy and his ilk.

Always worth your time.

Thanks! The first thing I thought about was…how are you going to have placebo controlled human studies of a vaccine? Glad you mentioned in your article that this action would be completely unethical. Geez Louise, RFK Jr is bonkers, and should not be allowed anywhere near a (formerly) respected public health institution. People are going to die. I’m so sorry this is happening to all of you.
