BREAKING: The controversial hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau has been *cancelled,* I can now report. A senior official with Africa CDC confirmed the cancellation and said GB officials are working to make sure any research is conducted ethically: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Therapist: what’s stressing you out? Me: yes

Always a good idea to check our your state or local health department's data dashboards! They're a great resource for what's happening in your community We 💚 our Washington State and Seattle King County pals!

An honor that even after 5 years out of #medlibs, I could still pull it together as Member Member. Love updated roster to profiles! www.mlanet.org/professional...

Brrrrrr Despite otherwise Blueskies, ICY conditions have been spotted. Fun Fact: before modern refrigerators were common, ICE was delivered to homes in Blocks. Today, Block deliveries are as easy as pushing a button. Try it out!

"Stop taking public health advice from people who aren't public health experts" — a challenge the NYT finds impossible.

It breaks our hearts to have to say that CDC is no longer a source for evidence-based vaccine recommendations. 💔 But we are so proud of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for stepping up to protect kids. ❤️‍🩹 Childhood vaccine schedule from AAP 👇 downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP-...

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

As some of the scientists still at CDC fighting the good fight with all we have left, we appreciate when journalists use precise language in their headlines. It matters.💚 Career scientists weren't involved in this sham, & would not propose change based upon political ideology & vibes G'night all 😴

If you aren’t confused by the new food guidelines, checkout the website Realfood.gov. Now we are even more confused and the website keeps glitching. Please report the website as not being ADA compliant. The website is not 508 compliant.

Celebrate every win!

Good morning ppl! Confused about what vaccines are now covered & which ones are not? They are all still covered by the gov and insurance plans. YOU CAN STILL GET THEM ALL. They just want you to think you shouldn’t need to. Here is a quick info graphic by the NYT of the vaccines they are reccomending

Not to be all “back in my day”, but every time I watch an old movie and they say “mind if I smoke?” I instantly flash back to a PSA on buses in the 90s. And I feel like we need this kind of blunt messaging on public health stuff. It WORKED. It’s still in my head 30 years later.

Five years ago, Trump incited an insurrection to overturn the 2020 election. Trump and Republicans have tried to rewrite that day, but I still vividly remember it. We won’t let them whitewash or erase this deadly attack on our Capitol and our democracy. www.thecut.com/2021/01/pram...

Hey #medlibs & library folks - check your catalog for the Journal of the Academy of Public Health. You may want to reconsider that & refine teaching language for clarity about evidence-based health information this year. eagledawg.blogspot.com/2026/01/publ...

Appreciate people remembering that the CDC's wild to mild vaccination ad campaign was stopped by RFK Jr and this administration.

You get us. You get this dumpster fire of a year. 😭🫂 @emoryrollins.bsky.social 🔗 to my life this year: www.instagram.com/p/DS7cGfMDeV...

It’s winter. The air is cold. The synths are very moody. And yes, you still need to hydrate.

As we head into a new year - one likely to be worse - remember this: solidarity is power. ✊🔥 Graphic from @inthesetimes.com on IG.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Here’s a more appropriate way for the U.S. to strive to be more like Denmark. “Denmark remains on course to meet its 2030 target of slashing its territorial greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels…” www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Catch me talking about Buzzsaw Louie on today's Advent Calendar House!

Well shit.

This is me & my 11% Italian DNA reacting to notice of a legit one in my email this morning 😂

“Tahnk you for reaching put! I will be OOOO four the holiday brake and look forward too connection when I return!”

Denying infants a safe and effective Hepatitis B vaccine at birth in Guinea-Bissau, where ~19% of adults are currently infected with Hepatitis B, is akin to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study where black men with syphilis were deliberately left untreated to study the natural progression of disease.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #AGU25 #climate

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

This just made me 🥲

Information from NWS Seattle: In coordination with King County, we have issued a FLASH FLOOD WARNING for a levee breach in Tukwila WA near Todd, Blvd. Water is likely moving north towards I-405. In addition, an evacuation notice is now in effect from King County.

PSA Lesson 9 from #BethesdaDeclaration via @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social #NIH Living under the threat of authoritarianism is demoralizing. And it is that way by design. Their goal is to flood the zone. Resistance is not futile. 🧪We must be intentional about building defiant joy in our resistance.

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

If you see National Guard service members out in our communities, they're here to keep Washingtonians safe. I deeply appreciate the work they're doing.

Thank you to Chef José Andrés and World Central Kitchen! So grateful for all those helping our state get through this.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Reposting because TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT COMMENTS!!!!! If you have not done so already, please submit a comment!!!! In any case, please share this post!!!!

🚨🚨🚨I’ve talked before about how our records are NOT the most up to date and should NOT be used in this way. It WILL result in citizens being denied their constitutional right to vote. You can submit public comments until 12/12 and I urge you to please do so!! Spread the word!! #AltCitizen alert🚨🚨🚨

Let's be clear it is NEVER ok to deadname anyone. Admiral Rachel Levine is an amazing human. She should be thanked and appreciated for her service. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

yyyyyepyepyepyepyep

Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science. We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.

Petty bigots. The bullies from 7th grade. That's who's running this country.

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...
