Makary, RFK Jr. Exaggerate Chronic Disease Benefits of Menopausal Hormone Therapy
Many doctors agree with the Food and Drug Administration’s recent decision to remove the black box warnings on at least some forms of hormone therapy used to treat the symptoms of menopause. But in making the announcement, health officials misleadingly suggested that women could take the drugs for long-term benefits to the heart and brain. Menopausal hormone therapy is not currently recommended for those uses.

Echoing a longstanding anti-vaccine trope, President Donald Trump falsely claimed that the American vaccine schedule "long required" babies to get "far more" vaccines than are given in "any other" country, and he directed health officials to better "align" practices with those of other countries. The recommended schedule in the U.S. is quite similar to that of other high-income nations, and it isn't a federal mandate.
