I missed you, #blueskyartshow. Good to be back. Sharing an old favorite. #Dream big. #EastCoastKin

Meanwhile, DOJ lawyers are threatening medical journals for not providing adequate "viewpoint diversity" and for misinforming their readership, which I suppose means not publishing enough of the stupid shit that RFK Jr., JB, etc. keep saying. This is an outrageous First Amendment violation.

Essential fact-checking of the *state-sponsored misinformation* being propagated through COVID.gov now. Superb thread from @adamjkucharski.bsky.social 👇🏽 #medsky #idsky #publichealth

“How do we know where to draw the line, and when it is time to resist? The touchstone must be science, the evidence from rigorous, published, peer-reviewed research. We must draw the line when the science is clear that a policy will increase the risk of disease, complications, or premature death.”

These are the divisions eliminated in CDC. Apparently the man who claims he’s going to address chronic conditions does not want smoking or miner’s health addressed, or lead poisoning, to name just a few. Because he’s not really trying to address chronic illness. He just wants to remove vaccines.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Been there, done that! No need to reinvent the wheel. Vaccines don’t cause autism. #medsky #pedsky #vaccineswork

I asked the AMA a week ago for a refund on my hospital-funded membership; I was denied. I would rather put that fee to early retirement investment than fund that useless organization! #Medsky

Mmmhmmmm 🤔 Maybe if we weren’t being racist (and wasting time/money) by removing DEI content, these “mistakes” wouldn’t happen.

“I expect we will know in 1-3 mos. whether NIH will remain a viable institution where we can do science. If [reductions in force and reorgs] are done, paired with the efforts to control universities like Columbia through NIH grants, I think that will be a sign of the functional #BlueSky #MedSky

A 5-yr-old burned to death in a sealed glass coffin of pressurized oxygen that an “alternative medicine” wellness center claimed could treat his ADHD. This was a cash business providing unapproved therapies. There is no evidence to support hyperbaric for ADHD; there’s not even a plausible mechanism.

This is appalling for the mistreatment, the arbitrary refusal to honor a valid visa, and the contempt of court, but on top of that: We do not have enough transplant physicians. They are worth more than their weight in gold. The Trump admin just deported one solely out of bigotry.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

The majority of rural hospitals are teetering on the brink of closing. This cut to their reimbursements will finish most of them off leaving small towns having to drive to regional medical centers for routine care.

WOW! Y’all have sent literally THOUSANDS of emails since we released this form a few hours ago. Keep it up! Let your congressional delegation know how you feel about their actions, whether you’re thankful or scornful. They need to hear it either way.

76 notices of grant opportunities have been unpublished by the NIH. It’s likely all the grants funded under each of these mechanisms will be terminated. Look at what will be lost, eg: Addressing the Impact of Structural Racism and Discrimination on Minority Health and Health Disparities

DOGE cuts are endangering lives in countless ways, and now U.S. veterans are being targeted. Trump imposed a hiring freeze at the V.A. which resulted in the abrupt halting of clinical trials for a new drug to treat veterans with advanced cancer. The federal hiring freeze is now…
