We got home for our HILL trip. We shared and spread the word about to life saving work of CDC, public health and science. Here is a fun pic of a few of the awesome pieces of swag we shared with each other while traveling.

Sunday reset! Sharing and spreading thanks today and everyday! #publichealth #savepublichealth #CDC #savescience

Vaccines remain one of our most powerful tools to protect public health and America’s future generations. Every child deserves the right to vaccines. #SaveCDC #ACIP #SavePublicHealth #VaccinesSaveLives

We have learned that the “official CDC account” on X has been live posting disinformation during ACIP. No one should get information from X. In fact, no one should go there. Nothing RFKJ’s clowns say should be taken at face value.

There is no need to fix this headline. We could not agree more! #SaveCDC #ACIP #SavePublicHealth #VaccinesSaveLives

As of 8am CDC's ACIP website does not have the proposed vote language for today's COVID vaccine recommendation posted. How is the public able to engage and provide informed comments? I testified before Senator Cassidy and @sanders.senate.gov on Wednesday- this is not radical transparency.

Day 1 of September’s ACIP meeting did not disappoint — the chaos continues! #SaveHHS #ACIP #SavePublicHealth #VaccinesSaveLives

In a late-night email, CDC revoked remote work accommodations for employees with disabilities—without explanation. This illegal move forces workers to choose between health and jobs. Blanket bans are harmful and unlawful. When rights are stripped from some, protections for all are weakened.

⚠️ NOBODY at CDC FORCES ANYONE to take ANYTHING ⚠️ Thank you for your attention to this matter.

🔥 “I could have kept the office, the title, but I would have lost the one thing that can’t be replaced - my integrity.” 🔥 They are going to need to bring the fire department 🚒 to this hearing because Dr Monarez is on fire with her words. 🧯

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Thank @drdebhoury.bsky.social for your opening remarks at the Senate hearing this morning. Thank you for speaking up and out in support of science, public health and CDC scientists.

Dr Moneraz was on fire with her opening words to the hearing. She spoke her truth. She is standing up for science and public health. Thank you. We heard you and we saw you.

We will be listening and watching this hearing today. Dr Monarez and @drdebhoury.bsky.social go speak your truth and know that there is a lot of support behind, beside, and in front of you both.

DELIVERY! RFK Jr's ACIP gets an "F" We give RFK Jr.’s newly named committee members in charge of vaccine approvals (ACIP) an overall FAILING grade. It's filled with the people who touted mis/dis-information throughout the COVID pandemic. Brief description of each new member in thread 1/6 🧵

More like the headline should read: "The Trump Administration Pushes Scientists Aside at Tax Payer Expense" www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/...

It's official. HHS has announced 5 new members to ACIP. Committee meets this Thurs & Fri. ✔️ Catherine M. Stein, PhD ✔️ Evelyn Griffin, MD ✔️ Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA ✔️ Kirk Milhoan, MD, PhD ✔️ Raymond Pollak, MD, FACS, FRCS We will share more about new additions by RFK Jr soon.

Introducing: National Public Health Coalition. We're a group of public health professionals committed to educating about & advocating for protection & advancement of public health as a vital government service past, present, & future. 1/2

Congratulations to The Pitt on winning the Emmy for best drama. If you are lucky, your doctor will be an asshole like Dr. Robby. Jokes aside, The Pitt provides a realistic view of what doctors are confronting every day. It’s time to #FireRFKjr

Let’s not dwell on unpleasantness, my dears. Dwelling is unproductive, don’t you think? The best way to move forward is to carry on with smiles, staplers, & soft hum of fluorescent lights. You will return to the office expeditiously, & be most grateful for the opportunity.🪄✨ IYKYK! #USAnotRFK #CDC

So @wsj.com has not been so truthful or kind to civil servants or HHS lately. We found this oldie, clearly with amazing graphics. Save the graphics while you can. graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d... Data from www.tycho.pitt.edu.

Take some time today to schedule vaccination reminders. Remember to schedule vaccines for yourself and family members. Vaccines save lives.

See full thread for more info.

We have heard from multiple sources that RIFs of the remaining coms and policy staff will be taking place, although nothing is set in stone till it happens. Please spread the word and contact your legislators ! These 53 people are doing extremely important work. Let’s try to keep it that way!

In an interesting turns of events, Senator Cassidy has asked RFK Jr to encourage DTaP vaccination due to an increase in whooping cough cases in Louisiana. Sen Cassidy sent RFK Jr a letter on Sept 12, 2025. How do you think RFK Jr will respond? #USAnotRFK #VaccinesSaveLives #publichealth

Helping to cleanse everyone's feed with a #Caturday picture.

🚨 Today is the LAST DAY you can leave a public comment for the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee, which meets Sep 18. Reports suggest they may falsely link vaccines to child deaths and restrict vaccines to ages 75 and up. You can submit a written comment here: www.regulations.gov/document/CDC...

👀 Lots of questions here. VAERS is a system that generates hypotheses. It is designed to be a very low threshold system for everyone, patients and providers, to submit adverse events for additional review and to generate more study.

