It is easy to feel discouraged. But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed. And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. 💚 time.com/7338714/dr-d...

ICYMI: don't miss this critical reporting on the fossil fuel industry's involvement in crippling the EU's green laws.
