1/ Buckle up, folks. We’re in the thick of a very rough flu season.

Katelyn has escaped to the Amazon jungle, so we enlisted the help of our friend Jess Steier from @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social for this week's #publichealth Dose. We're talking flu, measles, at-home HPV testing, and more 👇

ERs are already overwhelmed, with patients waiting hours to be seen. Letting infectious diseases run rampant will not help the public's health . Children are going to unnecessarily die from this uniformed decision.

The American childhood vaccine schedule is similar to many of its European counterparts.

Suggesting otherwise is a lie.

And we aren’t Denmark. They have universal healthcare, low economic inequality, and low childhood poverty.

The President should focus on addressing those differences first.

1/ Well, he did it. He actually did it.

RFK Jr. just issued a unilateral directive to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This isn’t based on new data or new evidence, and he bypassed every scientific and clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.

The U.S. has surpassed 2000 documented measles cases this year, the highest in more than 30 years.

This is driven by rampant disinformation about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including in his capacity as a government official.

We will lose our elimination status shortly.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.
