Enough said.

Public Health Success Is Fragile - The Return Of Measles Is Proof Measles is surging and vaccine hesitancy is up. In his book "Booster Shots," Dr Adam Ratner explains why measles is back and how we can control this deadly infectious killer.

Not that RFK Jr gives a damn, but measles is a deadly infection

It’s only been hours since the news that RFK jr was confirmed and I’m already getting patient messages and calls about checking vaccine titers and getting boosters before vaccines get taken away. #vaccinessavelives #scienceoversensationalism

Hey Mark, physician here. The issue isn’t medical school spots, cost and length of training contribute but there are not enough residency spots even for the existing physicians that graduate each year. Can you imagine finishing medical school, earning an MD/DO and not being able to care for people?

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on

Terrifying thought

Vaccines save lives.

This sums it up, yes.

My eyes are rolling so hard it’s painful.

Great, now that song is going to be stuck in my head all day 😂

Now we just need to get more patient awareness! I had a patient come in and his generic blood pressure medicine telmisartan was $366 for a 90 day supply with his insurance at his preferred pharmacy. I pointed out that this drug is 10.69 at your pharmacy for the same 90 day supply & he was floored.

Early days, but another exciting application of vaccine technology.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

BREAKING NEWS Democrats won the final House race after the Republican incumbent conceded in California's 13th District, giving the G.O.P. a 220-215 advantage.

Republicans will hold a 53-47 seat majority next year.

226 Kamala Harris 74,898,009 votes (48.43%) 270 TO WIN Estimated >99% of votes counted 312 • Donald J. Trump 77,193,105 votes (49.91%)

220-215. 53-47. 48.43%-49.91%.

No landslide. No realignment. Just an election.

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

This man has no business running our healthcare systems.

Opinion | What R.F.K. Jr. Might Do on Vaccines As the nation’s top health official, he could discourage vaccine research and production, and dissuade Americans from getting shots.

Vaccines save lives and reduce healthcare costs. Those are facts. It is dangerous that RFK Jr., a political figure with no medical or public health training, is the choice to take the nation’s most powerful and important public health job.

Voices of reason, evidence, & science. @mtosterholm.bsky.social & Zeke Emanuel. “Any actions that reduce the trust in and access to vaccines will result in an increase in serious illnesses, hospitalization & deaths not just in the United States but around the world.”

I just was saying this…. What a farce

Is Trump picking his cabinet or casting his latest reality tv show?

@glaucomflecken.bsky.social
Trump is clearly confusing casting his upcoming reality show with his cabinet, right?

So Dr Oz went from testifying in front of the Senate for peddling a weight loss scam to running unsuccessfully for Senate. Then his tv show was canceled and now he will be in charge of MEDICARE???
