The CDC is no longer a reliable source for scientifically sound or evidence-based health recommendations. Their statement that the claim "vaccines don't cause autism" is not supported by EBM is completely false. The mass exodus of scientists under new the leadership also speaks volumes.

Typhoon Halong hit Western Alaska - communities, culture, sustenance and people under water. We are a state with less than a million people (though the largest geographically), over 1,000 people displaced. Please consider helping if you are capable. #alaskastrong

To err is human - that statement is humbling more than ever. I presented at my state pharmacy association about pediatric medication safety and error prevention. Afterwards, an attendee had come up to me with valuable feedback. 1/3

Charlie Kirk is dead - a thread. I hold no happiness or sorrow. Rather, I am upset about the level of unnecessary gun violence and that it is the number one cause of death in young children. I am upset that people like Charlie Kirk glorify guns over children's lives. 1/?

The Alaska State Board just motioned to put forth regulations restricting evidence-based gender affirming care and late-term abortions. This is 100% a political move and doesn't align with nationally recognized guidelines and organizations. 30-day comment period coming up. Get ready.

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 Bartlett Regional Hospital is searching for a Director of Pharmacy to lead its services, foster strong dept culture, and make a meaningful impact. see link in comments. The Juneau, Alaska community vibe is welcoming, with a progressive atmosphere. 🌈

I can't celebrate the crumbs when they took the loaf. Might just toss the plate.

Dr. Jake Scott's rebuttal of recent claims by RFK Jr on vaccine safety and conflicts of interest. "I’m a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here’s some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong." theconversation.com/im-a-physici...

Please contact your senators and tell them to vote no on "Big, Beautiful Bill," especially if you live in Alaska. Contact Senator Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski. We can not afford the consequences of this bill and the slash to Medicaid, which will force closure to ALHs and rural hospitals.

🚨Download CDC immunization schedules🚨 RFK Jr. just dismantled the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP). Removed all 17 of them with the intention to replace in the name of "public trust." Evidence doesn't change just because the president or secretary of HHS does.

Oh, no! Elon Musk and Donald Trump broke up during Pride month 🥲

if the budget cuts go through for nasa, we’re losing juno, which has given us these gorgeous images of jupiter over the years

Updates from CDC regarding measles cases across the US... 67% in ages <19yo, 12% constitued hospitalization, and 3 deaths in 2025. Exponential increase over the past couple of years. Please promote vaccination with MMR! #measles #infectiousdisease

How is everyone on BlueSky doing? Tell me one good thing about your week! 💓 #pharmacy

I really hope pharmacy classes are not reciting an addended Oath of the Pharmacist because our large organizations mold to misguided political propaganda surrounding DEI.

I'd rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity.

Thinking about having a Pediatric Pearls presentation at a pharmacist conference coming up. Anyone have any suggestions about topics? Non-ped pharmacists - want anything explained about peds? Could be relatable to inpatient and outpatient!

For those of you even peripherally involved in emergency medicine as a pharmacist, please consider joining @empharmacists.bsky.social! Together we gain representation and create a united front. I am so thrilled to be a part of it! #em #pharmacy

DTs post for Easter was cruel. Straight up evil and hateful. He doesn't care one bit about showing the love of Christ (not that I am a believer). How did anyone vote for this lunatic? 3.5 more years. America is going to be a disaster at the end of this.

This is insane. $40 billion cut to HHS. 40% of NIH budget will be gone, 27 institutes will shrink down to 8. 44% of CDC budget will disappear, all work on chronic diseases will cease. Head Start will be eliminated. SO PEOPLE WILL DIE because we want to give billionaires their tax cuts.

ASHP is also removing DEI resources in compliance with Donald Trump's executive order. Unbelievable. Advocacy and allyship or not easy and in times like this where the rubber meets the road, SHOW UP.

The Oath of the Pharmacist was changed this month to remove wording about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the wake of Trump's anti-DEI executive order. What an absolute letdown. I am so livid and unbelievably disappointed AACP and APhA. Allyship is hard - SHOW UP when it counts. This isn't it.

Love this.

Hands Off! Protest. Anchorage, Alaska. April 5, 2025.

EMPowerRx25 kicks off today — virtually! From crashing patients to CAR-T cases, student loans to trauma pearls, Day 1 is stacked with powerhouse sessions. Catch us live and gear up for Saturday’s SIM! #EMPowerRx25 #EmergencyMedicine #PharmacyStrong #EMPRx25 #EMRx

Most annoying thing your EHR does... GO! Mine is "missing allergies" and CrCl alerts for HepB vaccines in newborns.

This administration wants to eradicate gay people and this will affect many others in the process. Eliminating HHS Office of Infectious Diseases and HIV Policy is reckless and harmful move.

Please enjoy my beautiful aquarium that I have worked REALLY hard on. It brings me so much joy I can't even describe. #fishtank

CDC plans to study vaccines & autism again, despite multiple, high-quality studies finding no link. "These studies have been done more than a dozen times, in 7 different countries on 3 different continents in thousands of children & the results are always #BlueSky  #MedSky 🧪 #IDSky #scisky #EMSky

Pro Tip: Use a framework for your interview examples. Start by briefly setting the scene to provide context. Then, dive into your specific actions. Finally, reflect on the outcome and what you learned. This structure showcases your abilities and makes a lasting impression.

🚨 HEALTHCARE PEEPS 🚨 It's time to take action at an individual level. Teach yourself (in depth) about vaccines. Know the numbers. Educate any time you get the chance. Use your platforms. Speak out about misinformation. Our guidelines were/are at risk and it's time to matters into our own hands.

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

Stop being considerate in sitatuations where you are not considered.

Completely inappropriate for a public health agency to post - the statement is rampant with political bias and inaccuracy. Please continue to practice evidence-based medicine and put patients first.

What a travesty that an anti-vaxxer has made his way to run a federal health department. It's a dark day to be a medical provider - as for me, I will be sticking to the evidence. 👍🏻

Has anyone else noticed the phenomenon of BUN increasing ahead of SCr in impending kidney injury caused by vancomycin? Thanks for any insight. #idsky #infectiousdisease

Which organizations have made a statement about CDC web pages being removed outside of IDSA? Please put link in comments if you know of any. I expected more for med orgs. #medsky

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: https://buff.ly/42AO8LI

It’s important to educate parents and their children about the vaccines they receive. Many healthcare providers use the CDC vaccination information sheets to do so. #MedSky They’re no longer online.
