AP reports: “President Donald Trump on Monday used the platform of the presidency to promote unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism without giving new evidence.”apnews.com/article/tyleno…

Trump reveals lack of knowledge of what he’s talking about & his insensitivity to women who “can’t tough it out.” youtube.com/shorts/UDMHZc1…

"The announcement is an incorrect reading of data," said Noor Pervez of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN). "The way that RFK Jr. speaks about autism is actively dehumanizing, and it promotes stigma against autistic people." usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

Who writes this stuff for him? “It’s too much liquid,” Trump said of pediatric vaccines. “Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number.” Please pronounce acetaminophen again for me! open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

Collection of quotes from & about this strange event: "At times, I had to remind myself that, no, this was not a Saturday Night Live skit." garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/a-strange-pr…

Regulators in Europe have issued new statements backing the safety of Tylenol use in pregnancy, effectively repudiating claims from the Trump administration that the medicine can cause autism in children. statnews.com/2025/09/23/tru…

Trump health follies: fake video on "historic new health care system," a post promoting hemp-derived CBD, his FDA banning a dye that hasn't been used for decades & FDA Commissioner double-talk on acetaminophen & autism. garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/the-trump-he…

Trump called it “one of the biggest medical announcements that this office has ever made.” But experts questioned whether the moves will change the status quo much. statnews.com/2025/09/30/whi…

It’s Think Before You Pink time again. Not all fundraising promotions are the same - or legit. Some do more for companies & their products than for “the cause.” open.substack.com/pub/garyschwit…

This is an example of #pinkwashing profits over patients that we see every October in #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth. open.substack.com/pub/garyschwit…

Pink fried chicken, pink garbage trucks, pink fracking drill bits (!) and Hooters girls - examples of pinkwashing fundraising promotions in October. But where does the $$$ go - and how much for the cause? garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/think-before…

RFK Jr. "is dead wrong" claiming vaccines are ineffective. They "have saved lives, reduced severe impairments like paralysis, brain damage & hearing loss, and saved us billions of dollars. Enough of the dangerous deceptions on vaccines." statnews.com/2025/10/10/mea…

If this is the “Gold Standard Science” touted by an Executive Order to restore trust to American health policy, it’s doing just the opposite. Trust is looking more battered, broken and rusty by the day. garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/gold-standar…

I'll keep writing about the hypocritical “tenets of Gold Standard Science” that federal health folks brag about. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Try to fool me with every action you take - well, my momma didn’t raise no fool. garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/gold-standar…

“What we’re seeing here is, ‘We believe this and we’re going to find the evidence to support that.’ That’s just inherently wrong in terms of how a scientific agency like the FDA operates.” statnews.com/2025/10/14/fda… statnews.com/2025/10/14/fda…

Let’s stop referring to “the media.” It is inaccurate. There is no such monolith - no such homogeneous entity. garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/lets-stop-re…

“While many foundations say that their commitment to science journalism will continue, there is a feeling of apprehension among some reporters and editorial leaders.” undark.org/2025/10/15/sci…
