The scoop on aspirin and primary prevention open.substack.com/pub/erictopo...

Good reference document. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Concise summary--a fork in the road is coming up for food policy. Hoping for the best in the new year. www.foodpolitics.com/2025/12/a-fo...

Happy New Year--Dr Offit has written a concise summary that makes so much sense. Wishing the best for this year. open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

Its been fascinating to watch football, a sport that seems to bring America together. Almost 100% of advertising on food is for the ultraprocessed type. And the Bowl games that don't have the traditional names like Rose, Orange, Gator are named after ultraprocessed food.

Well done and important to digest. There is plenty of human failing in any human endeavor, but the narrative and the reality in this specific situation needs sunlight. substack.com/home/post/p-...

It took a lot of imagination to maximize the human suffering while not saving any money when the dust settled. Hope this is wisely read. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

The straight scoop. www.foodpolitics.com/2025/12/cong...

Great article. Needs to be said over and over. Nice graphic too. www.statnews.com/2025/12/18/r...

So glad to see this article. Needs to be said over and over. Nice graphic also! www.statnews.com/2025/12/18/r...

Good summary from YLE. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

I hope health systems and AMC's will embrace primary care--CMS is moving in that direction, but leaders of our systems could be a lot more aggressive and it would make a difference (in my humble opinion-realizing I'm a cardiologist!). robcaliff272993.substack.com/p/a-challeng...

This is an excellent post.

As usual, I agree with Dr. Wachter's analysis-always learn from his work. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Passionate and well written note. The gap in longevity and functional status as a product of social policies is increasingly striking. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

An important piece of the puzzle. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/pre...

I hope a lot of people read this report from the DiResta for the Carnegie Endowment.

I agree with Dr Offit on the debate issue--this is not a matter for performative displays. But we need to keep working on ways to communicate outside of the scienctists/clinicians bubble. open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

Another good YLE summary. The tripledemic is on the way. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

I enjoy my eggs and as a teenager delivered eggs door to door. Common sense advice from a real expert. www.foodpolitics.com/2025/12/http...

Seems like the "triple-demic" is ready to take off again. open.substack.com/pub/caitlinr...

“We don’t get to choose what we inherit,” Wang said. “But we do get to choose what we pass on.”

After a CDC panel voted to end the universal U.S. recommendation for the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, clinicians and epidemiologists worry the move could reverse decades of progress against a disease that still kills tens of thousands each year. @celinegounder.com reports ⤵️

Part 2 of a 3 part series on hopes for our health systems to have more impact on health. robcaliff272993.substack.com/p/a-challeng...

Yes, this will be interesting. www.foodpolitics.com/2025/12/san-...

This will be a substack worth following. Points here about the complexity of messaging (or lack thereof) from HHS are so important. open.substack.com/pub/bruceles...

Imagine a world with no experts.... open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi...

YLE covers a lot here--most of it concerning, but no reason to give up. A winner is a loser who kept on trying. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

I agree with this. Of course, its all about the methods. I'd go one step further--we need a post-market evidence generation system that incldudes pragmatic RCTs as part of this RWE paradigm. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

First of a 3 part series unloading my views about prevention and primary care, including my hope that AMCs and health systems will change course. substack.com/@robcaliff27...

When this gets to U.S. our low vaccination rates won't be helpful. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Good discussion of our NEJM perspective from almost all living FDA Commissioners and Interims. www.cnbc.com/video/2025/1...

This is highly recommended. Puts together critical concepts. open.substack.com/pub/drjessic...

This is good. open.substack.com/pub/drjessic...

Almost all living former FDA Commissioners and Acting Commissioners collaborated to express specific concerns about vaccine policy. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Good basic analysis of where medical AI is headed substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Many others have more expertise on informed consent, but I'm convinced we can do better, so I offer my ideas for consideration. substack.com/@robcaliff27...

100%. I'll be posting on this next week, but Dr. Tchang nailed it. bsky.app/profile/jama...

Concerning message from WSJ editorial board www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

I was tipped off that this is a deep fake. i guess its a sign of times that i don't know if it is or is not, but Gemeni reports that its not actually a Hinton lecture, but an AI generated lecture to make a point. I guess it did just that--i was impressed by the lecture.

Good message from Holden Thorpe. Happy Thanksgiving. open.substack.com/pub/holdenth...

A good one. The linked articles are also good. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

This nails it in my opinion. The big deal in AI is being explicit about the values that matter. Hinton is not talking about Google, despite the header--he's talking about where we are with AI and what we'd better pay attention to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOC1...

For people seeking information on hormone therapy I highly recommend this back and forth between 2 experts at translating information into knowledge. vajenda.substack.com/p/jennifer-g...

I found this to be a fascinating read from my own institution. open.substack.com/pub/dontaylo...

Hopefully this can be turned around. www.foodpolitics.com/2025/11/not-...

Hard to believe, but seems to be for real. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Another good one from Lisa Rosenbaum. You get what you pay for? I am hearing more people in different sectors articulate the serious nature of our US primary care inadequacy. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Good people speaking out. open.substack.com/pub/theunbia...
