Make masks FIT and FREE! As we experience a record breaking flu surge and the ongoing effects of COVID, now would be a great time to ramp up efforts to make high quality N95 masks free and widely available. Really wish free mask distribution was a regular feature of progressive events for example.

So. Much. Flu. 😷 🦠 And people who were scared to get the vaccine now want to be prescribed any number of less effective chemicals. Sigh. At least 9 kids have died of the flu already this season. And it’s still early. 😞

“The draft offshore leasing plan includes the Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska and other areas important to the fishing industry. It’s part of a national proposal that includes the entire coast of California, where drilling is fiercely unpopular.” alaskapublic.org/news/politic...

“Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism… …We need to quickly return to medical information and recommendations being based on sound science, not unverified opinions.” 💯 Thanks @idsainfo.bsky.social #MedSky

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.

FDA is approving a new form of nalmefene for “prophylaxis” for “opioid exposure,” specifically citing fentanyl. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Fent has to be intentionally ingested to cause OD. It’s being made by a “blockchain-focused digital finance company” whose “biotech arm” is only this…

PLEASE SIGN! I'm a physician who has cared for agricultural workers in the San Joaquin Valley. They have been neighbors and friends who are among the hardest-working people I know. Denying them jobs is unconscionable and will slash the income of all farm workers, no matter where they were born.

Evidence-based vaccination recommendations are about more than individual decisions A child infected with measles as a baby “not old enough to be vaccinated at the time of infection” recently died of a complication 💔 Vaccines protect kids who receive them — & infants & others in their communities

NEW: An analysis finds that NIH funding cuts have disrupted at least 383 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants that were enrolled in studies that were testing treatments for conditions including cancer, heart disease and brain disease.

Autumn murmuration for #Stunday Absolutely mesmerizing in person.

New paper reminds us yet again: HOMICIDE is the leading cause of death for pregnant women. Gun violence & partner violence are related. All-cause homicide & firearm homicide of pregnant women are higher, in states w/ higher calculated firearm ownership (1/x 🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

‘Summers went on to describe what he saw as his "best shot": that the woman finds him "invaluable and interesting" and concludes "she can't have it without romance / sex."’ This is called quid pro quo, making career opportunities contingent on sexual favors. It’s the most severe form of…

Powerful.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Shameful, but not surprising. “Harvard Medical School postponed an online course on transgender healthcare after the National Review, a conservative news outlet, contacted the school about the legality of offering fee waivers to transgender and “gender diverse” participants.”

Happy #blueskymonday! Appreciate the subtle beauty all around us.

“Immunizations work, they are very effective and safe, and they save lives. Vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and effective tools in public health.” Kudos to AAFP, AAP, ACOG, ACP, IDSA for this. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/v...

It’s so gross to demand proof that someone “matters” for them to deserve health care. We are a rich country and *everyone* matters

Holy smokes! Our article is on the cover of The Lancet!!!!!!!!!! Nbd 💅

Healthcare should be a basic human right. Kicking millions of Medicaid in a pay to play system is social murder. It’s eugenics. It’s telling the most vulnerable in society that they’re not worth protecting. Please keep fighting the Medicaid cuts. Demand Universal healthcare for all!

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

“Everyone is Paying Attention” Honestly, the middle child in me is so happy right now. But more importantly, help me send Lindsey home. www.glamour.com/story/dr-ann...

Just imagine this horrible thing happened to your kid. Wouldn’t you want to have a say in their health and future? Maybe let their Physician weigh in? Give your child some control over their own body? How is it ok to take these decisions out of the hands of those who are living this nightmare?

Let’s Not Lose Focus….

If you work in women's health, or you're a woman, or you're a doctor to women, please read the new World Economic Forum report, Prescription for Change, which lays out the problem of women's exclusion from research. Impressive suggestions. So much work to do! www.weforum.org/publications...

“China noted a rise in outpatient cases from 7.5% to 16.2% and severe hospitalized cases from 3.3% to 6.3%” The latest COVID variant is sweeping across Asia, causing “razor blade throat” and other concerning symptoms. The US dismantles reporting, remove access to testing & may restrict vaccines:

If you're a nurse, a doctor, a respiratory therapist, a PA, etc., and you voted for this administration, then you're a fucking moron and a monster. You can't sit there and say you care about your patients while voting for the very people who are working endlessly to kill them. Full stop.

I made this video 2 years ago. I had a lot of people tell me I was being dramatic. Now we know UNH are pushing nursing home to get residents to sign DNRs. I’m so glad people are waking up. youtube.com/shorts/ZZtHN...

We talk a lot about buprenorphine to treat #opioid use disorder - this is a good reminder that there is still a role for good ol’ methadone. #MedSky #addictionscience

This @latimes.com piece is spot on. ED boarding is a symptom of a much larger disease. The US healthcare system is cracking - education erodes, docs/trainees burn out, and patients suffer. We need a reset. #MedSky #EMsky #EMedsky @markmorocco.bsky.social
