Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives. Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional. This says everything about the state of US health care.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful. Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms. This is dangerous & disappointing.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Study in JAMA Pediatrics estimates that vaccinating pregnant women against COVID-19 prevented 7,000 hospitalizations in infants and 3,000 in pregnant women from January 2024 to May 2025.  #Medsky www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/cov...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Here’s shared decision making- if you want your Covid shot go get it, science supports it for the majority of people over 6 months old. Your doctor will support you and help answer any questions or concerns, and will not inhibit you from making an informed choice.

Covid vaccine and flu vaccine done! Get yours too and protect yourself and others around you

I just learned about the new US Measles Tracker from @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social and @hopkinsengineer.bsky.social. #medsky #IDsky #episky 🛟😷

Never imagined I’d be a Barbie doll! Thankful to Mattel/Barbie for their Inspiring Women series, and to my NASA colleagues whose teamwork continues to inspire people.

If passed, HB 7 would allow private citizens to sue anyone who provides, manufactures, or delivers medication abortion to someone in Texas. This vital medicine, which is also used during miscarriage treatment, is proven safe & effective—it should be available to those who need it, when they need it.

RFK, Jr becoming the number 1 cause of death.

Bill HB7 passed Texas senate, we should all be concerned as this moves toward a final vote

apnews.com/article/abor... Mifepristone is one of the safest studied medications, and safer than most over the counter medications. Further Restriction of access is not based on science.

“Prasad’s comments still appeared on anti-vaccine social media accounts, suggesting Prasad was directing his removal demand only at a critic and not anti-vaccine influencers. In the past, Prasad has complained about censorship by social media companies.” Yeah, cause he is an antivaxxer and a fraud.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

hmmm...i posted a different one today. i'm confused why they are hosting two similar ones.

The loss of highly experienced CDC leadership is the latest devastating result of the Administration’s sustained attacks on public health, and it absolutely must be the last. Our statement: https://bit.ly/41XOkU7

Agreed, it already was and now it’s accelerated

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

This is not good for our society

New one for me: patients came in saying they used ChatGPT for their medical advice and information. Maybe I’m late to the party, how do you even respond to this?

The Senate just passed its version of the reconciliation bill, which would strip health care access from millions of people. Tell Congress to vote NO on H.R. 1: bit.ly/3RWVW41 #ObGynsInAction #HandsOffMedicaid #MedicaidMatters

Covid19 vaccine is still recommended for children and pregnant people based on the science. No longer can we trust HHS and CDC as authorities on public health.

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

The new FDA policy paper on COVID-19 vaccination by Vinay Prasad & Marty Makary included a table comparing the new US policy with other countries. However, they got most of the recommendations wrong - some lacked nuance, & others were blatantly incorrect. Thread by me @ @sciencewhizliz.bsky.social

www.forbes.com/sites/sarado... Our representative Baumgartner supported the passage of this out of the House overnight while most of you were sleeping. This will devastate our healthcare systems and crisis even further if it passes the Senate.

United Healthcare allegedly pressured nurses to deliberately change patient statuses to "do not resuscitate" in order to reduce costs for nursing home patients. While I can't approve of his methods, Mario's brother may have been on to something. Damn. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Since the NYT Armchair Brigade is at it again, let me just share a few public quotes made in May, 2020. 1️⃣ "Even Kristian Andersen [.] first thought that COVID-19 was just as likely to have been accidentally released from a lab as it was to have come from nature" www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/sci...

Over half of our area is on Medicaid for pregnancy, if this is cut they will not have coverage at the most dangerous point of their lives. How is this helping protect and keep our country healthy? How can anyone support this?

This is your brain on Fox.

Republicans are holding a hearing to gut Medicaid…at 1 a.m. Why? Because they don’t want you to see them take health care away from 14 million people. I’m a doctor. I’ve done overnight shifts before. And I’ll be there tonight to fight back. I'll keep you updated.

The House Rules Committee is set to meet at 1 a.m. ET on May 21 to discuss Medicaid funding cuts that would essentially defund Planned Parenthood.

It's not just Northwestern and Harvard, I have gotten credible (confidential) reports from several other schools (including state schools) that the NIH is defaulting on federal commitments there too. Seems like there may be a big story here for an investigative reporter willing to take it on
