By a true leader in #PedsID #IDSky #PedSky

Today’s rally near the U.S. Capitol building. USAID was wrecked. Some of the employees had their computer privileges yanked BEFORE they were told it was coming. The group that coordinates rescuing people from earthquakes is gone now. People are hurting here and abroad. #news #protests

We got a CDC HAN! 🥳 Also, we got a HAN 😢

HAPPENING NOW: AIDS ADVOCATES ARE OUTSIDE THE US STATE DEPARTMENT TO PROTEST TRUMP AND RUBIOS FREEZE ON AID AND ATTACKS ON PEPFAR IMPACTING 20 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV WORLDWIDE.

We were denied access to meet with Treasury Secretary Bessent.   They snuck him in the same way they're stealing our data: the back door.   Speaker Johnson ADMITS that even he doesn't know what Elon Musk and his cronies are doing with your sensitive information.

Not just sad - devastating

RFK Jr. has spent 20 years attacking vaccines. Now he’s being handed the keys to the agency responsible for protecting public health? This is reckless and dangerous. As Dr. Paul Offit warns: This is a sad day for children in America.

I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real "No true Scotsman" actually holds here it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

Ebola outbreak in Uganda - 234 contacts identified, most of them in healthcare settings. - 3 sick contact isolated for testing - Deployment of an experimental vaccine started on Monday following a ring vaccination strategy and prioritizing HCWs. www.cidrap.umn.edu/ebola/uganda...

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation? TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

Hey @asm.org WTF

NEW: We obtained the directions NSF program officers are following to review all grants for compliance with the Trump EOs and the turmoil it has created in an agency mandated to broaden STEM participation. Our story: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You’ve heard it over & over: #vaccines do not cause autism. But if you’ve never seen the evidence, @matthewherper.bsky.social lays it out beautifully, linking to the best of the *dozens* of studies that have been done to show vaccines and autism aren’t linked. www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/v...

"Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old former camp counselor who called himself 'Big Balls' on LinkedIn before being tapped to do the bidding of a billionaire, held a call with SBA staff ..."

Why did pages supporting DEI need to be "under review" in the first place? @asm.org is not a government organization. It is not subject to the Executive Orders, which call for the systematic erasure of many ASM members. This is a pathetic, cowardly excuse for voluntarily complying with fascism.

In a global first, Uganda’s Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners today launched a first-ever vaccine trial for Ebola from the Sudan species of the virus, and at an unprecedented speed for a randomized vaccine trial in an emergency.🧵

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
