I support these 100%- and still hope for some local flavor involving either a pierogi race gone awry or injury at the furry convention.

The Pitt has plans to tackle stories next season related to federal health care cuts. I've got some ideas in a new column out in @jama.com.

In a bit of good news, a judge has blocked the funding ban on Planned Parenthood nationwide. The ban would have cut off millions of people from low-cost prenatal care, birth control, vaccinations, STI screenings, and fertility treatments. Medicaid payments will continue while the suit proceeds.

it occurred to me while I was in an especially gruesome mood last week that @unbreaking.org is essentially doing what AI summaries claim to be doing, just with rigor and real citations and as much accuracy as a bunch of devoted people can achieve, but make it human volunteers 🫠

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s
