The AMA has even less credibility than the CDC right now. It has taken positions on political issues, but tried to cloak them in the guise of The ScienceTM.


This post shows just how far gone a large portion of the US population is. Science is science. There is always skepticism, which is why research is always performed to hone data to draw conclusions. That people actually believe science is political is brainwashed rhetoric. If you don't want to believe science then the alternative is to believe narcissistic leaders like Trump, Musk and RFK, Jr.

Where do you have your faith? In dispassionate scientific research or dear leader?


Oh please, you can create ‘science’ to say anything you want it to- all depends on how you set up your parameters and what statistical methods you use. Not to mention what research gets funded and which does not. And then you have research that gets funded, but not published.
And if you think most grant recipients are dispassionate, I don’t know what to tell you.
I would’ve said the same thing 15 years ago, today though, not so much.

Not that there aren’t great strides being made in many areas, but there is certainly politics, and fraud/abuse, in research.


Or, you can just believe whatever trump or musk tells you to believe

Everyone is anti-science until they need that science to save them and stay alive. And then as soon as they're healed, "thank god!" is what they say. No, thank science, you ignoramus.


+1

And it was federal government money / grants that funded the research that allowed for the meds and surgeries to heal them. But then they hate the government and federal workers...

Ooh. Pray tell, what are President Musk and President Trump and Secretary RFK Jr planning to FIX the CDC or AMA or any other dang thing they complain about?

Get used to it. This is what’s going to happen to every other federal agency being shuttered.

Surely you have some proof of this.

So?
You don't have to listen to them then.

I'm happy they have stepped into the breach left by Musk

Since the CDC has been muzzled, the American Medical Association is doing the kinds of briefings the CDC would typically do. You can find it on the AMA YouTube channel.

Apparently bird flu is becoming a worrisome issue, and the AMA is doing the best it can to communicate with the stakeholders that our CDC normally would…but for this chaotic, misguided administration.
