Told my kids about this and the nuclear workers. Their response “please i would like to live to 40” 😬 Wish i could say the chances were good.

This is so important for people to knowz Probationary means promoted, retired from the corps and rehired as civilians, fellows like the lls, and more! At the CDC this represents the loss of institutional knowledge and future leaders at the CDC and beyond.

Everything is fine 👀 “suspect 200-300 people with measles” “Haven’t called in CDC” ->Incidentally lots of CDC people fired over the weekend including LLS fellows ->most of the US is below the 95% coverage needed (looking at K vax status) to ensure herd immunity www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

The IHS is a core of public servants working in under resourced areas. This a serious breach of ethics and the government’s obligations to Native Americans. I was lucky enough to spend some time with the IHS on a reservation as a student. My experience was amazing and I will never forget it.

#Measles spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. Measles can affect anyone, but is most common in children. Vaccination with two doses of measles vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and your community bit.ly/2PxcYsj

What did they think was gonna happen? Rainbows and unicorns? People get abortions for many reasons. But health and safety are part of that. Now do maternal mortality.

Also while Im feeling fired up. Lets talk about indirect costs. (This analogy was passed along to me indirectly and i expanded it) You want to host a dinner, right? You look up a recipe, add the ingredients to your grocery list, get your money and go to the store. Cool. That money is your grant.

Gutted to hear about how they are destroying our public health infrastructure. I was an EISO years ago and though I no longer work for the federal government, my training there has made me a better doctor and human. CDC employees are critical to the health of our country and world.

Call your senators. Tell them to vote no on RFK jr. -vaccines save lives -access to immunizations will keep our families and communities healthy -the head of HHS should know the difference between medicare and medicaid -vaccines don’t cause autism

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Been busy, hiding from reality. Actually also just a lot going on. But i had to at the behest of the kiddos, that my cats broke into the churro and each chewed open a packet. Previously they have knocked over their dental treats, but this is a whole new level.

Cats sitting innocently on the bed last night after the black one mutilated my finger during a game of “lets attempt to make the bed with a cat inside it” and I had to give up so I didn't bleed to death. He has some kind of 6th sense for clean sheets.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day 17 (Sorry, long pause… busy life, weird dread about finishing the list 🤷‍♀️) #booksky 💙📚 #books #bookchallenge

Scientific error-checking. Difficulty: Medium-Hard. Spot the mistakes in this table 1 from an RCT. There is one relatively easy issue, and two harder ones that I've found so far.
