Tired of living in an Onion article. No offense @theonion.com, I am not suggesting you had anything to do with this. I know you are better than that.

RFK Jr. says Deep State ‘is real,’ called FDA employees ‘sock puppet’ of industry The HHS secretary’s remarks shocked staffers at the Food and Drug Administration, prompting some to walk out.

Wtf. Do we have a dumpster fire emoji yet?

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

ASPR COVID-19 Testing NAVIGATION

If you need covid tests or know anyone who does, the current administration is going to stop the free test program as soon as it becomes cheaper to destroy them than store them. Right now, you can still order 4 free tests. COVIDtests.gov

Unreal that is has come to this. For those not familiar with what this means: the National Cancer Institute (NCI) clinical trials center has been the beating heart if not the epicenter of cutting edge innovations in #healthcare for many decades.

That's it. That's the post.

Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.

Trump maintains funding freeze at NIH, defying court order The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information.

“The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding… The funding freeze at NIH violates two federal court injunctions, two legal experts said.”

Should we tell the Biology 101 failures in the Montana legislature that there are no “gene-based vaccines?”

NIH announces new funding policy that rattles medical researchers The National Institutes of Health has dramatically changed its grant-making terms by limiting how much it will disperse for costs such as equipment and administration.

JFC. Capping overhead at 15% and potentially making it retroactive?? Granted, I think some institution overhead rates are far too high, but this is going to break some labs and will have a significant impact on a lot of institutions.

FDA Alerts Patients of Potential to Miss Critical Safety Alerts Due to Phone Settings When Using Smartphone-Compatible Diabetes Devices The FDA is alerting patients of a safety concern regarding diabetes devices that rely on a smartphone to deliver critical safety alerts.

#FDA is allowed to release safety info.

⚠️ Patients with CGMs that use a smartphone should monitor their settings to make sure they are receiving their alerts and alarms when devices have software updates or are on DND.

This is particularly important education for patients who aren't tech savvy.

HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻

@europepmc.org does have all* of PubMed indexed (and indeed partners with PMC for full text) - in addition to other sources (incl. for preprints).

OpenAlex (openalex.org) and Lens (lens.org) similarly include all* PubMed records, as does @openaire.bsky.social (but less easy to filter in webUI)

So now we are going to refer to any healthcare DEI initiatives as "personalized medicine" and "pharmacogenomics," right?

Just dropping this here... any publication with a CC BY-NC 4.0 license can be distrubuted in any form that is not commercial. A CC BY-4.0 license can be adapted even for comerical purposes. All you have to do is cite the article and post the license... even if the article is retracted.

FFS. Here we go. Calling all of my #medcomm people, now is the time to start capturing these articles and getting the info out there in other forms before they can be retracted.

This right here is what is important. Download all the CDC/NIH/NIAID files you think you need. Review their strategy plans because it is all going to have to come from states, institutions, and industry for a long time. Make sure the edication you are getting and giving is valid and referenced.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled.

Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.

This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

If RFK is confirmed, yes, the CDC and NIH are basically done.
