Ah yes. Those diseases are in such high demand. I’m so glad we rescued measles from being eliminated. It was so unjust. Clearly it deserved to go on murdering and disabling children.

Is your baby TOO healthy? The first years too sedate for you? Do you think a stint in the NICU will be a fun change of pace? Show your baby that life IS pain with Rotavirus! Rotavirus is a contagious infection in the guts that causes vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.

RFK Jr. and his anti-vax ACIP are responsible for doing harm to generations of Americans living in the shadow of his anti-science leadership, and Hep. B is just the tip of the iceberg It's time for Congress to impeach and remove RFK Jr. No ifs, no buts. Enough is enough. #ImpeachtheQuack

One (of so so many) things that made me angry today was Retsef Levi suggesting people "ask their friends" as a way to gauge HepB prevalence in the community*, when a reason it's currently low is *all the effort we've put into vaccination over several decades*. I miss actual experts on ACIP.

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

🚨 Trigger warning 🚨 To 🧠🪱, various politicians, and reporters who are mis-reporting and minimizing the CDC shooting (some innocently, & others clearly not): A shooting "near" CDC instead of *at* CDC is like an abusive partner saying: “I didn’t hit you — I just punched the wall next to your head.”

The 17 experts who were ousted from an HHS vaccine committee have published a commentary on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, saying that Robert Kennedy, Jr., and his self-picked panel are abandoning rigorous scientific review and open deliberation.  www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Best read as a reasoned call to action, not a question. And we will need vivid terms for where we are going — oligarchy and fascism — as well as what we are seeking — freedom and equality. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

As upset as I am that RAINN caved (with seemingly public awareness), I’m livid that they were placed in this position in the first place. newrepublic.com/post/195327/...

Good morning 🌞 – some inspo to start your day: It’s people like Dr. Brittany Charlton, a Harvard professor and public health researcher, who remind us that science, equity, and truth are worth fighting for. 💪🏽🌍 Her lawsuit is protecting LGBTQ+ health, science, and democracy. 🏳️‍🌈⚖️

Please see below strong Statement from @apha.org Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD: "I ask my colleagues to join me and speak up. Secretary Robert Kennedy is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired." #PublicHealth #EpiSky #SocialEpi www.apha.org/news-and-med...

Go @nickmetheny.bsky.social and colleagues!

Adorable. The Boston ducks have protest signs #handsoff

@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social is right. You can humiliate and fire us. But we will not stay down. Because we truly believe in our mission. We fight for people. We fight for kids. For the right to survive and the hope to thrive. Goodnight friends. Get some rest. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

There is no other way to say this: Today is the day the CDC was essentially dissolved. What's left is a husk. People will die as a direct result. www.wired.com/story/cdc-gu...

Today’s carnage has let me to change my professional goals from researching partner violence solutions to a) supporting younger, more talented researchers so they can do that work, and b) teaching public health students the skills and knowledge they will need to rebuild what we’ve just broken.

Tl;dr: PRAMS asks “DEI” questions Lol these people aren’t pro-life

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Statement from @joanalker1.bsky.social CCF's executive director on the #Medicaid cuts included in the House GOP's budget resolution: ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/02/12/s...

Staff at the CDC are bracing for a significant reduction in the work force that appears to be targeting staff with the fewest worker protections.

I (personally) am not familiar with the author, nor do I have any idea how to fact check this, but given all that has happened in the past 12 days, I will believe this is true unless shown evidence to the contrary. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
