NIH review sections and council meetings still cancelled through a loophole effectively halting the NIH's ability to award any new grants! This will have severely negative effects on research, science and health!

Sadly, it would not surprise me in the least if this is confirmed to be true. As soon as he was nominated for HHS, I predicted that RFK Jr. would replace several (or even all) ACIP members with antivax fake "experts."

This is true, my 9 yo kid just got dose 1. (I'm an ID doc & avid purveyor of vaccine literature.)

How cool is this??!! 🚨Good news !!🚨 Jazzsky www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

The number of measles cases in Texas has increased since Tuesday from 58 to 90. Of these, 94% were unvaccinated or have unknown vaccine status, and 16 were hospitalized (18%). The health department will update on Tuesdays and Fridays. www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

No word from CDC as Texas measles outbreak continues to grow. The CDC measles page hasn't been updated since Feb 7 so this outbreak isn't reflected. No MMWR report, no Health Advisory, no nothing. We are on a dangerous path.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

With President Trump’s administration — and Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency — announcing cuts to the National Institutes of Health research grant budget, researcher jobs in Nevada could be significantly imperiled. Read more here: https://buff.ly/4huBmmJ

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Capped off a fun 4 days in NYC hearing the Hot 8 Brass band. Tuba goals!

I wrote about why measles is so contagious, and my article has unfortunately only become more topical over time. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

MAHA==Measles Are Here Again

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Apparently in addition to super high levels of flu everywhere, which is bad enough, the CDC is also now investigating cases of flu related acute necrotizing encephalitis in children. Get vaccinated y’all.

The sounds of a clinical day shape patient care in unnoticed ways. Two family doctors reflect on how these everyday noises reveal tacit skills, emotions, and connections in their practice. @ucalgarymed.bsky.social www.annfammed.org/content/23/1...

It’s not too late to get a flu shot!

Bet he removes the HPV vaccine from the schedule by next week
