Over last 5 yrs, flu vaccination rates for children have steadily dropped year over year. This is a fact that can’t be ignored re: severity of this year’s season with many kids hospitalized w/ severe complications. Next year will be SO much worse unless @fda.gov gets their act together. #medsky

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Fellow healthcare workers. What’s the move here. I don’t want to keep screaming into the void on social media. We need to coalesce and resist, starting w/ the terrifying mismanagement by HHS, downplaying current measles outbreak & canceling flu vax planning session #medsky

I don’t really have words for how utterly insane it is that a recent high school graduate who was fired from an internship for leaking internal info now was given access by our executive branch to internal sensitive government data.

I take care of children who DIE of conditions that we can’t prevent and that despite our very best efforts we cannot cure. The fact that CHILDREN DIE of diseases that can be completely eradicated with safe and effective vaccines makes me LIVID.

I commend every parent who is choosing to do the right thing by vaccinating their child as the measles outbreak spreads. There's no shame in changing your mind on a stance you were wrong about. Especially when it concerns protecting children from disease. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Just got this passed on to us, about the damage at NIH's home campus -- the largest biomedical research institute in the world. "The articles on cuts and damage assessments are largely grants focused. The grants program is a bit easier to characterize because it’s visible outside the NIH..." 🧪 1/

In light of this evening’s Republican budget passage that is anticipated to lead to Medicaid cuts in order to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest, this article from @kff.org is worth a read. Bottomline. This is VERY unpopular, across the political spectrum, and for very good reasons.

These weren’t lazy bureaucrats doing unimportant work. They were working hard, and often for less money than they could get in the private sector, on key life-saving public health programs. They were fired to give more money to billionaires. #DOGEkills #medsky www.propublica.org/article/trum...

“For all the big talk about putting an end to “social engineering,” the Great Resegregation is itself a radical attempt to socially engineer America to be poorer, whiter, less equal, and less democratic.”

🤯🤯🤯 Firing dedicated civil servants doing critical work across so many sectors of our government to save money while blowing $200 million on a self-aggrandizing ad campaign that serves no purpose besides boosting one man’s ego.

THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it. Most people do not understand how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. 🧪🛟🩺

Abortion is healthcare. Criminalizing lifesaving procedures is killing women. The argument that delays are due to overly restrictive interpretations of the law also doesn’t hold water. This is inevitable result when the law interferes w/ complex clinical decisions where minutes matter. #medsky

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

As physicians we pay a lot of taxes (more than Elon and Trump and Bezos!), but we don’t mind if the $$ is being spent on education, infrastructure, and healthcare. Because as physicians, we care for the welfare of other humans. #Medsky

Trump claims he's working to reduce federal spending, including by indiscriminately canceling govt contracts. Over the last decade, Musk's companies SpaceX and Tesla were awarded at least $18 billion in federal contracts abcnews.go.com/US/musk-work...

I can’t get over the fact that I went to college with the “trump official” in this pic. He must be so deeply wounded still he couldn’t win student government president that the end result is a collective ego trip from inside the Oval Office.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Kennedy announced a new commission to “investigate vaccines, pesticides, and antidepressants to see if they have contributed to a rise in chronic illnesses” We already know what illnesses cancelling vaccines WILL give rise to! #medsky #publichealth #pediatrics #vaccines #RFKJr #sciencematters
