The measles website at CDC continues to share updated data. 1514 cases reported in 2025. 3 deaths. CDC scientists working hard but have to manage vaccine attacks from @SecKennedy and his minions. This will be the year that ends US’s measles elimination status. Not one word at #UNGA.

🪑SIT DOWN:🪑 We AGREE with President Trump on Operation Warp Speed success & positive impact of COVID-19 vaccines on us all. RFK Jr & his vaccine advisory panel (ACIP) DON'T agree with Trump & us. This is a shame for President Trump’s legacy, Operation Warp Speed, & life-saving innovation. 1/2 🧵

Meet the newest CDC hire. Retracted studies do not equal gold standard science.

No, doctors don't get rich off vaccines. www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

I challenge you to test your knowledge about the state of Americans’ health. You might (or might not?) be surprised…. wapo.st/46VMWnZ

“He’s (Secretary Kennedy) becoming dangerous to the health of our nation”- my conversation on the Common Health podcast with @csis.org about recent times at the CDC and reflections from the Senate hearing

Last week, Dr. Debra Houry was testifying before Congress. This week, she’s talking with @drjoshs.bsky.social on Public Health On Call. Dr. Houry reflects on her time at the CDC, how the agency has changed, and her “heartbreaking” decision to leave. podcast.publichealth.jhu.edu/951-dr-debra...

CDC’s Former Top Doc Debra Houry Speaks Out After Senate Testimony www.forbes.com/sites/arthur...

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

Video discussion with @wsj.com on the past 2 days of ACIP meetings and how this could translate into future vaccine restrictions for children

Sadly, the CDC social media accounts are posting misinformation - #ObGyn + #MedSky + #IDSky. I will try and make this brief - we have five years worth data but I think I can summarize in a few posts.

Thank you @ameracadpeds.bsky.social for stepping up and filling the gap during this critical time for the health of our children

Spoke with @anacabrera.bsky.social today about today's ACIP meeting including changes to access to MMRV in children under age 4 as well as some takeaways from the Senate hearing Wednesday

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.

In June, an ACIP member said that 250 pediatric flu deaths were no big deal. Maybe today we will find out that a handful of hepatitis B related cancers, transplants, and deaths are also not a big deal to them either. Welcome to the new public health. We are aligned to a manifesto, not science.

"I'm very concerned we are going to see vaccines removed off the (vaccine) schedule..." Expect more cases of measles and possbly even polio, predicts @drdebhoury.bsky.social in an extraordinarily candid interview with @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...

"They're feeling very traumatized." Dr. Debra Houry, Former CDC Chief Medical Officer who recently resigned in protest, testified today at a Senate hearing. She shared with Jen Psaki what she's hearing from current employees at the agency.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s former chief medical officer told lawmakers Wednesday that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. should resign. https://to.pbs.org/3I6qTSa

Thank you @firedbutfighting.bsky.social and @altcdc.altgov.info for what you do as well. Honored to use my voice to advocate for protecting public health in our country

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.

proud of fellow EM physician @drdebhoury.bsky.social for standing up today and defending why she left the CDC. I stand by you!

“I resigned because CDC leaders were reduced to rubber stamps, supporting policies not based in science, and putting American lives at risk. Secretary Kennedy censored CDC science, politicized its processes and stripped leaders of independence,” said @drdebhoury.bsky.social.

“Americans expect their government to be ready, to tell the truth even when the evidence is uncomfortable, and to keep partisan fights out of the doctor’s office. The current leadership of HHS is failing those expectations” - @drdebhoury.bsky.social in her written testimony for tomorrow’s hearing

This is tomorrow! Dr. Monarez and @drdebhoury.bsky.social -- thank you in advance for speaking truth to power on behalf of on behalf of science, public health, and the American people.

Congratulations to Noah Wyle and the cast and crew of #ThePitt for a huge night at the 2025 Emmys! 🌟 Outstanding and well deserved wins across the board. Thank you for all that you do for EM! 👏 @hbomax

5/ Right now flu is pretty quiet, but we will likely see the season begin soon. The new flu vaccines are in pharmacies, and are recommended for everyone over 6 months old, every year. It's best to get it between now and mid-October.

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

Four physicians who quit the CDC after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ousted its director tell Robert Costa they fear the health secretary is undermining public health — and call the agency’s new COVID vaccine guidance for kids and pregnant women “unsupported by global evidence.” cbsn.ws/4ndw6X2

This detail on doing politics is important: “The tactical brilliance of Houry, Daskalakis, & Jernigan’s coordinated resignations galvanized many in the public health world, &, more importantly, woke up politicians on both sides of the aisle who have slumbered during this long siege of the CDC.”

Thank you @acepnation.bsky.social for standing together with us to protect patients and the health of our communities. Proud to be an emergency physician

Thank you @apha.org for seeing us and speaking up and out for CDC, public health, and science.

While all eyes are on the CDC, let’s not forget about the challenges to the new science that will inform their future health recommendations - and our country’s & globe’s future health: www.statnews.com/2025/09/04/n...

The changes at CDC are alarming and threaten our nation’s public health infrastructure. Adding preventable stress to our health care system is unacceptable. Read the joint statement from leading physician organizations via the link below. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3V1KMMX

3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

Appreciated the conversation with @anacabrera.bsky.social during the Secretary’s hearing about conflicts of interest, misinformation, and lack of engagement with our senior scientists

One of our fearless leaders @drdebhoury.bsky.social wrote an op-ed. It was published today in the @washingtonpost.com through @postopinions.bsky.social. Thank you Dr Houry! Please continue to speak truth to power. We stand with you and along side you.

A few of our pictures from last week's clap-out. We needed to see these. We hope these warm your heart a little bit. Make some joy for yourself and others. #saveCDC #savepublichealth #saveHHS @drdebhoury.bsky.social @drdemetre.bsky.social

From @nationaljournal.com interview: My message to RFKJr: Listen and get briefed by the CDC scientists, learn more about the agency directly from the people on the ground; and it is not helpful to say "Don't trust the experts", further eroding trust. www.nationaljournal.com/s/729483/qa-...

“The public must know that CDC guidance is grounded in the best available science and communicated openly and honestly, even when the science evolves. That means data must be shared quickly, uncertainty acknowledged directly and political pressure resisted.“ - @drdebhoury.bsky.social

Great article by my former colleague ADM Brett Giroir who led Operation Warp Speed: "This speed and precision... to recognize and eliminate threats − from COVID to cancer − provides America a critical weapon against pandemics, bioweapons, and other deadly diseases" www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
