As a pediatrician, I have treated kids with measles, bacterial meningitis, and whooping cough, and let me tell you, these kids are miserable. Vaccines can help prevent and save lives from these diseases. www.today.com/health/news/...

When people start rationing their healthcare bad things happen. Ask anyone who has to pay for insulin. Hell, people already literally die in this country because asthma inhalers still cost $50 with insurance because of corporate price manipulation.

AMWA joins leading medical organizations—AAP, ACOG, AAFP, ACEP, SMFM, & NAM—in reaffirming the safety of acetaminophen use during pregnancy. Rigorous, long-term research—including a 2024 JAMA study—has found no credible link between it & autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability. vist.ly/472ra

Paracetamol remains an important option to treat pain or fever in pregnant women. Following rigorous assessment of the available scientific data, we find no evidence that taking paracetamol during pregnancy causes autism in children. Read more 👉 www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/use-...

There is truth to the idea that media outlets are drawn to negative, sensational news. Everyone writes about Florida eliminating vaccine mandates. Yet we have a letter signed by over 1,000 Florida physicians opposing this decision, and no outlet would published it. They don't even respond at all.

Even if ‘only’ for new applicants, impact on medical training is massive, and int’l grads frequently work in underserved communities “Currently, over 30 per cent of medical residents in the US are international graduates, and around 10,000 of 43,000 residency spots are filled by H-1B visa holders.”

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

The @idsainfo.bsky.social and multiple other orgs have a joint statement calling for the removal of the HHS secretary Would love to see @accpchest.bsky.social or @atscommunity.bsky.social sign this We need our collective voices now more than ever #PCCMSky www.idsociety.org/news--public...

New statement: IDSA, APHA and partners call for RFK Jr. to resign: "Our country needs leadership that will promote open, honest dialogue — not disregard decades of lifesaving science, spread misinformation, reverse medical progress and decimate programs that keep us safe." bit.ly/3JOgDya

The AMA strongly opposes Florida’s plan to end all vaccine mandates, and urges Florida to reconsider. This unprecedented rollback would undermine decades of public health progress and place children and communities at increased risk. spr.ly/63328ABvBq

🚨 HELLO folks who care about science, health, and kids 🚨 👋 Can I borrow you for a sec? Public comment for ACIP meeting opened today and there are only THREE entries 😳 Can you add your input? Ok to do anon. Brief comments fine - deadline Sept 13. Please share! ❤️⤵️ www.regulations.gov/docket/CDC-2...

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

Pleased to have this piece in Science today on the importance of maintaining vaccine progress and the threat that it is under right now. The actions of the last few days at CDC only re-highlight the threat. This is not what the American population wants or deserves. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The loss of highly experienced CDC leadership is the latest devastating result of the Administration’s sustained attacks on public health, and it absolutely must be the last. Our statement: https://bit.ly/41XOkU7

(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.

If you are worried about misinformed U.S. federal guidance on vaccines and preventative health measures right now, here’s a list of well sourced and science backed alternative sources of information. A thread that you can bookmark for future reference and pass on to others 🧵

"Guns killed more children than any other cause- more than cancer, more than car crashes- for 3 years in a row."- Washington Post 434 school shootings since the Columbine massacre, and our country still refuses to do what's needed to keep our children safe. Yet we keep sending our kids to school

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

We continue to support the vaccination schedule provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

We asked researchers across the country how federal funding changes have affected them and their labs. Their responses indicate a sense of doom and an existential crisis for science in the US: “The ship is going down and we are powerless.” Importantly, there’s still time to fix this. 1/2

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures. Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives. This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.

I think everyone knows this will be bad because it’s going to mean less physicians, less scientists, less new advancements & missed cures for diseases like cancer that may end up killing us. But it’s also going to devastate all of us economically even sooner cause the ROI on these dollars was crazy.

It's really not rocket science.

Why cutting funds for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality #AHRQ and other scientific research is penny wise pound foolish. Thanks @ericboodman.bsky.social for including me. #MedSky #HealthPolicy www.statnews.com/2025/08/08/t...

Powerful story in STAT about disruptions in rare disease research. www.statnews.com/2025/08/06/n... 1/3

At his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr claimed he wouldn’t take away vaccines. So far he has: Removed COVID vaccine recommendations Fired the CDC’s vaccine committee Replaced scientists with antivaxxers Cancelled vaccine hesitancy research Pulled $500m in mRNA vaccine research

There is simply not enough to say about how bad this is. Not only will we miss out on cures for infections & things like pancreatic cancer, the US will fall behind in science, tech, economy, and while other countries will take this over it will still be slowed/delayed. It’s a national security risk!

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
