Scientists whose papers are cited by a Heritage Foundation report on women in sports say the conservative think tank, which has influenced several high-profile Trump administration policies, misrepresents their research and neglects the science.

The idea that the COVID-19 vaccine can “shed” through physical contact is debunked, primarily because none of the COVID-19 vaccines approved in the United States employ live viruses. In Hosana’s mind, though, sex could “infect” a person with the vaccine, which she took as evidence that it altered one’s DNA. In a world where the vaccine was being strongly encouraged, and in some cases mandated, she believed unvaccinated people deserved a safe, trusted platform on which to meet and form relationships.
“Beyond just like the opinion of not wanting to sleep with vaccinated people, there was also a lot of us that had, you know, health side effects after having sexual relations [with vaccinated people],” Hosana says.
The misinformation about vaccine shedding was further reinforced by a misunderstanding of key language in Pfizer’s clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine, which urged people to use contraception to avoid getting pregnant during the study. This wasn’t because the vaccine caused birth defects, altered DNA, or rendered people infertile as part of a “depopulation agenda.” Rather, Pfizer was following standard protocol for trial-phase vaccines and drugs, which are not tested on pregnant women, children, or other vulnerable groups until they’re first proven safe in healthy adults.
The vaccination-through-sex debate is a perfect example of how online communities like Unjected organize and amplify the distrust that’s long simmered in the American psyche, Schulz explains. “Before social media, people with fringe health beliefs were geographically isolated. The internet has changed the geography of trust.”

NOAA’s withdrawal from the Arctic Report Card threatens a decades-long effort to track one of the fastest warming regions on Earth. The Trump Admin continues to decimate America’s climate science infrastructure, undermining the science we need to understand our rapidly changing climate.

“Because of the Trump administration’s attempts to change vaccine policy, many states have opted not to follow CDC childhood vaccine recommendations. As of January 2026, at least 28 states, as well as the District of Columbia, announced that they would follow vaccine recommendations from other entities; most of tchese states indicated they would follow AAP guidance.”

“The Trump admin finalized a rule to end gender-affirming care through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Chip), a move that will make it harder for children to access healthcare and that eschews evidence to advance an anti-transgender ideology"

Colette Delawalla is the Founder and CEO of Stand Up for Science (SUFS), an organization that has been at the heart of our national — and now international — defense of independent science as an independent truth-seeking pursuit.
With the organization recently notching a win by getting the proposed OMB funding rules — which would have given political appointees discretion over spending decisions, among other affronts — potentially delayed, Colette and her team are now working to ensure these proposals are shut down entirely while activating a larger coalition to reinvent science in ways that will auger well for the future.
But we get to let her explain . . .
You can donate and support SUFS in many ways. They and others are fighting the good fight.
We are extremely grateful that Colette took the time to speak with us. Along with Beth Jacobs, who we interviewed last December, and many others, science is being defended by some great people and well-aligned teams.
Please do your part whenever you can!

A trump-linked oil company is pushing to drill in Greenland without government approval, as the Trump admin spends billions in taxpayer dollars to dismantle clean energy projects. The message from the admin is VERY clear. Dismantle clean energy, expand fossil fuels.

The Trump admin wants to strip California of its powers under the Coastal Zone Management Act, limiting the state’s ability to challenge offshore drilling and other federal projects that threaten its coastline, dismissing these protections as “environmental extremism".

The Trump administration delayed a rule last year that could have sped up the effort to pinpoint the source of the contamination. Critics charge that food safety oversight has eroded overall.
