I am a pediatric ICU physician. I am filled with dread knowing viruses and bacteria will provide the education to families who don't vaccinate their children. And the cost will be dear.

Reminder: you can get MMR and DTaP boosters at most pharmacies without a prescription. If you get it this week, you could have a nice antibody titer for the holidays! 🎁🎁

Missing my grandma who used to stop everything she was doing if she heard someone criticize vaccines because so many of her childhood friends slowly disappeared after they got polio, and ask people if “surviving” polio was really a positive outcome or if they had no idea what they were talking about

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science. We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.

This is all-hands on deck. RFK Jr. wants to destroy vaccination in the US. COVID and HBV vaccination were the first step. These diseases WILL come back. And your personal vaccination status is important, but so is the coverage in your community. So up your game and fight. www.vox.com/2015/3/25/82...

It was bad at FDA 5 months ago, it has now become a total disaster. 90% of senior staff gone.

I know there's a lot of news but if you can tear yourself away from the CDC vaccine committee today — you should really read this series on how the Trump administration has upended science in just 10 months, from my incredibly talented colleagues: www.statnews.com/american-sci...

On this World AIDS Day, we leave you all with a message from @drdemetre.bsky.social former Director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. #WorldAIDSDay #2025 #AIDS #HIV #PublicHealth #Prevention #Treatment #Remember

Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:

Among the things I am thankful for is the courage and patriotism of all the federal workers who blew the whistle on agency policies that harm Americans, and those who support us. #CourageIsContagious Art by @drrabbithole.bsky.social

Reminder: Salmonella — even the most dangerous strains — perishes at 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and a meat thermometer is the only surefire way to tell if your turkey has reached that temperature. 🦃 Stay safe this Thanksgiving:

Entire creation of new data that has no bearing upon any histological relevance. Remember LLM models are not open and we have no understanding of what NeuN, GFAP, or DAPI means in biological space within the LLM. This is nonsense. But it looks at first blush as "real" to the uninformed. Scary.

wth?!

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

From school funding to city government, local elections make a big difference. This #ElectionDay, local elections and propositions are on the ballot — show up tonight, be heard, and encourage a neighbor to do the same.

The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world. That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness. And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word www.scripps.edu/news-and-eve...

Hey #Georgia!! Hate high electric bills?! Listen to this really important news about how YOU can help in an upcoming election!! Your vote rrreeeeeeaaalllyyy matters Thanks @hankgreen.bsky.social #galege

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

All politics is local. Vote out your state reps who peddle in this dangerous anti-science nonsense.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

What, if anything, did the No Kings protests accomplish? I've seen that pop up in everything from genuine inquiry to sneering dismissal. For anyone asking or facing that question, here's an answer. Everything isn't all fixed, of course. But the protests accomplished at least these seven things:

No money for pediatric brain cancer research, $200 million for a new Trump ballroom www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

#A_NewHope ✊

No matter where you live or if you’ve never protested before, there’s a local No Kings Day event for you. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that We The People will never bow down to a wannabe king: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Fellow scientists — I want to see you all in the street on the 18th!! This is existential. Keep up the fight for science, democracy, and truth. No Kings!

Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. Election experts have concerns.

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly: 1) Organize and join protests 2) Support media that isn't backing down 3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court 4) Give to food banks :(

It's going up to $40 billion. USAID's budget last year was $28 billion.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.
