#Science isn’t just labs and papers—it’s our future. Every halted grant, every lost researcher, every frozen project is a cure delayed, a vaccine postponed, knowledge unmade. If we want breakthroughs that change lives, we need steady support, not disruption. #PublicHealth

For centuries, leprosy was not just a disease—it was a societal verdict. Entire communities abandoned patients, laws sanctioned exile, stigma was law. Today, it’s curable. Yet ignorance & fear still let stigma persist. When will public health truly outrun our prejudices #ChronicIlnnes #PublicHealth

🧵 THREAD: Lead is poisoning millions — and most people don’t know it. We tell parents to watch sugar. Salt. Ultra-processed food. But lead — one of the most toxic substances on Earth — is still ending up in spices, protein powders, applesauce. This should not be normal. #PublicHealth #ChronicIlnness

Lead is still in our food, air, and homes. It kills ~5M people a year and damages 800M children’s brains — mostly quietly, mostly among the poor. Bangladesh showed it can be eliminated fast and cheaply. This is a policy failure, not a mystery. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness #PublicHealthAsia

Scotland: vaccinated women, zero cervical cancer cases. None. Zero. Vax haters will show up with excuses. Ignore them. Science just saved lives. Now imagine if every country did this. Millions of lives, decades of suffering, prevented. HPV vaccination isn’t optional. It’s justice. #VaccinesWorks

Water violence has nearly doubled since 2022. Climate change, corruption, failing infrastructure, and politics are fueling conflicts from Gaza to Central Asia. With global freshwater demand set to outstrip supply by 2030, urgent action on treaties, rights, and climate-resilient water is needed.

The world isn’t just breaking—it’s building also. ⚡ Fusion energy inches closer 🌱 Nature fights back on pollution 💊 Health breakthroughs tackle the untreatable Progress is happening. Real. Measurable. Hopeful. #PublicHealth

Bad habits? No. It’s the food system. Processed foods, hidden salt, restaurant meals—killing millions quietly. Low-salt diets save lives, yet guidance, support, policy are missing. #PublicHealth

#CleanAir #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

30–60 min of walking, cycling, or running each week can cut mortality risk by 20–30%. Moderate, consistent activity matters more than extremes. Make active cities & workplaces the default. #PublicHealth #MoveMore

Trains gleam, kids sink, workers freeze, rivers choke. Progress that ignores people isn’t progress. Let’s build an India and a world where every life counts—and every child, worker, and river is seen.

Bill Gates + AI are coming to your doctor’s office. Health records, IDs, payments, everything linked. Sounds smart… until you realize: all health data, in one place, globally. Promise of better care. Risk of a single global point of failure. Should we be this casual about our health? #PublicHealth

If a country went bankrupt, we’d demand audits and spending caps. Why don’t we do the same for water—before aquifers run dry?

When food becomes math, nobody wins. 🍲❌ #CaloriesVsCulture #FoodIsLife #PublicHealth

Chronic stress and negativity don’t just reflect the system—they reinforce it. The brain wires what it repeats, then generates more stress in return. Breaking the loop is individual and collective work. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

TB is preventable and treatable. But outbreaks expose something deeper: Who decides “risk is low”? Who gets paid to stay home? Who carries the cost of caution? That’s health security. #PublicHealth

Emerging neuroscience shows physical activity can weaken traumatic memory circuits (BDNF, neurogenesis) But the missing variable is urban design. Cities shape daily movement. Should mental health policy treat city design as a neurobiological exposure—like air or noise? #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

🚨 Trauma sticks. Memories replay like a horror movie you can’t pause. Science now shows: movement can literally help your brain forget pain. 🧠💪 Cardio, strength—your body rewires fear, anxiety & even addictive patterns. Start small. Move. Heal. Your brain is listening. #mentalhealth #PublicHealth

Where do pollution-related costs land in our system today? Which budget absorbs asthma admissions, sick leave, workforce burnout? Who pays when prevention is delayed? #PublicHealth

Most vaccine-hesitant people aren’t anti-vaccine—they’re worried: “Will it work? Will it hurt me?” Two-thirds eventually got vaccinated once concerns were answered or access was easier. Trust & clear info > guilt or shame. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth

Youth don’t get a redo on lung development… #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

This chart tells a quiet truth. The blue line = babies who lived. The red line = babies who didn’t — without vaccines. Millions of parents never had to bury a child because vaccines worked. That’s not theory. That’s survival. #PublicHealth #Vaccineswork

