Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

It’s not just pediatricians who are dealing with this. I wrote about my experience when it comes to trying to get patients vaccines It’s not only difficult but it is causing a rift in the patient-doctor relationship www.statnews.com/2025/12/10/a...

You can glean the intent of this endeavor when the creator says they want to take advantage of the existing regulatory system for supplements. Somewhat unserious.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

“”They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.” This is exactly what RFK Jr wants 😢

I’m reading a book about how the plague returned to India in the 90s because all the public health infrastructure had been dismantled and, well, here we are America.

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

This op-ed by @krutikakuppalli.bsky.social is profoundly worrying. Identity-driven opposition to vaccines that's fueled by misinformation & political polarization is impeding the capacity of doctors to effectively care for their patients. www.statnews.com/2025/12/10/a...

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial." "Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

For anyone who believes the private sector can replace public investment in science: no, it's never going to come close. It will never be cheaper to not have cures for diseases or to be beholden to someone for them. Health is a public service.
