Tired of living in an Onion article. No offense @theonion.com, I am not suggesting you had anything to do with this. I know you are better than that.

Someone must be holding the leash at all times. Even if it's him. #dogs #BskyDogs #DogsOfBsky

Wtf. Do we have a dumpster fire emoji yet?

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The accuracy....

I was sleeping, Mom. Wtf. #dogs ##DogsOfBsky ##BskyDogs

If you need covid tests or know anyone who does, the current administration is going to stop the free test program as soon as it becomes cheaper to destroy them than store them. Right now, you can still order 4 free tests. COVIDtests.gov

I would also like a bite of the snack, please... in case you forgot I'm wasting away... #dogs #DogsOfBlueSky ##BskyDogs

Unreal that is has come to this. For those not familiar with what this means: the National Cancer Institute (NCI) clinical trials center has been the beating heart if not the epicenter of cutting edge innovations in #healthcare for many decades.

“Trump's assault against WHO, USAID, and medical research threatens to bring the entire global health architecture crashing down” www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

That's it. That's the post.

Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.

“The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding… The funding freeze at NIH violates two federal court injunctions, two legal experts said.” popular.info/p/trump-main...

Y'all 😂

Should we tell the Biology 101 failures in the Montana legislature that there are no “gene-based vaccines?”

JFC. Capping overhead at 15% and potentially making it retroactive?? Granted, I think some institution overhead rates are far too high, but this is going to break some labs and will have a significant impact on a lot of institutions.

#FDA is allowed to release safety info. ⚠️ Patients with CGMs that use a smartphone should monitor their settings to make sure they are receiving their alerts and alarms when devices have software updates or are on DND. This is particularly important education for patients who aren't tech savvy.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

@europepmc.org does have all* of PubMed indexed (and indeed partners with PMC for full text) - in addition to other sources (incl. for preprints). OpenAlex (openalex.org) and Lens (lens.org) similarly include all* PubMed records, as does @openaire.bsky.social (but less easy to filter in webUI) 1/

So now we are going to refer to any healthcare DEI initiatives as "personalized medicine" and "pharmacogenomics," right?

Just dropping this here... any publication with a CC BY-NC 4.0 license can be distrubuted in any form that is not commercial. A CC BY-4.0 license can be adapted even for comerical purposes. All you have to do is cite the article and post the license... even if the article is retracted.

FFS. Here we go. Calling all of my #medcomm people, now is the time to start capturing these articles and getting the info out there in other forms before they can be retracted.

This right here is what is important. Download all the CDC/NIH/NIAID files you think you need. Review their strategy plans because it is all going to have to come from states, institutions, and industry for a long time. Make sure the edication you are getting and giving is valid and referenced.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled. Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security. This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

Kansas is having the largest #tuburculosis outbreak in U.S. history. Sixty-six active and 79 latent cases. Gee, wouldn’t it be great if we had a #publichealth agency to track & report stuff like this? www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Pretty sure at this point the CDC is no longer allowed to post #birdflu updates either, along with MMWR news or other pubs. And grapevine says NIH can't even buy lab supplies (not asking anyone to confirm, please don't risk your jobs).

“Scientists at the NIH say they can't purchase critical supplies for their studies, including test tubes and medications, because of a pause on outside communication issued by the Trump Administration this week” Just a completely normal democracy! buff.ly/3CeBpUx

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security has issued a red flag alert for the United States of America

I do not have words for how awful this feels.

ADHD - Where one day you can't focus on anything, and then the next you're hyperfocusing so hard you forget about everything else

Your vaccination also protects the lives of babies under 1 who cannot be fully immunized. 10% of adults in NZ’s outbreak vs 2/3 of babies have had to be hospitalized. Pertussis can make small children stop breathing and even a “mild” case in an adult can mean months of coughing so severe ribs break

Peltier. I expected Biden to make some moves but lost hope for that one a long time ago. I hope he finally makes it home.

He would like everyone to know that the universe is unjust and I am cruel. Because I said he could not have my steak. He is disappointed in my lack of empathy at his obvious signs of famine. #dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyDogs

At base, people need to remember that RFK is a lawyer. If he can overturn the Vaccine Injury Act, it opens up every vaccine manufacturer to lawsuits. He has been a part of so many of these that even if he stepped down from HHS, he would be busy "consulting" for the rest of his life.

Yup, this about sums it up. Image credit: Xitter account om_rxd #MedSky #IDSky

We interviewed @pauloffit.bsky.social for a podcast at the end of last year on polio and vaccines. Go check that out and his newsletter. www.onmedicalgrounds.com/PremiumConte...

So let’s be clear the opposition to RFK Jr. is bipartisan. Here is Trump’s first FDA Commissioner @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social on the threat RFK represents. 1/ endpts.com/gottlieb-say...

Chief physician, priest and magician, chief dentist, and director of medicinal plants... While I think personally, they should leave the man be, if we are going to mark the bingo card for zombies in 2025, he might be handy.

I saw this post from some others and commented, but I'm going to post here on my own. I'm in this article. I know a lot of women who are. We don't all have the same reason for leaving, but there are some trends.

Y'all. The eyeroll, head turn, and pinned back ears I just got when I told him he couldn't have my noodles.... #ThorTheProtectorOfLaps #DogsOfBsky #Dogs #BskyDogs

You can get a monkey pox vaccine if your partner is trans or if you are in a gay/open relationship! Important info in a world that might see an upsurge in smallpox! (The mpox vaccine also protects against smallpox iirc)

First snow is very exciting. But only in the daytime. Night time is Not Cool. Yes, he has on his cold weather gear, you just can't see it because of his giant head. #dogs #DogsofBsky #BskyDogs
