Public health today is under attack, but nobody is rushing to save it

Why?

When public health works, NOTHING happens - bad things are prevented and nobody even knows

Because the successes are not visible, people take it for granted

Public health must communicate our successes

We must be visible

Due to this outbreak, the number of cases of necrotizing fasciitis is expected to rise significantly. I’m grateful that universities and news media outlets are covering the “what to know” in place of the CDC’s neglect.

Yet they ignore the fact that the birth rates would increase if the majority of America made a decent livable wage and cost of living didnt increase with it.

Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American."

It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

This is absolutely crazy.

With the ongoing debate around the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s passing on the eve of the celebration of the US freedom, an unwanted disease is spreading in our domain. Public health & medical professionals are preparing for a “new norm” of increased dengue cases in our country.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.

And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Nah, I’m good paying anybody but Elon.

By canceling $250 Million of #NIH grant funds to #columbia, #trump saved each person $0.74. You out here saving big bucks, ain’t you? I wonder how much $$ was spent to cancel those contracts. #endfascism.

Dear @Doge

If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

If someone send you an article about something that may affect you and you shouldn’t dismiss it because you don’t like their source. You should look into the issue on both sides of the aisle and come to a reasonable conclusion. This “Us vs. them” thing is getting really old.

Trump orders USDA to take down websites referencing climate crisis Forest service website among many sites affected as agencies scramble to comply with president’s orders

This will only hurt farmers and US agriculture and do absolutely nothing to change the science and reality of climate change.

Yeah, if only people would vote to shut it down. I believe we can #impeachtrump before it gets worst.

CDC Purging Its Website After Trump Orders Agency removed certain pages related to gender issues, HIV, and that said 'pregnant people'

Due to Trump orders the #CDC purges information on #lgbtq health disparities, #environmentaljustice, #safefood #preventinghiv, and clinical considerations for use of #vaccine for #mpox #prevention.

RFK Jr. kept asking to see the science that vaccines were safe. After he saw it, he dismissed it The man who hopes to be President Donald Trump’s health secretary says he needs to see data showing vaccines are safe, but he dismissed the evidence shown by an influential Republican senator.

It’s called arguing in bad faith. RFK repeatedly asks for people to show data on the safety of vaccines (which was his responsibility to review as an applicant for HHS secretary) but when presented with reams of data, he dismisses it

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
