White people (like me), watch this until you really understand 👀

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Children are still starving in #Gaza — we mustn’t let the farcical “ceasefire” blind us to the ongoing genocide.

Wow. Kindergarten classrooms in >70% of US counties lack herd immunity against measles.

5 things I will be watching closely in global public health in 2026: 1).US vaccine advisory chaos and outbreaks 2).Mpox recombination, evolution and endemic spread 3).Global HIV, TB, and NTD resurgence 4).Global surveillance amid funding cuts to CDC and WHO 5).Continued H5N1 mammalian adaptation

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

One of the biggest challenges in public health & environment-related fields is the miscommunication of population-scale results to the individual-level This is often caused by the desire to formulate “action” relevant to people’s lives but ends up blaming individuals for things not in their control

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Wow

The MAGA/MAHA cult that is dismantling public health is having deadly consequences

As an educator, as a fellow woman in science, I’m fucking horrified that Lia Smith who was just a year from graduation felt her only option was to take her own life. I lay her death at the feet of all the people hounding trans women athletes like her, you fucking monsters
