If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

Good morning.
Let’s fix this headline...
Grifter scientist who spent years undermining mainstream COVID policy now discovers MMR is 97% effective, urges public to do what CDC has recommended since 1971.

No. American soldiers dying in an unjustified war of choice is NOT just "the way it is."
This is a disgraceful way to talk about the cost of war.
This is no Commander in Chief.
I find the news very frightening right now, but one thing that helps me is noticing the birds all around me
Do you want a reason to spend 10 minutes a day noticing your local birds? Then join me for this spring’s #TenMinMerlin, using the (free) app Merlin to notice birds. No experience needed!

Some of you need this. I’m happy to provide💚

Abhorrent and wanton destruction for a historical monument not owned by the individual currently occupying the White House, with no public review. The whole country would have said NO.

Live your life to the fullest.
If that involves bursting into a clattering cloud of ravens and disappearing into the darkness beneath the trees instead of answering another email from your boss, then so be it.

Statement on Feb 18, 2026 Acting CDC Director Announcement The National Public Health Coalition is once again disappointed with Sec. Kennedy and the Trump Administration. CDC staff were not notified about the Agency's new director, just as with the removal of Jim O’Neill, staff learned about their new leadership via reporting from the New York Times. The fact of the matter is, Jay Bhattacharya is Acting CDC Director in name only. We know that Sec. Kennedy is pulling the strings, deciding the health priorities on a whim, and cutting out public health professionals.
Statement on Feb 18, 2026 Acting CDC Director Announcement In the six months since Dr. Monarez was fired, the CDC continues to be in turmoil. Staff morale is at an all-time low, and staff are losing hope that they will have a permanent CDC Director, let alone one who is qualified to lead the agency. Our coalition continues to stand with CDC staff and demands the Administration nominate a qualified director immediately.
We, the National Public Health Coalition, released a statement about Feb 18, 2026 announcement from HHS. New Acting CDC Director Jay Bhattacharya will be starting ASAP. Note, Jay is the NIH Director.
Let's be clear this is in name only and RFK Jr is calling all the shots within HHS. (pun intended)
Let's continue our #publichealth #medlibs anti-racism work that some of us never stopped. Here's some suggestions. eagledawg.blogspot.com/2026/02/raci...

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.
During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.
Positive news 🚨: CDC’s global health teams have quietly contained 250+ outbreaks in 40+ countries, stopping Marburg, Ebola & more before they spread here. 🇺🇸🦠
A reminder that public health wins continue, even while 🧠 🪱 & co. actively try to silence the science. Scientists save lives every day! 💪🌍

Dr. Elders
Dr. Joycelyn Elders was the fifteenth Surgeon General of the United States, the first African American and only the second woman to head the U.S. Public Health Service. Long an outspoken advocate of public health, Elders was appointed Surgeon General by President Clinton in 1993. #blackhistorymonth

Pam Bondi refused to apologize to the Epstein survivors and essentially said, “I’m not going to get in the gutter with you.”
How is an apology to survivors getting in the gutter?
I’ll continue fighting for the courageous survivors who deserve much better than this DOJ.

Dr. David Satcher served as both CDC Director and U.S. Surgeon General, one of the few people to hold both roles.
He elevates mental health, racial health disparities, and prevention as national priorities, pushing public health beyond disease control to well-being and equity.

With each passing day a new set of actions marked as impeachable offenses occur, Trump is condensing the American public, who among us find rape, death, harm to children, racism, misogyny, stupidity as their cup of tea.
I propose we dump them and this tea in some port of harbor. Fish forgive me
Today we honor Vivien Thomas, an African American who worked as a lab assistant because he couldn't afford medical school. He helped develop a life-saving surgical procedure for babies with a congenital heart defects. In 1976 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

If you live in Illinois, you know about the baseball, hot dogs, and pizza. And now you have access to timely global public health alerts with IL becoming the second state after CA to join the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. Holy Cow!

74,000 patients enrolled in clinical trials were affected.
You don’t terminate funding for clinical trials midway & “order” patient care to continue.
That’s not how it works.
I can’t tell whether Jay Bhattacharya is lying or just showing off his sparkling incompetence.
