This task force for childhood #vaccines was disbanded 27 years ago. #HHS just revived it.

The #Trump / #RFKJr US Dept of #Health & Human Services said on August 14 it is reinstating its task force on a federal panel for *safer* childhood vaccines after 27 years.

The panel was created by #Congress to improve the *safety, quality & oversight* of vaccines administered to US #children.

USA TODAY · This task force for childhood vaccines was disbanded 27 years ago. HHS just revived it.Av , USA TODAY

I'm on an #FDA-funded project, which means I need to do #HHS' online compliance training.

I can't tell you how galling it is to be taught all the conditions for the permissible disclosure of personally identifiable information (authorized recipient, need-to-know, etc etc.) knowing that it's all out the window when #BigBalls shows up at your desk.

US Health and Human Services centralized medical database – Uh oh
 
This week the Health and Human Services (HHS) agency and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are announcing an initiative to create a centralized database of individual’s health information. The stated rationale for this effort is to improve access to innovative health solutions and improve user access and security. A part of this initiative will include updates to the HIPAA regulations. The effort will be led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz (Really). There is a pretty aggressive schedule to have the initial work completed by early 2026. The announcement is here:
 
cms.gov/newsroom/press-release
 
My initial thoughts:
 
HIPAA already guarantees users ability access to their health data and regularly penalizes health organizations who do not comply. This seems to be a made-up problem.
 
Privacy of health information is also enforced by current HIPAA regulations. Organizations who violate patient privacy are already penalized under the regulations.
 
The aggressive timeframe for the creation of a centralized database is unrealistic. Further, staff reductions at HHS will make this a riskier endeavor.
 
The dangers of implementing a central database are large. It becomes a target for well-funded state and criminal hackers. It can be easily abused by a punitive state regime (see IRS data being used against immigrants). It can open the door to organizations selling quack treatments and abusing susceptible patients. Nothing in this press release points to better health care support for those who need it. Further, it appears that the lead technology organizations are among those that most abuse personal privacy for profit. None of this is encouraging.
 
I don’t see anything good coming from this, and the potential for abuse is enormous. If you are at-risk individual be sure to download copies of your medical records, and have a discussion with your health providers about your concerns. If you are an IT security specialist or developer in the health sector, be sure you know what options you have in regards to sharing patient information, and be sure that your management team understands the risks.

"MAGA🚨trusts RFK more than they trust their dr bc RFK tells them that doctors have a FIN incentive to push #vaccines. This is a lie. Most practices either lose💰or just break even on vaccinations. When it comes to the health of your family, trust your dr."
-Dr J Reiner

Many MAGA believed anti-vaxxers➡️ then Trump made his #RFKJr #HHS Sec. It's easier to control the masses when they're sick, poor, imperiled... & it enriches the oligarchs, when they're dead. Their ideology is short-sighted.
#USPol

In case you missed it, this is Jim O'Neill, RFK Jr's #2 at the Department of Health and Human Services, at DEF CON 33 on August 8, 2025.

He gave remarks before the AI Cyber Challenge awards ceremony, which awarded $8.5M to the winning teams. One of his remarks: he wants to...

"Make the US healthcare system great again."

😐

O'Neill is an investor, has no medical background and is closely associated with Peter Thiel. Platforming, in action.

We need better discourse, leadership, & action to protect #PublicHealth wkrs.

This tragedy isn't an isolated event🚨a reflection of ever-escalating threats PH wkrs face: misinfo, politicization, & inflammatory rhetoric.

>18 hrs: for #HHS Sec #RJKJr to issue a public stmt condemning the violent act. CDC employees: already demoralized by DOGE-led budget & staffing cuts felt abandoned.

Falsely claiming🚨these #vaccines: inherently dangerous: mislead +endanger lives.

STAT · Former surgeon general: The CDC shooting must be a wakeup call“When influential figures amplify falsehoods, they legitimize the anger that leads to violence,” writes former Surgeon General Jerome Adams.

“'Kessler has given the FDA a way to define the vast majority of ultra-processed foods. In doing so, he has handed RFK Jr a huge gift on the path to regulating these products. It’s just what MAHA has asked for. I hope they take it seriously,' Marion Nestle, the Paulette Goddard professor emerita of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University, said in an email."

I’m livid about RFK’s decision to stop funding mRNA research, but I can’t find an email address for him. HHS’s website leads you to believe you can contact their personnel, but when you click on something you discover it’s not what you want. “radical transparency”—HA!

Anyone have tips for how to get a message to him? I refuse to use FB, X, or donnie’s private social media platform to communicate with folks in government.

"These people don’t value life, they get off on death.

Instead of answers and more science and discovery to make sure we are ready for the next mass-medical emergency, Trump instead has inflicted us with this gruesome stray from the Kennedy dynasty, who is quickly becoming a one-man pandemic.

His approach to science makes chugging Lysol seem almost reasonable."

His approach is anti-scientific quackery disguised as "just asking questions" and as "freedom" to throw away the weight of heard-earned scientific findings and scientific consensus, and in the process, to inject the poision of doubt in the cultural bloodstream, when there's absolutely no doubt that vaccines do NOT cause autism, that they prevent the spread of communicable illness, and that illnesses like measles can kill children.
