3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

people are dying from drug policy, which governments can change. the relentless messaging that this is addiction and trauma and individuals is preventing all of us from confronting the overwhelming horror of this and seeing it as systemic violence for which the only solution is systemic change.

mRNA vaccines can be modified and produced cheaply and quickly. This doesn't only help us respond to pandemics better, it enables researchers to rapidly test different treatment strategies for many diseases such as cancer. Cutting mRNA funding slows all of health research and makes us all sicker.

Thank you, Sen. Schiff, for staying focused and seeking always to hold him accountable.

Harm reduction saves lives. Naloxone saves lives. Syringe exchange saves lives. Overdose prevention centers save lives. People who use drugs are lifesavers; they are first responders. Testing strips save lives. Knowledge is power.

For the millionth time, health and scientific research are inherently political. This administration isn't reducing "ideological research," it is choosing to focus on ideological policies that make billionaires even richer and everyone else sicker.

This Order apparently will gut both #HousingFirst, and #HarmReduction. The intentional framing of Housing First as “deprioritize[d] accountability” and Harm Reduction as “only facilitate illegal drug use and its attendant harm” is chillingly anti-science and dangerous.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, however, reacted to de Blasio’s idea for closing down New York City with derision. It was dangerous, he said, and served only to scare people. Language mattered, Cuomo said, and “shelter-in-place” sounded like it was a response to a nuclear apocalypse.“ #covid_19
