This gives me a modicum of hope for the future, after a dark few years. I mean days.

This was very helpful and (sadly) particularly salient right now it seems.

I wrote this based on my JHPPL article on inequitable administrative burdens of appealing coverage denials, incorporating a new interview I did with a doc who reviews claims for a major insurer and who said, "We’re told denying things is OK because people can appeal" www.statnews.com/2025/01/23/h...

Reading this from India, I have a whole new appreciation for President Carter’s public health work especially focused on eradicating waterborne disease.

Post-holiday me is regretting the nonchalance with which pre-holiday me agreed to a 6 am meeting.

I wrote a piece summarizing a few of the things Trump's pick to lead the NIH, Dr. Bhattacharya, got catastrophically wrong — especially in 2020. I’ve criticized public authorities, including for nonsensical and excessive measures (closing parks and beaches?). But let’s not rewrite history either.

Since I've unexpectedly picked up a ton of followers--allow me to introduce you to this program of compassion, kindness, and love, led by the extraordinary @thanhneville.bsky.social at UCLA Health. Follow, donate, and cheer them on as the light in our current sea of darkness, hate, and indifference.

The language of crisis is 💯 political. But it is easy and flashy. Public health is not political. But it requires an ability to parse information, accept uncertainty, and fundamentally, to care about each other. Things that apparently we are tired of. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

Still one of the best movies out there. Yes, it’s a comic. And Chadwick Boseman took it beyond the pages and into our current-day world. #mcu #marvel #blackpanther

“The HHS secretary can add or subtract vaccines from the list of protected childhood vaccines, &is in charge of declaring which public health emergencies warrant legal protections. For childhood vaccines, the law allows the secretary to make changes using a rulemaking process incl. a public hearing”

This is important. Amidst all the panic about nominees, is the real question: “How is [insert unqualified individual] actually going to ruin our lives?” This is one of those very real ways. Change vaccine approval committee -> insurers to stop covering them -> manufacturers stop making them.
