I definitely trust Dr. Gupta 100 times more than I will ever trust Oz. Oz is one more quack

Weight loss drugs, around for years. Incredible promise, but still lots we don’t know with long term use and possible side effects Vaccines, around for centuries, incredible promise and far less uncertainty on their safety Keep that in mind as this admin pushes the former

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Remarkable moment yesterday, where @sanders.senate.gov grilled the current NIG Director on the continued nonsense linking vaccines to autism He either forgot his talking points or couldn’t live with the moral injury any longer because he said the truth: there isn’t a link.

Peter Attia never finished a residency and isn’t board certified in anything. Yet, he’s made millions suggesting he knows more than anyone else on “longevity medicine.” Add in his vile private behavior, and somehow Bari Weiss is still advocating for him?

Honored to be appointed the 45th Commissioner of Health for New York City under Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. As a kid from Jackson Heights, nothing means more to me than coming home to serve the city I was born in.

In what’s become a running theme, when the federal government abdicates health leadership, California steps in. Dramatically pulling out of @who.int without a sensible plan B is harmful to all of us. Patients, providers and communities nationwide need an improved, not isolated, WHO.

The American Lung Association released its annual Global Tobacco Control report yesterday. Smoking remains the second leading risk factor for death in the US despite enormous progress in recent decades. Actions by this administration put all of that progress at risk. We spotlight for @ms.now

And I’m joined by returning champion @vinguptamd.bsky.social — Harvard–trained pulmonologist, Air Force Reserve officer, VA ICU doctor and one of America’s most trusted medical voices — to break down Trump’s escalating war on public health, the VA, and even gun owners themselves.

Please join us now!! All things childhood health.

Nearly half of the databases that the CDC used to update regularly — surveillance systems that tracked public health information like Covid vaccination rates and hospitalizations for respiratory syncytial virus — have been paused without explanation, according to new research.

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA. To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness. What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country. Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

Our last episode of Season 1 of the Diagnosis: The End of the EPA Air pollution and the gutting of the Clean Air Act. For an administration that politicizes every part of health, not sure anyone wants a return to year round smog and acid rain. @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

“The Great” Healthcare plan by the President was announced yesterday Light on details, and heavy on marketing. it’s a 1 page outline of ideas, most of them that have already been trialed (and failed to deliver meaningful change for patients). We summarize it for @ms.now youtu.be/G0geFJ9Nm6A?...

With the great @anacabrera.bsky.social, we summarized important steps families can take that are impacted by the rising healthcare premiums this week We also provide a reminder on actionable ways to protect yourself and your loved ones if you live close to a Measles outbreak Please msg me if Qs!

I remember the 60s in NYC. I contracted bronchitis partly because of the air quality. It's sad to see this safeguard dismantled.

California is prioritizing data, science, and facts!

I am very grateful for this. The signs and mission have never been clearer to me. Also thankful for the opportunity to speak to the graduates of the great class of 2026! The future wants a different reality than the present.

Seems like when federal abdication happens on any topic, it’s California that is stepping into the breach. Given the gutting of the EPA and its foundational responsibilities to all of us in reinforcing the clean air act, it will fall to states to emulate the progress of @governor.ca.gov

Vaccines made once-deadly diseases rare, so medical training moved on. I’ve treated these diseases & seen the harm. Now as vaccines are undermined we must prepare doctors for diseases of yesterday—before they become today’s crises. My latest for @statnews.com 👇 www.statnews.com/2026/01/12/m...

My origin story to becoming a doctor. Thank you to @aft.org for giving me the chance and space to share it.

We’ve gone from everything in moderation to more tallow fried red meat, an embrace of raw milk, and a welcoming of more saturated fat in our diets. No wonder polling shows 75%+ of Americans don’t trust this “advice.” thehill.com/policy/healt...

Grateful to the American Academy of Interactive and Digital Arts for recognizing our efforts to provide free national public health town halls with the @aft.org and the great @rweingarten.bsky.social Trust and impact are everything, especially now.

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system. Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

The American childhood vaccine schedule is similar to many of its European counterparts. Suggesting otherwise is a lie. And we aren’t Denmark. They have universal healthcare, low economic inequality, and low childhood poverty. The President should focus on addressing those differences first.

For routine care, FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Centers) See patients without health insurance and costs are usually based on income. www.fqhc.org/find-an-fqhc

I hope Congress acts asap to make this guidance ultimately unnecessary, but until then, offering some guidance and tips if you or a loved one’s care access is being impacted due to federal inaction.

From our family to yours, may 2026 be filled with great health and prosperity for you and those you love. Life can change in an instant. Always tell those you love that you love them.

We will be doing this for @meidastouch.com on January 2nd. Thank you for suggesting it!

HHS announced it is freezing all federal child care payments to the state of Minnesota. This comes after a viral video posted last week alleged widespread fraud at child centers across the state. Alex Tabet and @vinguptamd.bsky.social join Erielle Reshef to discuss. www.ms.now/ana-cabrera-...

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus. Vaccination is the gold standard for protection. However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.
