There have already been two games this WBC where a team hit 4+ home runs The only WBC with more such games was 2009 (4)

IDSA President Ronald Nahass, MD, MHCM, FIDSA, President-Elect Wendy Armstrong, MD, FIDSA and Misha Huang, MD met with @degette.house.gov. Thank you, Rep. DeGette, for meeting with us to discuss the ID workforce and support for public health, ID research and outbreak preparedness!

Nearly 80% of U.S. counties lack an ID physician. Thank you to the office of Sen. Susan Collins for meeting with us to discuss the value of ID care.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

Thank you to the office of @peters.senate.gov for hearing why strong public health funding, more ID physicians, and research support matter for patients and communities. 💗

Thank you to the office of @pingree.house.gov for meeting with our members @kinnathakarar.bsky.social and Lisa Chirch, MD, FIDSA, and IDSA associate director of advocacy Rabita Aziz, to discuss how we can keep patients and communities safe! 💗

My most unconventional view is that I think people who wrote stuff like this hold a sliver of blame for the loss of public trust.

That's right. Worse than Pointless www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

Trump says he’s sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland to help “the many people who are sick”, but the catch is that the only supplies it is carrying are ivermectin, beef tallow, and pull up bars.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Prasad “is less an exceptional character than a representative figure in R.F.K.’s MAHA alliance — an outsider critic, swept into power on a wave of pandemic backlash, and poorly suited to the work of helping to actually run the public-health establishment rather than merely finding fault with it”

Why are we still platforming these assholes in the Journal, exactly? www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is now also the temporary head of the CDC, a role in which he is expected to continue to do nothing but appear on right-wing podcasts and further cement the complete lack of respect of his colleagues.

4-5 years ago there were MDs like Lucy McBride crowing about the urgency of normal, getting kids back to school. There were PR hacks like David Zweig supporting them. Now kids are being sent to immigration detention, getting measles & these folks are nowhere to be found. It was never about the kids.

Check out our article and guidance on Epic chat messages in CID. Anyone doing frontline clinical work understands the substantial downsides of constant, on-demand, text communication in the EHR. So great to write this with ID fellows. doi.org/10.1093/cid/...

This is such terrible advice that I should use it to update my example of when stretching your y-axis is misleading, and truncating your y-axis is fine. Hint: Only a fraction of people in a trial will get infected regardless.

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe patients' care was disrupted. If there were disruptions, it's the responsibility of the researchers, not the NHS HASSAN: That is an unacceptable and outrageous response. You can make an edict - 'Don't disrupt care!' - but that can be a very complicated thing

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Ralph Abraham's response to the WSJ is bizarre. The resurgence of measles in North America not from 'porous borders'. It is due to declining vaccine coverage. Most cases are occurring in unvaccinated persons. All should have been preventable-- except we have vaccine 'skeptics' running the CDC.

I am wondering if any of the loudest proponents of "learning loss" in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have spoken up about what ICE is doing to students' ability to learn, safety, etc. I'll wait...I'm sure they're on it. www.chalkbeat.org/2026/01/28/e...

As an ID physician who was on the frontlines of #COVID from the beginning and saw countless people die of this disease I find this take from Bhattacharya to be insulting. It disrespects every healthworker who risked their life and the patients who died.

Important not to lose sight of what’s starting up in Maine right now.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

I can still remember when white men took automatic weapons to statehouses in 2020 to protest Covid lockdowns. Basically armed militias occupying state legislatures. All with the support and cooperation of police. Not one of them was shot down. Not one of them was detained.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is how the administration is maligning Alex Pretti A caring, 37 year old male US citizen who worked in the Minneapolis VA ICU as a nurse caring for sick veterans. This is shameful and indefensible.

⚠️Pub alert: Are two sets of blood cultures always needed? This paradigm had to be challenged by necessity in 2024 We show trends in detection of bloodstream infections using only one set of BC were comparable to 2 sets when targeting improved patient selection and volume collection. #IDSky 🔗👇
