Children should not be dying from measles. Having people in charge of our public health agencies who push false narratives and misinformation are dangerous. Hard stop. #publichealth open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

It has been a crazy week with lots of deep breaths needed. Even the public health and medical students I met with this week are worried. Thinking of all my ##publichealth, #meded, and others feeling a bit overwhelmed after these last few days.

We had this come up at a recent school board meeting. She used our school musical as an example of why we should focus on a merit-based approach (auditions) instead of DEI, but without seeing the diversity of the cast and that DEI gives all a chance to show off their talents

@cnn.com Please stop normalizing the crazy things he says. It is not okay for the President-Elect to talk about invading multiple sovereign countries, including our allies.

I keep wondering where we have failed in #meded that so many physicians in leadership roles don't support vaccination

Not only does this put the lives of individuals at risk, but is also why we are struggling to staff our local #publichealth departments.
