Alzheimer's disease must be a major donor, too? How is this cut popular with anyone?!

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

Some adults should consider getting revaccinated. That includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968. The CDC recommends that anyone vaccinated before 1968 get at least one dose of the live attenuated vaccine. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I have a NYT essay out this morning. There is very little that Americans can agree on these days. Not religion, not sports, and certainly not politics. But there is one thing nearly everyone agrees on: Vaccines are good. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/o...

The firings were not based on performance, but on how recently the individuals were hired. In some cases this information was not even correct. This will no doubt negatively impact our veterans, as the VA is already short staffed and has been facing a hiring freeze long before this went down.

All of the republican senators who voted for RFK Jr (and his dangerous antivax conspiracies) will have death on their hands...

Heartbreaking—and entirely preventable. A child in Washington has died from #pertussis, the first such death in the state since 2011. With the new administration's assault on science, we will see more tragedies like this. This is exactly why scientific progress and public health policies matter.

How's that sitting with you Senator Cassidy? www.rawstory.com/health-and-h...

RFK Jr. is a danger to public health. Every Republican senator who votes yes will own the consequences. When RFK Jr. follows anti-vax conspiracies instead of science, when he greenlights Trump's anti-abortion agenda, when he cuts healthcare for seniors — remember who voted yes.

As bird 🦅 flu spreads its wings, the White House’s Pandemic Office may well shrink under Trump. The Office is losing more than half of its 18-person staff. The Trump Admin has yet to fill multiple key pandemic-response positions… #BlueSky  #MedSky 🧪 #IDSky #scisky #EMSky time.com/7207599/trum...

A new study found a 62% reduction in cervical cancer deaths among women under 25 in the U.S. Dr. Ashish Deshmukh joins us to discuss the study and why the HPV vaccine, introduced nearly 20 years ago, is likely behind this decline.
