An outbreak in Texas has been linked to later outbreaks in Utah and Arizona. If the outbreak cannot be extinguished by January, the anniversary of the first cases in Texas, the United States will lose its WHO “elimination status”… #IDSky #measles 🎁 article 👉 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/h...

Infant botulism as of 11/14: 23 cases, 8 newly identified. All consumed ByHeart baby formula, now recalled. Sadly ByHeart’s initial recall was limited to just 2 Lot numbers, this may have contributed to additional illnesses. TLDR: Stop using any ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula immediately!

6/ Last week, Canada lost its WHO elimination status for measles. For anyone who is curious, the U.S.'s status will be reviewed in January. We’ve seen 1,600+ cases, the most since 1990, but elimination status changes depend on sustained transmission of a single strain, not just total cases.

7/ More infant botulism cases have been linked to ByHeart formula, bringing the national total to 23. Of the 85 cases since August, 37 consumed formula at some point, and 20 of those were ByHeart products. This is the first time this bacteria has been found in infant formula.

A botulism outbreak in US infants exposed to a particular brand of formula is highlighting the importance of food safety surveillance—and actions by the government that experts say are eroding the nation’s readiness to handle foodborne illness outbreaks. cen.acs.org/food/infant-... #chemsky 🧪

This is how this administration of greedy grifters is pissing away OUR money Can’t afford healthcare but can afford ads to stroke Trump’s ego

This is a heist, plain and simple. Just nonstop grift and corruption from this crooked President and his administration. They're doing nothing to make life more affordable for regular people, but they ARE working overtime to get rich using taxpayer dollars and resources.

I guess we will be bailing out Argentina's airport companies next.

For any other president this would be heralded as the disastrous policy failure of a floundering and indecisive chief executive

Baby formula linked to an outbreak of infant botulism was distributed to programs serving homeless mothers and other struggling families in multiple states, but it’s unclear what actions are being taken to alert those families to the recall. www.healthbeat.org/2025/11/13/b... #medsky #publichealth

Remember, most young doctors like myself have never seen measles outside of textbooks. It’s because measles-containing vaccines work.