Cities quietly decide children’s health. Traffic fumes. Heat. No shade. No safe play. These aren’t “urban issues”—they shape lungs, brains, and futures for life. If a city isn’t built for children, it isn’t built for tomorrow. #PublicHealth #ChildHealth #HealthPolicy

Paracetamol in pregnancy does not cause autism, ADHD, or cognitive harm — latest evidence. ✅ Use safely, short-term, lowest effective dose. ⚠️ This is educational, not medical advice. #PublicHealth

The uncomfortable truth of “refreshing, energizing drinks.” Brain reward loops, insulin spikes, rising obesity—especially among young people. This is what powers billion-dollar beverage growth. As brands celebrate choice and freedom, how often do we talk about addiction by design? #PublicHealth

The Gates Foundation announced a record $9 billion budget for 2026, alongside plans to reduce staff by up to 500 positions over five years as it prepares to close in 2045. The move follows Bill Gates’ pledge to spend $200 billion over 20 years and give away most of his wealth. #PublicHealth

#PublicHealth These cuts may be very risky for certain populations such as Sex workers and MSM. It can erode the health gains of decades.

Pandemics aren’t solved by exit strategies. They’re solved by cooperation. #PublicHealth

This chart isn’t about how much countries spend on health. It’s about what systems deliver for children. Some save lives with modest budgets. Others spend—and still lose too many. Policy design matters more than GDP. #PublicHealth

Harmful drinks are cheaper, not healthier. When sugary drinks & alcohol cost less than healthy options, we don’t just lose money — we lose prevention, protection for kids, and future health. Rising NCDs aren’t just personal choices — they’re a policy failure. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

Two diets, same calories. One is mostly ultra-processed, one mostly real food. Guess what? People on real food lost twice the weight and naturally ate less. Your body isn’t lazy. UPFs are designed to make you overeat. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

One long workout on the weekend vs 3 shorter ones during the week: Both reduced fat. Both improved fitness. The best exercise plan is the one you can actually keep. #Publichealth #ChronicIllness

Cars are literally engineered to blast pollution at human lung height — and we’re acting surprised? 40% more fumes for pedestrians, kids, wheelchair users. This isn’t transport. It’s slow, legal poisoning by design. People must demand safer vehicles and cleaner air. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

We tell people “exercise daily” knowing time is the biggest barrier. Science now shows once-weekly HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training is safe, effective, and doable. #lifestyle #HealthyHabits #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

Weight didn’t change much. Belly fat did. Fitness did. That’s what lowers heart disease risk. The scale isn’t the full story — your waist matters more. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

The journey of a cigarette.

You don’t need daily workouts to get healthier. 75 minutes of intense exercise per week — even in one day — reduced body fat and waist size. Busy lives need realistic solutions. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

A mother in Delhi has a question for 900 MILLION Indians: "Did you vote for my child to grow up breathing poison?" What would you say to her?

Public health only looks expensive until cooperation collapses. Leaving global health and development institutions may save money on paper — but it raises the real cost: delayed outbreaks, weaker surveillance, and risks that always come back home. Prevention is invisible. Failure isn’t #publichealth

The water from your tap makes you sick. Doctors try antibiotics. They don’t work. That’s typhoid — spread through unsafe food and water. New strains now resist last-resort drugs. This is how everyday life becomes risky again. Clean water, vaccines, early care matter What would you fix first? #Health

Circadian health = how well your body’s internal clock is aligned with day and night. It affects sleep, metabolism, hormones, mood, even heart health. Late meals, irregular sleep, constant screens confuse this system. The damage is slow — but real. When we live matters, not just what we do. #Health

If you’re checking your phone 100+ times a day, that’s not lack of discipline. That’s attention engineering doing exactly what it was built to do. Maximize profit. Externalize harm. The system works. People pay the price. #PublicHealth #mentalHealth #wellbeing #ChronicIllness

System design failed us: unhealthy is affordable, healthy isn’t. #PublicHealth #ChronicIllness

Plastic doesn’t just pollute beaches. It messes with how the ocean cools the Earth. More plastic → weaker climate protection → more heat. This is the bill we pass to our kids. #ClimateChange #PublicHealth

The ocean helps cool the planet. Microplastics are breaking that system. When plastic pollution interferes with Earth’s temperature control, this stops being an “environment” issue. It’s a climate risk we created. #climatechange #publichealth

RFK´s long awaited Dietary Guidelines just dropped. Please drop your comments and thought? My key question is about bridging the gap between paper and the plate. #PublicHealth
