Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

What does advocacy look like? Sometimes it looks like this. An Emmy nomination, a red carpet, and a story that desperately needed to be told. Honored to stand alongside the incredible team behind “What’s My Life Worth.” #Emmys #HealthCareVoices #NYT

The AMA's House of Delegates has adopted an emergency resolution opposing RFK Jr.'s move to gut the federal vaccine advisory council. The nation's top doctors association will seek a U.S. Senate investigation of his action, as well as alternate vaccine advice from elsewhere to invest in.

When safe, effective vaccines exist, testing updated versions (e.g., annual flu/COVID shot) by giving some participants a placebo is withholding treatment and thus is unethical. Immunobridging is used instead to evaluate the updated version. 🛟😷 medsky
Why placebos don’t belong in vaccine trials
Volunteers in vaccine trials help drive medical breakthroughs, but they don’t always get the real shot. In early studies, some received a placebo, a harmless injection with no active ingredient,

President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis is a reminder that 1 in 8 men will face this disease. As an oncologist, I hope his story sparks awareness around early detection, PSA screening, and access to care. Thinking of him and his family. #ProstateCancer #MensHealth #Oncology

(The only deaths that I know of from the measles *vaccine*, are in places where it was mixed with the wrong diluent - not a fault of the vaccine at all. Feel free to correct me if you have good data to the contrary.)

Colorectal Cancer Prevention: What You Need to Know
Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable — and treatable — cancers, but only if it’s caught early. Alarmingly, rates of colorectal cancer are rising, especially in younger adults. As a physician and advocate for cancer prevention, I recently had the opportunity to speak with ESPN to help raise awareness about this critical issue. Early Detection Saves Lives Routine screening can detect colorectal cancer in its earliest stages — sometimes even before symptoms appear.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer?

She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Most Americans still have no idea about how F'd this country is about to get. I think if they knew it would be too overwhelming to process so they prefer maintaining the delusion, "It won't be that bad."

It'll be very bad, folks. Hold on to your butts.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
