- Reposted by Natalie LintonI want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear: This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited. The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

- Reposted by Natalie LintonTo be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- I'm funded by one of the COVID-19 era grants used for pandemic preparedness they are working to pull back. Part of what I do is develop methods to continue to track COVID-19, These methods are leveraged for other diseases and will be invaluable to have ready for next pandemic. calcat.covid19.ca.gov

Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
- Reposted by Natalie LintonWait, what the fuck? These orgs applied for and received grants from the government, and now, because this administration chooses to pretend climate change doesn’t exist, they’re going to be accused of FRAUD? For work already done and paid for as the government directed?

- Reposted by Natalie LintonMy latest post is now out. I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.
