Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:Absolutely heartbreaking to see CDC staffers say they were surprised that the shooting didn’t happen sooner. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/08/cdc-shooting-trump-kennedy/683814/?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid=68980d8cf074e90001079eb3&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:Remember when we all used to clap every night to thank doctors, nurses, scientists, and public health workers for saving lives?
Thanks to disinformation, people in these professions are now frequently threatened and attacked. There is no way society can keep functioning like this.
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:Misinformation kills in so many ways 💔
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:Tonight, please spare a thought to all our scientists and public health workers who have dedicated their careers to saving millions of lives.
Despite their amazing work they are constantly threatened due to politicization and the unfettered spread of misinformation.
It should not be like this 💔
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:mRNA vaccines can be modified and produced cheaply and quickly. This doesn't only help us respond to pandemics better, it enables researchers to rapidly test different treatment strategies for many diseases such as cancer. Cutting mRNA funding slows all of health research and makes us all sicker.
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:It's been difficult to develop a HIV vaccine & treatments for many cancers as they're so effective at evading & attacking immune systems. mRNA-based therapies offer real hope as they allow scientists to test new strategies much more quickly. The faster we do research, the faster we find treatments.

Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:New study on scientific understanding in the US:
Vaccines have mostly been a benefit to human health
69% Agree
20% Unsure
11% Disagree
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:While 69% of respondents understanding that vaccines have been beneficial for human health is still way too low, it is outrageous that someone who is in the 11% of conspiracy theorists runs the top US health agency, and can make uninformed policy decisions that kill people.

Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:One of the most promising areas of cancer research is CAR T therapy, in which a "living drug" is made by modifying a patient's T-cells.
Research suggests that mRNA can improve the safety of CAR-T therapy because it prevents genome integration.
Don't listen to RFK's lies about mRNA being unsafe.
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:Dr. Katalin Karikó who won a Nobel Prize for developing mRNA vaccines responds to RFK Jr:
"When you are sick, you wouldn't ask for advice from a lawyer like Kennedy. You ask experts, your physician, for advice."
