Removing the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation because cases are low is like canceling your car insurance because you haven’t crashed today.

Vaccinating babies against hepatitis B is a simple recommendation that saves lives—one based on solid science, & that has led to a dramatic drop in preventable infections and deaths.
Ending this recommendation will cost lives. RFK Jr. must answer to Congress.

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

This administration genuinely doesn’t care if queer kids live or die.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

An important message on naltrexone in patients with liver disease:
✅Naltrexone can help reduce alcohol use without harming the liver.
🚫Alcohol DOES harm the liver.

One of many ongoing attacks on public health. Very disheartening to see
The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth
In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

Fascinating GI grand rounds at Columbia on GLP1s. My take away - growing evidence of benefits in multiple areas, scarce significant side effects mostly GI, data on endoscopy/gastric emptying is limited, and no data yet accounts for rise in use via compound pharmacies. #GIsky #liversky

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.
