ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own.

Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Trump signs proclamation imposing annual $100,000 fee on H-1B visas Move deals potentially major blow to US tech industry, which relies heavily on workers from India and China

25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year.

Mr. President: Operation Warp Speed & the COVID vaccine were a success. As you have stated, they saved “tens of millions of lives.”

Vaccines have also helped eliminate polio, measles and mumps.

Vaccines work. Let us listen to doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists.

Maybe the only we survive this is with a twinge of sarcasm and very dark humor😞.

AMA opposes RFK Jr.'s dismantling of vaccine panel, seeks Senate investigation Delegates resolved that the nation's largest doctors group will advocate in support of the longstanding ACIP structure.

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.

Proud to be a Colorado State Ram, and sad to see only one Big 10 represented!

Pediatricians reading the MAHA report on children's health written by a commission made up of 12 politicians, a gastroenterologist, an internist, and an MD that never did a residency.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

RFK Jr starts having a tantrum as Chris Murphy details how he lied during his confirmation hearing about his anti-vax views

Shrinking! Hilarious show

Tariffs will have a significant impact on the nuclear imaging supply chain in the US "Domestic radiopharmaceutical suppliers, who receive isotopes from abroad, would be impacted by price changes and uncertainty caused by additional tariffs,” SNMMI President Cathy Cutler, PhD, wrote in...

Nuclear Medicine leaders told the U.S. Department of Commerce this week that tariffs will likely have a significant impact on nuclear imaging since more than 80% of diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures rely on imported radioisotopes.

The Committee That Could: A Model for Rapid Service Structure Change - The Hospitalist University of Wisconsin division of hospital medicine developed a Service Structure Task Force to quickly address issues

Thanks to The Hospitalist for highlighting our little committee that could! #hospitalmedicine #hospitalist

Phew, guess I can claim to be a survivor of all my (very safe) Pfizer series. Made it through! ✊🤡

There’s a few things that are silly (they don’t always wear masks during sterile procedures) and I’m glad I don’t admit from that ER, lol. But overall, excellent acting and use of jargon. I was fully sucked in.

Hi, I’m God.

How many pandemics must I send before humans once again learn to revere scientists?

How many millions must die? Not trying to be dramatic, just earnestly inquiring for My Notes.

Thanks,

God

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

Can’t buy elections, Elon. Yay Wisconsin!

Anyone who still think automatic weapons belong in the hands of the public should watch tonight’s episode of #thepitt

That show is so GOOD! Except for not wearing masks during sterile procedures lol

Pass it on.

Need to get my kids passports

Given what's happening at the NIH and CDC, I am reminded of this cartoon. MAHA is going to find out the hard way the vaccines and modern medicines are important.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Enjoy the sopapillas and platform divers!

Oh man what a cute distraction from the doomscrolling!

At least 22 children and two adults infected in Texas measles outbreak Nine of those infected were hospitalized and more cases are likely, health authorities said. U.S. vaccination rates for measles are falling, according to the CDC.

25 years ago measles was declared eliminated in the United States due to the success of vaccination. In 2024, there were outbreaks in 33 states, 90% of which were in the unvaccinated.
