Now that Homeland Security has access to healthcare data, many immigrants (those lawfully allowed to be present) are avoiding getting care out of fear. This is clearly impacting the health and vitality of our diverse communities. #theDiagnosis Full link to episode: youtu.be/-X1JKWfsuy8?...

🚨 Big news for public health in California! @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social Newsom & @capublichealth.bsky.social launched the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange (PHNIX) - a bold step to modernize how we protect health statewide. Conversation w @vinguptamd.bsky.social and Dr. Erica Pan 🎙️ 🧵

6/ This is about trust, transparency & technology - so Californians can make informed health choices. 🎧 Hear Dr. Erica Pan discuss w @vinguptamd.bsky.social on @meidastouch.com Health Network podcast: www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hea.... #PublicHealth #Innovation #CaliforniaHealth #MeidasHealth

Kennedy and his team aren’t about “medical freedom” Their announcements today were offensive to the concept of individual autonomy and direct, prejudiced, ideological attacks on the transgender community and childhood health. Let’s speak in unison. It’s wrong, and it won’t stand.

“Giving money to the people” is code for cutting a check to a health savings account. That’s not health insurance. It’s smoke in mirrors. $2K in your pocket won’t cover a fraction of a major medical need (procedure, hospitalization, ER visit). Don’t buy the nonsense.

Gupta: Can you explain what Covered California is? Soni: We cover about 2 million people—hard-working Californians… About 90% of the people we serve need financial assistance… However, that assistance is set to expire on December 31, 2025–putting people in a very difficult position.

This is why I love my work with @msnownews.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com We are reaching people!

Thanks for your advocacy. My dad was watching and finally agreed to get his shots this winter after listening to you❤️

I’ve seen flu have devastating impacts on the seemingly young and healthy. It is unpredictable, constantly changing, and can be very dangerous. It is not just a bad cold and can render any of us bedridden for days or worse. Be vigilant, stay protected, ignore the noise.

The US EPA exists in name only. Its actions on relaxing standards on Formaldehyde showcase what little regard its leaders have for your health and your family’s health. Formaldehyde is a potent carcinogen and must be taken seriously. Invest in air purifiers with carbon filters.

Donald Trump's lapdog Republicans in the U.S. Senate just overwhelmingly voted to let health insurance costs skyrocket. Jaw-dropping levels of cowardice and neglect.

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina. In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination. These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void. @msnowreports.bsky.social

In The Good Doctor Vin Gupta We Trust. Facts Matter. Truth Matters.

Social media use among adolescents has already shown clear, devastating impacts on academic performance and higher rates of suicide and depression. Parental controls have never been enough. As we discuss for @msnownews.bsky.social today, Australia’s leadership is bold and overdue.

Amid the cacophony of “proposals” to fix healthcare from the party in power, what actually is likely to happen and why? We break through the noise with Secretary (Dr) David Shulkin. Hope you’ll tune in! @meidastouch.com #meidashealth open.spotify.com/episode/5UAj...

I took care of numerous kids with fulminant hepatitis B in the 90s before the switch to getting the first vaccine at birth. I don’t recall having one since. I do not miss caring for that disease.

WCHA disagrees with CDC’s Advisory Committee’s change to decades-long vaccine recommendation that has reduced pediatric hepatitis B infections by 99 percent. doh.wa.gov/newsroom/wes...

Episode 3 of “The Diagnosis” with @couriernewsroom.bsky.social Telehealth is a lifeline for so many, across much of America. So why is the Trump Administration undermining access to such a vital service? We dive deep. Full episode here: youtu.be/ypzN5DhV4js?...

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else. So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Thankful to have the powerful and passionate voice of the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr Susan Kressly, on with us this morning. We will not stay silent and be cowed by utter nonsense at the top. More of this incoming. Thank you @ameracadpeds.bsky.social

America has needed someone to fill the void and give us some hope. Gavin Newsom has embraced that role so well and ably. @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms. 11 months later, he still hasn't delivered. That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

CDC advisors appointed by RFK Jr. are expected to vote on whether to delay hepatitis B vaccines for newborns & weaken the existing childhood vaccine schedule. This would leave all of our kids - and our communities at large - even more vulnerable to disease. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/h...

Thanks @robcaliff.bsky.social and 11 other prior FDA Commissioners for weighing in on vaccines, evidence, appropriate policy in today's @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... www.statnews.com/2025/12/03/f...

Privileged to join my friends @nfidvaccines.bsky.social in defense of the profession of medicine. Those “leading” us will only be relieved of their positions with our active engagement and vocal pushback. Link to our chat here, hope you’ll give it a listen: www.nfid.org/podcast/driv... 🙏

Exactly why @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom started a state-level CDC, in partnership with other states, to follow the science and the data — not politics.

Gupta: These are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline that says as you age you should get an MRI of the heart and abdomen.

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

The new CDC #2 has a history of supporting medical gibberish. Pro Ivermectin as a “treatment” for COVID, yet against mass vaccine campaigns. It will fall to leaders at the state level and coalitions like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the massive gap. #WCHA @governor.ca.gov

@vinguptamd.bsky.social Thank you for your leadership in the fight against the Trump Regime’s propaganda & misinformation! Millions of Americans consider you to be the preeminent expert with matters of our health! I heard of the recent passing of your Mother. You have My deepest condolences Sir!🙏🏻

The proposed changes reported over the weekend to FDA vaccine approvals are unethical to patients and healthcare providers across our nation. We have real healthcare delivery issues in need of clear headed leadership. Not this. @msnowreports.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social

Thank God for you Dr. Gupta. A person of integrity who believes in science and data.

The FDA vaccine head, like his boss, always overstates the risks of vaccines or issues provocative headlines without providing actual evidence. They did the same thing again over the weekend. We focus on the actual truth @msnowreports.bsky.social

@vinguptamd.bsky.social I never miss a segment on MS NOW that you’re in. Thank you for all you do.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Whether it’s stating the basic truth on the President’s health, correcting RFK’s immoral nonsense on childhood vaccines, and holding their cast of “experts” to account, the time is now to stand up for the medical profession. I will continue to do across platforms without fear.

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline. He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office. Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

Thinking of the vital importance of family, friends, community and service on this toughest of first holidays without our mom to lean on. The world has myriad challenges - and Im grateful for your trust and encouragement in finding a path forward.

There will come a time - in the not so distant future - where the type of Doctor you’d want caring for you and your loved one will be chosen for these vital national roles. Until then, we sit on the sidelines and we work to make that reality happen.

Thank you @vinguptamd.bsky.social for having our back! We must keep pathways open for graduate nursing education! #nursesky #medsky

America has a major nursing workforce shortage. We need hundreds of thousands more. Is it any surprise the Trump team has decided to make it *harder* for aspiring nurses to afford nursing school? Yet another healthcare “policy” that will harm our future.
