Ignoring disparities in health is not how you eliminate disparities in health. Trans people deserve to be seen and heard.

Our relatively high measles vaccine rates locally in Monroe County make local spread an unlikely way for measles to emerge here. Travel is a far more likely mode of transmission. Vaccination remains the most effective tool to prevent measles morbidity and mortality.

This would be “not unusual” if it was 1925. In reality, by “not unusual” RFK Jr actually means “very unusual”. The US has not seen a death from measles since 2015.

Sad and not unexpected. Measles is a problem that we shouldn’t even have. Please follow the science (spoiler alert: science says get your MMR vaccine). #publichealthsky

And to restate the obvious - there is no (and there never was) evidence to support the use of ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID. Misinformation is powerful. Best to listen to experts and people who are trained in the language and methods of science.

Excellent 🧵 on this evening's NIH announcement of a dramatic reduction in indirect rates for research institutions, which amounts to a generational restructuring of the US research and development ecosystem. These cuts are effective immediately, not just for new grants but for existing ones.

Threats to public health persist whether federal agencies communicate about them or not. Absent a federal voice, state and local public health agencies have a greater obligation to stay abreast of and communicate consistently about these threats to the public.

What does it actually mean for the US to withdraw from the WHO? (spoiler alert - generally not good news for global public health) www.statnews.com/2025/01/20/t...

Public health is global for a reason. Withdrawing the US from the WHO is one thing - this will have grave consequences for the CDC - but the actual scientists of the US understand that science will go on.

Unlike Covid, HMPV is well studied, and there is widespread capacity to test for it — luxuries that we did not have in the early days of Covid. There is broad population-level immunity to HMPV virus globally. This wasn’t the case with Covid initially.

Yet another cool Bluesky thing that makes me not miss Twitter/X, and frankly Facebook too for that matter: If you follow @listifications.app, they will DM you when you've been added to a list, starter pack, block list, or someone's blocked you and which user did so.

For our Brighton families…🙏🏽 “Whether you are a parent, caregiver or therapist, a death due to homicide is considered one of the most challenging types of death to talk about with children. The immediate aftermath of the death is a time of confusion and intense emotion for everyone involved.”
