As a lay person I follow a great deal of the science and medical people like yourself. I used to count the CDC and the US government as a trusted source… but I can no longer do so. Please keep doing what you are doing so we can sort out what is real versus hysteria.

Health officials are still learning more about the outbreak of Hantavirus, so important to avoid overstating our knowledge right now. It is a virus capable of causing severe respiratory illness though it is not nearly as contagious as flu/covid. Always remain vigilant.

📅 314 Action + @couriernewsroom.bsky.social are back with a LIVE virtual event on June 11. Fact v. Fiction features: 🔵 Sen. John @hickenlooper.bsky.social 🔵Emily Gregory (FL-HD-87) 🔵 Shaughnessy Naughton 🔵 Dr. @vinguptamd.bsky.social 🔵 @pauloffit.bsky.social 👀 and more to come

Dr. @vinguptamd.bsky.social is coming up next on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social When Dr. Gupta speaks, I listen.

The President’s own FDA has not authorized e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool in adults. The reason? Mixed evidence. Proponents believe it’s a harm reducer, skeptics aren’t convinced. Amongst kids? Near universal concern of harm, especially from flavored products.

@vinguptamd.bsky.social #medsky

I wrote this in 2019 when @whitehouse-47.bsky.social under Trump 1.0 walked away from a ban on flavored vapes. Fast forward 7 years and nothing has changed. www.nytimes.com/2019/11/19/o...

Wildfire preparedness week is upon us. Friendly reminder to swap out your filters in your home HVAC - MERV8 is ideal but requirements may vary based on your system. Thank you to @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov for bringing attention to this matter!

Great to see the @FDACommissioner authorize expanded access for Daraxonrasib, a promising but still in-review chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. As we discuss, Expanded Access for challenging to treat conditions is an important program. Good news for once!

Is there any new medical research or safety reason to justify restricting access to Mifepristone (medication abortion) via mail? None whatsoever. Continued exporting of our culture wars to our healthcare at home and abroad is the only reason @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

Dr. Vin Gupta raises serious concerns about Trump’s new Surgeon General nominee—questioning her lack of public health experience and whether she’s truly qualified for the nation’s top medical role.

Dr. VIn Gupta is a National Treasure. Thank you @vinguptamd.bsky.social for always speaking the truth in such a clear and edifying manner. And thank you for bringing up the visa status chaos this current regime has caused throughout the medical community (among many other communities).

Credentials matter to be the US Surgeon General. Past SGs have been active clinicians in fields like pediatrics, internal medicine, or primary care. Many have had prior military or government experience. All have had rigorous public health training. Sustained excellence matters for this role.

The US Government used to be the strongest supporter of new therapeutics to save the lives of people battling metastatic melanoma or pancreatic cancer. Tools exist. They need support, resources are smart regulation. It’s no longer happening and patients will bear the burden.

The air we breathe remains unhealthy across many parts of our nation. And despite progress in pockets, much work remains. As ⁦‪@LungAssociation‬⁩’s annual State of Air report released today shows, nearly of all kids are impacted. Developing lungs are uniquely vulnerable.

Seventeen years after first meeting Dr @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social as a medical student, I had the privilege of reconnecting in Seattle. Endless gratitude and the deepest respect for his lifelong commitment to medicine and mentorship—he’s helped pave the path for me and so many of us.

In my humble opinion, top leaders for American health agencies should: - have actual patient care experience, not just letters behind a name -clear history of service to the country (military, govt, etc) -proven commitment to calm, steady, clinically rooted messaging

This meant a lot to me. At a time when our profession is being attacked, putting yourself out there isn’t easy. Thank you to @rinaindc for the call out 🙏

Oz is the same person he’s always been over the last 15 years —> now he just has power. Disappointed to see how many people sane wash the guy for profit motives. He continues to say ridiculous and embarrassing statements in an attempt masquerade as a serious person. He is a charlatan.

In an interview with Donald Trump Jr., Dr. Oz says President Trump believes diet soda kills cancer cells. @vinguptamd.bsky.social and @clairecmc.bsky.social join Chris Jansing to discuss their concerns over the medical messaging from the Trump admin and its impact. www.ms.now/chris-jansin...

Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.

Nearly 15 months of medical claims by Kennedy — and in their wake, retractions, reversals, outright lies. An embarrassing track record not worthy of the stature of his office

Anticipating that Kennedy will announce a relaxation of restriction on some types of “peptides.” Many promise miracle cures with no evidence or safety data. Classic snake oil. Some peptides are well known, like Insulin. They are mainstream and safe. Don’t take his word for it. Ask your provider!

Poll after poll shows that the vast majority of Americans (85%+) are exhausted of the nonsense around basic vaccine policy Re-engineering the main committee that determines our nations vaccine guidance is all in service to the whims of Kennedy, not the public’s interest

First heavenly birthday to my mom. The grief of your sudden loss remains crushing, but not a moment goes by that I don’t feel your love and hear your voice guiding me. I miss you deeply and carry you with me in everything I do.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

“Doctors” who provide patients with unsupervised access to potentially lethal medications like Ketamine or fake cures and then profit off these practices are criminals. Even after jail, they must never be allowed to practice again. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/a...

I will always speak the truth. Thank you to the great @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social

Erratic. Can’t finish sentences. Often confused. Illogical train of thought. Word finding difficulties. Developing and worsening gradually over time. The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia.

In a new American Educator Q&A, hear @vinguptamd.bsky.social share how his dedication to global health and public service inspired his work on @sharemylesson.bsky.social's Vital Lessons series which is helping communities make sense of pressing health issues. aft.org/ae/spring202...

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

BREAKING: Trump posts "A whole civilization will die tonight" in latest threat to devastate Iran.

Glad to see the FDA approve a pill version of this new class of weight loss drugs. Many can benefit with more affordable and convenient access. Remarkable work from @elilillyandcompany.bsky.social

Trump either doesnt understand how many people rely on robust Medicare and Medicaid programs for healthcare needs or he doesn’t care. Suggesting states should foot the bill is nonsensical but signals his priorities (which aren’t healthcare)

When @vinguptamd.bsky.social speaks, I listen.

Gupta: Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, He is now saying that these are the responsibilities of the states. That means that purple and red states are likely going to struggle a lot more to provide basic healthcare to their Medicare and Medicaid recipients than blue states

A diverse workforce has repeatedly been shown to improve health outcomes. Now is the time to reaffirm our commitment to excellence and diversity in medical school admissions, not to treat them as competing goals www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

Glad to see Tiger Woods is getting the help he needs. Nearly 50 million people across America battle chronic addiction in some form annually. Honesty, realistic goal setting, and a strong support system are vital in a successful recovery. He can set a powerful example for many.

Healthy eating has always been about reducing intake of heavily processed foods (donuts) and embracing a plant-based diet. Thankful to @americanheart.bsky.social for issuing common sense guidelines today that emphasize a balanced plate which minimizes saturated fats. @anacabrera.bsky.social
