#ACIP votes 6-4 to recommend that children could just get one dose of vaccine and then have post-vaccination serologic testing to see if more vaccines should be given. Multiple members remind the committee that there have been no studies or evidence to understand if this strategy would work.

Thankful to have the powerful and passionate voice of the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr Susan Kressly, on with us this morning.

We will not stay silent and be cowed by utter nonsense at the top. More of this incoming.

Thank you @ameracadpeds.bsky.social

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

CIDRAP’s Vaccine Integrity Project has released a major evidence review: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion is unmistakable.

There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

thank you to everyone who joined us in front of the White House today.

So many reasons to protest against this Administration's deadly and unlawful actions, fueling the #AIDS pandemic.

Grateful for the power of activism. #WorldAIDSDay #WAD2025 healthgap.org/press/world-...

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Trump's Education Dept wants to 'declassify' nursing as a professional field. In its proposal, the department is changing definitions of professional degree programs & excludes nursing altogether. Changing the definition blocks nursing students from federal loans & loan forgiveness programs👇

Boys need it too. I had HPV-positive throat cancer. If parents can ensure their child doesn't have to endure that treatment later in life, well, they should.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