Read the full thread and check out the video evidence. Resistance comes in many forms.

💉🧵The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a CDC/FDA public reporting system where anyone can report any event occurring after receipt of a vaccine. VAERS is designed to identify areas for further investigation. VAERS data cannot prove causation. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Update from reporters: Bloomberg article below. And axios : www.axios.com/2025/09/12/c... A sole source contract, YIKES. These were not happening last year. This is highly suspect. Why? Who is it going to? Is there really no other company that could do the work?

🎉🎉🎉Shout out to Kaiser Permanente - they recently updated their website to say that they WILL be covering COVID-19 vaccines all of their members 6 months old and up!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you KP - let's hope their announcement kicks off more like it kp.org/covidvaccine

💔 Child dies in CA from rare measles complication, SSPE. This case, child was infected w/ measles as infant BEFORE eligible to receive vaccine. ✅It’s important for those around unvaccinated infants be vaccinated to protect babies. 🛑 No child should suffer or die of measles. Vaccines Save Lives

💙 Another child dies from measles 💙 🍼 Infected with measles as an infant BEFORE they were eligible to receive the vaccine. 🧠 They developed SSPE - a rare but fatal complication that shows 2-10 years after infection. ‼️ THIS is we why need need vaccine mandates. Save our babies. #SacktheQuack

🗞️ Media release from The George Washington University announces new report which finds FY 2026 budget cuts to CDC would lead to losses for state and local economies. ✅ States losing over 1,000 jobs each could include GA, CA, FL, TX, AZ, IL, NY, & PA. ✅ 42,000 jobs lost nationwide could happen.

Hearing lots of success stories from people able to get COVID vaccines from CVS MinuteClinics, even if most other pharmacies in their state are restricting access. Please give it a try if you are having difficulty accessing COVID vaccines in your state!

This weekend, Secretary Kennedy claimed that there haven’t been any real successes out of HHS in the past 30 to 40 years. We disagree! Swipe to see just a few of the major public health successes from HHS over the past few decades. #USAnotRFK #ResignRFK #SavePublicHealth

Thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been harmed or traumatized by this shooting. Pointing out, Trump acknowledged this faster than the domestic terrorism attack on CDC buildings. Note, Trump has yet to recognize the shooting of federal buildings on CDC’s main campus in GA last month.

ICYMI, last week: "Kristol, editor at-large of The Bulwark, who was chief of staff for Vice President Dan Quayle during George H.W. Bush administration, sounded off after fiery exchange in Washington, D.C." "'I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,' Kristol posted." #USAnotRFK #saveHHS

RFK Jr, we could have worked together. We love health & making sure Americans are healthy is our jam. But you had to go & lie to Americans & destroy public health. No, we don’t like you. Best read and viewed while listening to "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" by Taylor Swift. #USAnotRFK #saveHHS

Alert! Mark Calendars for Sept 17. Dr Monarez will be testifying in front of Congress, along with @drdebhoury.bsky.social. We will be watching. We know they will speak truth to power. Enjoy this gifted article. Get popcorn & drinks on your grocery list now. #saveHHS #USAnotRFK #savepublichealth

This is AMAZING! Please listen to the full song. We all need a laugh. This song will not disappoint. Share widely to spread joy and laughter.

Public Health data to the RESCUE. "Infectious disease forecasters at Stanford University who recently looked at the effects of falling vaccination rates across the country found that in Florida alone, a 15% decline in vaccinations against measles over 25 years would lead to 1 million measles cases."

We have discovered a theme among all of the HHS Sec RFK Jr Congressional Hearings. To be honest, RFK Jr’s cousin, Caroline Kennedy, told us before confirmation that he “lacks any relevant government, financial, management, or medical experience”. It’s time we believe her & remove him. #USAnotRFK

@who.int thanks for standing with us. We appreciate your kind words towards our agency (CDC). We see you. We hear you.

CDC announces a salmonella outbreak linked to Metabolic home delivery meals that has sickened people in 10 states and hospitalized at least 7. CDC announcement here: www.cdc.gov/salmonella/o...

We love lists. Here's ‘state of CDC, HHS, or public health’ podcast list w/ five from us to start. Add yours in comments. 1) “Dr. Demetre Daskalakis Speaks Out After CDC Resignation” Meidas Health with Dr Vin Gupta open.spotify.com/episode/6IOe...

RFK Jr. went on Fox News today to claim that HHS has had “no successes” in the past 40 years. I beg to differ. Figure from Lei et al., NEJM 2020. Link below.

3 CDC leaders resigned. We asked them why & what’s next for trust & public health. Guests include @drdemetre.bsky.social, Debra Houry, Dan Jernigan, Travis Tripodi, Aaron Everitt, Elizabeth Frost, and Tracy Hollister. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #WhyShouldITrustYou #CDC #MAHA #Podcast

We agree @warnock.senate.gov! GA representing! Sec HHS RFK Jr is a hazard to all Americans & needs to resign before he does anymore damage. Call reps & demand removal of RFK Jr. The 5 calls app can help with numbers & talking points. #USAnotRFK #publichealthsaveslives #CDCsaveslives #saveHHS
