Video replay: IDSA Media Briefing: Hantavirus: What’s The Risk? with Jeanne Marrazzo, Carlos del Rio bit.ly/3Ptj8Jx 💥 @idsainfo.bsky.social @drjeannem.bsky.social @carlosdelrio.bsky.social

Excellent coverage of what should alarm scientists and anyone who values evidence based transparency. Pay attention or pay the price @birdcmp.bsky.social @idsainfo.bsky.social @cidrap.bsky.social

FDA officials yank two studies of Covid vaxx after they were accepted for publication and forbid scientists to release one study of shingles vaxx. Both Covid studies were large, w/ 11M+ total subjects; both showed vaxx was safe, as did the shingles study. No real explanations given for these acts.

Jeanne Marrazzo spoke at our 3/28 No Kings Day Rally and Food drive. Her entire speech was incredibly powerful. Here is a small clip of something really amazing. To watch the whole thing and others find us on YouTube youtube.com/shorts/vb3DN...

When does silence become complicity? American biomedical leadership is being taken apart piece by piece. In real time. Quietly. 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 #publichealth #NIH #anticipatoryobedience

As always @holdenthorp.bsky.social hits the nail on the head. Deprioritizing discovery science stifles innovation & means less US created intellectual property. How-and will-US biosciences recover? @idsainfo.bsky.social @csis.org

The “Make America Healthy Again” movement is only the most recent step in a long retreat from the U.S.’s public-health commitments, Vann R. Newkirk II argues. The health of a nation and the health of its democracy are intertwined.

Superbowl awaits the Superbunny.

Thank you Sen. @bluntrochester.senate.gov for raising concerns about changes to the childhood vaccine schedule and the lack of a transparent, public process during the Feb. 3 NIH hearing.

"Until the US restores the #CDC and its partner agencies to their former stature, we are not only flying blind in the face of emerging and reemerg- ing threats to human health & well-being—we are being deprived of effective weaponry." www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/... @drjeannem.bsky.social

A cohort study found that 58% of people infected with #Mpox during the 2022 outbreak still had lingering symptoms 11–18 months later. Most were appearance‑related, but some experienced ongoing effects on physical function or daily life. Read the full study for free: https://bit.ly/3LJa2qf

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya has just published a piece about his “new vision” for NIAID. Friends, it is an infuriating litany of unsupported claims and meandering nonsense that serve his political beliefs and not health or science.

And as people resign in protest from his failed, incompetent leadership, Podcast Jay bemoans the fate of his tweets in 2020.

This brings us sadness. And shines a light on the truth of the current state of NIH.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Statement from the American Academy of Neurology: “This decision was made without consulting key neurology stakeholders, and there was no formal announcement nor a clear succession plan for NINDS leadership. NINDS plays a vital role in funding and directing research into the brain”

A really important piece. The times when we have opened our country to talented people from around the world are among the moments when America has been truly great. Trump is destroying that legacy and fomenting unconscionable racism. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o...

This year has felt like being awake during surgery but also it’s unsuccessful surgery and also also now you have an infection and none of that is covered by your insurance anymore

1/ 📈🌎 This year we’ve had record breaking numbers of reported measles cases, outbreaks, and importations in the US since elimination was declared in 2000. 🦠 There have been more than 1900 cases and greater than 45 outbreaks reported in 2025. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

This afternoon, I was in a meeting with Jay Bhattacharya, and I can confirm this is *exactly* what he both wants and will be doing. THIS IS NOT HYPERBOLE.

Frikkin amazing stuff.

I really did not enjoy Jay Bhattacharya & Matthew Memoli’s screed against pandemic & virology research for the flagship blog of a “free-market think tank." Instead of getting mad, I accepted @jeremyfaust.bsky.social's kind invitation to take a factual & scientific blowtorch to it.
