N.Y.U. Langone Cancels Doctor’s Speech, Citing Anti-Government Tone Dr. Joanne Liu, an N.Y.U. graduate, said the cancellation of her presentation on humanitarian crises was a sign of the climate of fear at U.S. universities.

Unreal! NYU cancelled Joanne Liu’s talk on humanitarian crises? Shame on you NYU Langone!

Amen

Thank you for doing this. We need as much media as possible in the mainstream press.

Does anybody know EIS officers who are writing about what happened to them? We need as much publicity about decimation of public health as possible. And the potential consequences. In mainstream media and TV. #IDsky

Yup. And it’s embarrassing to be a citizen of that country. Have faith that there are many of us who are fighting for better leaders.

Time for everyone to re-learn clinical manifestations of diphtheria, polio, and measles… #meded #IDsky

Small reminder that action works: GDF announced a new price for bedaquiline: $90 per treatment, a 54% reduction since Aug 2023. Thx to @tbfighters.org for joining the fight!
Bdq price is now in the target range ($48-102 ) estimated in 2017, and considered wildly unrealistic by naysayers.

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023.

This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

Measles Outbreak Mounts Among Children in One of Texas’ Least Vaccinated Counties - KFF Health News With hospitalizations and at least a dozen cases, health officials race to contain a growing outbreak in a community with low vaccination.

🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected.

This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government.

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

@msf.ca @msf has collected a lot of data about mortality/morbidity of snake bite in many countries in Africa. Don’t know if you’re seen this data. Cost/shortages of antivenem is a huge issue.

Shunned and shamed, Pakistan’s trans community finally gets help for TB Often forced into sex work, trans people are at higher risk of tuberculosis but face abuse when they seek treatment. Now screening and outreach work are helping tackle the disease

Same thing for vaccines. It’s our moral and professional duty to speak up.
