These are the best among us—the brilliant minds who have devoted their lives to public service— being discarded like chaff. Thank you for your unwavering dedication. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/f...

First virus of the year, achieved. I’m a terrible patient and already over it (blaming my son for this one). The worst—zero stars, do not recommend. Also, I’m running a full metagenomic sequencing panel because I’m going to identify the little bastard and obliterate it.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is currently stacked with academic experts well versed in the science of vaccines. A new secretary of Health and Human Services could rapidly change that, Katherine J. Wu writes.

Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned. This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov. We must keep fighting for women’s rights.

Seems like every Friday there’s been some alarming new bird flu news to report so nice of the President to stop ruining the weekend for public health and virus people

Withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement is another gift from Donald Trump to his polluting billionaire donors. Taking on the climate crisis requires international cooperation, and the world should be able to count on the United States to be in that fight.

Sensationalist News Does No Good Reports of rising human metapneumovirus (hMPV) cases in China are being exaggerated, with false claims of a “new virus” and a state of emergency. The truth: hMPV isn’t new. It’s a well-known respiratory virus, and case fluctuations are normal—just like colds and flu.

Bad bad not good. Listen the WHO isn’t perfect but we are at our best when we work together with other nations for the health of people around the world. #IDSky

To be clear, this is how we obtain up to date information about outbreaks, new guidelines, new research opportunities and findings, new drug approvals. Without these we are moving in the dark and hindering progress #IDSky

Does anyone else in the community find this troubling? “On Monday evening, Trump signed an executive order stating the country’s intention to leave the World Health Organization. It’s a decision that’s likely to imperil public health both in the U.S. and globally.” gizmodo.com/why-trumps-d...

This bit gives me some hope. Congress generally doesn't like it when the Executive Branch meddles with their power. A turf war about who gets to decide whether or not we stick with the WHO may be enough to get a few Republican votes to overturn/override the Executive Order.

This was me in February 2017. I’ll keep marching for vaccines as long as I have to.

Surprised to see Jack Smith left off the pardon list. For someone who worked tirelessly to uphold the rule of law, you’d think he’d get the same consideration. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
