With a vaccine doubter who has created his own pseudo-medical journal in charge of health, it is very likely that reliable health information and systems will deteriorate. Expect this. #medlibs

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

This is a very interesting point. Will #MESH indexing change extensively at the next refresh? Will all that work on population groups be scrubbed? Will the US Federal Court order for CDC etc to restore info pre Jan30 affect any possible changes? #medlibs #librariessavelives #ebm #publichealthmatters

I just tried cdc.gov in the Wayback Machine and it seems that the archive has been purged or is temporarily unavailable. The US has entered 1984-land. #medlibs

vajenda.substack.com/p/personhood... #womenshealth is severely threatened in the US. It's very concerning. If you want access to the sites @drjengunter.bsky.social mentions in this post, try using the Wayback Machine web.archive.org. The NIH site is reporting heavy traffic right now. Hmmm.. #medlibs

I did a mini-update of my latest blog post: We once had a question that was a bit of a head scratcher: a bibliographic list of all papers within a certain timeframe authored by researchers from hospital radiology departments Australia-wide. How would you approach this? #medlibs

Soooo ... a job posting where the main role is to search for information to pass on to healthcare staff. But the list of professions listed that are encouraged to apply doesn't include medical librarians. What gives?! #medlibs www.seek.com.au/job/81395469

With the new US administration coming in, I'm concerned about the fate of #Pubmed. The proposed health agency head is a terrible choice. As part of disaster planning, the National Library of Medicine should move Pubmed to a hosting service in Europe. #medlibs
