Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold: "The Governor's grant of clemency to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. It sends a dangerous message about accountability for those who would attack elections."

Happy Pride!!!

@aetiology.bsky.social outlines how wrong the US response to Ebola has been. “The refusal to repatriate exposed patients may understandably deter recruitment of medical personnel willing to travel to the affected countries, as many will be reluctant to “suffer the consequences” of their efforts

Our own @gregggonsalves.bsky.social shares his experiences with the ones who do the lions share of care in healthcare, nurses.

Seriously? They are trying to make advisories from the Surgeon General a thing despite there being NO SURGEON GENERAL?! Make it make sense🤦‍♀️

This is getting messy very quickly www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

🆕 @who.int Sit Rep for #Ebola #Bundibugyo outbreak - 906 suspect cases, 223 suspect deaths (CFRL 24.6%) - 112 confirmed cases, 11 confirmed deaths (CFR 9.8%) These numbers will change as testing and contact tracing scales up www.afro.who.int/countries/de...

How does this help our response efforts? What does it accomplish?

My god, we are equipped to handle these cases. Fear can’t drive public health response!

I’m out of free articles anyone have a gift link?

Travel bans for public health do more harm than good. They don’t stop the spread, they may delay it, but they make it harder to track. Good lord we need public health leadership in this country

Hell Yeah Science☄️💥⚡️💯

I’m sensing a theme and it rhymes with shmifter

Very very pleased to see this

The meeting was scheduled to run from 2:30-5pm but only ran 30mins🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

You don’t say 🤦‍♀️

I don’t love that states are having to go at it alone regarding vaccines but I’m pleased my home state of CO is charting its own, public health forward, way.

Left without comment only concern

This is purposeful and harmful.

For those keeping track: 15 IC directors, surgeon general, CDC director, & FDA Commissioner are all vacant. If you are wondering why or how our public health response regarding any disease/outbreak has been slow or non existent look here first. This is not the time to be without competent leaders!

“No cases [of pediatric deaths] were classified as certain in relation to COVID-19 vaccination”. This the topline sentence in the results from the executive summary of the report that Prasad, Makary, and Hoeg claimed to show that 10 children died from the COVID19 vaccine.

I wonder if he regrets his deciding vote for RFK jr?

If any other member of the government was found doing this they’re be faced with ethics violations and possibly loose their job but not Trump. How and why do we allow this?

It should concern you that the press is willing to discuss the severity of this outbreak but the CDC won’t (or can’t bc they are understaffed). This is serious

“At any other time in history, this would be a major scandal that would lead to congressional hearings and resignations of leadership, and I hope that’s what happens next.”

No Sh*t. It’s awful and scary.

Pure fascism. abcnews.com/US/trump-adm...

What stands out to me from this first person account is how the passengers were treated. His words- they were treated “like prisoners”- this isn’t a public health approach we should strive for. The situation was serious & scary but folks cooperated.

Long Covid is no joke. We need treatments and more research and you can tell this directly to the FDA!

About 6 months ago, Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Hoeg falsely claimed that they had data showing that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children. The public has never seen those data, and we never will, b/c they have all been booted, as they richly deserve for lying to the people of the US.

Another important post from @maxkozlov.bsky.social: NIH staffing shortage could slash number of new grants issued this year www.nature.com/articles/d41... It's astonishing how quickly we have gone from a world leader in research and innovation to rubble under the current regime. 😡

And she can take her aspirations of our vaccine schedule being like Denmarks with her

My dad died of Melanoma this past January. I wonder if he could still be alive with this drug? I’ll never know 😣😞

Drinking is no excuse for hate. This country is unrecognizable

Cassidy ran for Senate in a white coat. Set up school vaccination programs. Watched hep B destroy patients who never got a $50 shot. Then handed RFK Jr. the keys to immunization policy and won't say it was a mistake. Pasteur would not move on. www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

“…it’s typical for some roles to remain unfilled or be occupied by interim leaders. But critics say the level of upheaval in the current HHS is unusual and the lack of scientific expertise among its leadership is concerning.”

This was so interesting!

My @thelancet.com review of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's book 'Everything is Tuberculosis' www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Excellent story on where to get reliable medical information by @brucemirken.mas.to.ap.brid.gy share.google/i92ydhC1Aduu...

The Department of State says that as of September 30th support for PEPFAR by the CDC will end in most countries. And we will see death a levels we haven’t seen in decades. This is devestating

Don’t be alarmed when folks get off the boat and a few test positive for Hantavirus. This is because those on the boat experienced prolonged exposure in closer quarters than most. This is NOT COVID- try to remember this. Reach out to your public health friends if you need more support.

This is so super worrisome and should be a wake up call for every public health practitioner in the field.

1/ A week into a multi-country #hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship, the CDC has finally issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) advisory to clinicians. In a world of rapid global travel and instant information sharing, that delay matters. www.cdc.gov/han/php/noti...

I’ll say it again- next do RFK Jr. please!
