All of us, at some point, need screening for colorectal cancer. New blood tests aren’t perfect but might be an option if you don’t have a family history of colorectal cancer and aren’t otherwise at high risk for the condition. Talk to your medical provider!

Proud to work for a national news organization that always looks for opportunities to inform and provide actionable advice, especially on all matters public health, particularly now. Have your back

Privileged to use my platforms to amplify the brilliance of Dr @drannieandrews.com and her candidacy to the United States Senate. Youth, expertise, and a hunger to have real impact — super impressed with Dr Andrews and here to support my fellow Doc in her noble quest.

Hoping for the speedy recovery of the burn victims in Sundays heinous attack in Boulder. We reviewed what to be vigilant for if you or a loved one is exposed to a fire Smoke inhalation is deadly by itself and first aide should focus on assessing one’s respiratory status. @anacabrera.bsky.social

Cancelling the Moderna contract for a candidate Avian Flu vaccine simply means other countries will likely step in and fill the funding void. Innovation will continue, just in our absence. It also means higher prices for Americans if/when we need a vaccine for this quickly changing pathogen.

The FDA Commissioner- Makary - disgraced himself on national TV Sunday, confusing the public again on basic health issues. As always, we fact checked his statements, corrected them, and did our best in 3 mins to provide actionable advice. Have your back.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

To maintain old friends, focus less on what they're doing (or not doing) for the relationship and focus on your own efforts, says Nina Badzin, host of a friendship podcast.

Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.

What an honor to speak to Vin Gupta whose mission it is to fight health disinformation.

Meidas Mighty provides health news!

Thank you to @skalantry.bsky.social for the warm welcome and invitation to speak about my journey in public sector leadership, from military service to public health and steps in between I’m proud to stand up for what it is right Thank you to all of you for the trust! youtube.com/watch?v=YHtK...

If *MAHA* seems like an amateurish mess, it’s because it is. A big reason why is people like Calley Means — no relevant healthcare skills other than knowing how to curry favor and obtain power. Incredible reporting as always by @katherineeban.bsky.social www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues. But the report, from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

Well past time for new blood to step in and wrangle leadership from the old guard. I especially support @drannieandrews.com and and all healthcare leaders to step up and run for public office. No better time than the current to take a big swing!

2 months since the launch of Meidas Health. We are everything the federal health leadership is not: Clinician-led, platforming actual leaders, and bringing timely responses and content on topics that matter to you and your loved ones. We have your back! @meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social

The people making healthcare decisions in this admin haven’t cared for patients in a very very long time (or they never did in the first place). It’s easy to take an eraser to important investments when you won’t have to deal with the consequences.

As a union of educators, healthcare professionals, and public employees, it's our duty to provide reliable resources to our communities so they can make informed decisions. It's why we started our Vital Lessons program with @ShareMyLesson.bsky.social. time.com/7288802/heal...

I got criticized by some when I called Trump’s FDA pick - Makary - unqualified back in November. Turns out he is exactly who we feared at the time —> no spine, only motivated by power, and certainly not someone beholden to the ethics of his former profession.

Today was further proof that our nation’s best healthcare leaders are not in federal government currently. It’s why Meidas Health is gaining traction. We are platforming the best on the issues that matter. No suits, no fake doctors. Join us! @meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social

Leaders from nearly all the major medical societies are asking the same, basic question: What did Kennedy have to fear to first let the Advisory Committee meet and provide recommendations before such massive changes? We all know the answer.

Do the vast majority of pediatricians and their representative body, the American Academy of Pediatrics, support today’s announcement on restrictions to the COVID vaccine? No. Who do you trust? Suits or your child’s doctor.

Immensely proud to work with Dr Mandy Cohen and others to support large employers and the nations biggest unions to provide vital health information to their workers. Deeply appreciate Time Magazine for shining a spotlight on this work today! We are here to help! time.com/7288802/heal...

Take time to listen to Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social on a new episode of Meidas Health from @meidastouch.com with special guests Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh! #trustedvoices

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

Memorial Day is once a year but its meaning and spirit is relevant every day of the year. Words cannot express our debt to my fellow service members and their families who’ve endured the ultimate sacrifice. And thank you to all who’ve served in any capacity. We need more of you.

No one person or entity can replace the void of health leadership at the top for the next 3.5 years. But I, with powerful partners like @meidastouch.com, @msnbc.com, @nbcnews.com will try with every ounce of genuine effort to fill it responsibly. Thank you to all of you for the trust.

In the U.S., medical errors injure approximately 1.3 million people a year and result in one death each day, according to the World Health Organization. AI could be the answer to helping fix that. Read more here: nbcnews.to/43x494e

In our effort to fill the health information void, sharing our latest health alert with key tips for personal and family safety in light of rising cases of whooping cough nationally. Please spread the word! sharemylesson.com/blog/what-wh... @aft.org @rweingarten.bsky.social

Hoping the iconic Billy Joel has a quick recovery. We don’t often talk about Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus but it can be quite serious if treatment is delayed. We go over notable symptoms to be mindful of. As always, DMs open if you have questions! @nbcnews.com

“MAHA” is a cringey rebrand effort and a superficial one at that. The actual policies being pushed are directly counter to the stated intent of their 70 page report. Save yourself the read. Also 70 pages to tell us what we already know…let’s save the trees too. @msnbc.com

Whooping cough is on the rise—and schools can help stop it. @vinguptamd.bsky.social shares symptoms to watch for + 5 prevention steps for educators. Read his blog here: sharemylesson.com/blog/what-wh... @aft.org @aftteach.bsky.social

Tonight @vinguptamd.bsky.social @doctor-bayo.bsky.social Dr. Kathleen Green Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, and I had a terrific conversation on perimenopause and menopause for our third Vital Lessons town hall. The questions and comments from our members were insightful and appreciative.
