I had the great privilege of serving in the EIS Class of 2015, responding to dozens of disease outbreaks and novel health threats. The program is a crowned jewel of U.S. public health and a model for other countries. Cutting this program does not, in any way, make our country healthier.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Most Americans still have no idea about how F'd this country is about to get. I think if they knew it would be too overwhelming to process so they prefer maintaining the delusion, "It won't be that bad." It'll be very bad, folks. Hold on to your butts.

Dem leaders need to start holding national security press conferences explaining to Americans how Elon and Trump are dismantling agencies and seeking sensitive information on federal workers and all Americans. What Elon and co are doing will endanger everything from flying to attacks in U.S.

🚨 The CDC website is purging resources on LGBTQ+ health, diversity, equity, and health disparities. This is not just a bureaucratic change. It’s a dangerous decision with profound negative public health consequences. Let’s break down the harm this will cause. 🧵⬇️

Our American #MedSky colleagues have been scrabbling around the #CDC website today trying to download resources and guidelines before they were taken down. I know some friends who downloaded PDFs in time. Is anyone collating these #CDCDownloads?

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

As the holidays approach, I’ve faced these challenges in clinic: 1️⃣ Telehealth at risk for Medicare/VA patients. 2️⃣ Prior auth delays harm patients. 3️⃣ Clinician shortages delay care. 4️⃣ Reproductive care under attack. 5️⃣ Burnout crisis. 💬 Healthcare isn’t just a business—it’s about lives. #MedSky

Isn’t it amazing that when bullying behavior happens to others, it’s easy to give advice and guidance. But when it happens to you, it’s hard to figure out what to do in the moment.
