I was honored to participate in the #StandUpForScience rally on Sunday in DC to stand up for #PublicHealth. Inspiring event, inspiring people and some great signs!
@apha.org
Dr. Deanna Wathington, the current @apha.org president kicks off #APHA2025 reminding us to continue to stand with courage.
Please join us for what is probably the first ever Rally for the Public's Health. We know that #PublicHealth has been under attack. Now is the time to stand up and take action in support. Hope to see you on the Mall on Nov. 5. www.apha.org/rally
Who is going to stand up to this insanity? #Congress where are you?
@altcdc.altgov.info @firedbutfighting.bsky.social
We stand with you.
You may not have heard. CDC was attacked on Friday, a victim of domestic violence fueled by the ignorance & misinformation of RFK jr and others. A police officer was killed. Louder for the people in the back FEDERAL WORKERS WERE ATTACKED. #Congress? #WhiteHouse?

Last week RFK Jr. pulled research funding for mRNA vaccines
He said “we reviewed the science” and “listened to the experts”
Wondering what science, and which experts? I was… (1/x) www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-ken...
#SpeakForHealth! Tell EPA it must maintain the Endangerment Finding. It is the legal foundation of EPA’s authority to regulate pollution and rolling it back would ignore decades of science with devastating consequences for public health. #ClimateChangesHealth
This was an attack on a federal institution. An attack BECAUSE it is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This was domestic terrorism.
Why isn’t it getting more press coverage? Some coverage, not enough.
Domestic. Terrorism.
Despite his assurances that he was not going to undermine access to vaccines, RFK Jr has been on a rampage, most recently canceling almost $500M in grants to study #mRNA vaccines and touting junk science as his rationale. #RFKHasGotToGo

Senator Sanders sat down with @apha.org Executive Director Dr. Georges Benjamin to discuss the impact of the #OBBA on the public's health. It is not pretty. We will all feel the negative impact of this legislation. youtu.be/CTstFwBJz_A?...
We oppose this bill because we understand the short and long term implications for the public's health are dire. Please hold your Senators and Representatives accountable for this health destroying legislation.
Congress passed a bill designed to destroy access to care for more than 15 million people, take away critical food from children and families, exacerbate climate change, make it harder for everyone to afford college.... Everyone will suffer. www.apha.org/news-and-med...

🚨Action alert! 🚨 As the Senate prepares to vote on budget reconciliation, tell your Senator to oppose cuts to #PublicHealth included in the bill. The massive funding cuts will make people sick or even worse let people die.

This. This is it. Access to care, education, weather information, safety, public health and so much more is being cut in service to billionaires tax cuts. If they got just 2% less, the R’s wouldn’t have to destroy everything else.

I had a chance to participate in a press event yesterday to discuss RFK Jr and the impact of his anti-science agenda on the public's health. Thank you to @repraulruizmd.bsky.social, an MD and public health champion, for giving @apha.org the chance to share our concerns.

So excited to start Day 2 of the @APHA.org Policy Action Institute with @brotherjones.bsky.social a leader and a partner in protecting the public’s health.

Just a reminder that the money being spent on Trump’s ego parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than four months.
Upset abt RFK Jr. firing the Vaccine Advisory panel? Here’s what you can do.

The steps RFK Jr took to dismantle Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice are not passive. He is intentionally trying to undermine both trust and the science in vaccines. Don't let him. Thanks @srjreports.bsky.social for this story.

We are now just 5 days away from the 2025 Policy Action Institute. Are you planning to attend? The speakers are fantastic and now, more than ever, we need to come together to build our advocacy and policy tools.

The decision to remove the experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replace them with people handpicked by RFK is yet another horrifying and anti-science move by the HHS Secretary that will put everyone's life at risk.

This is not just on Musk. Trump needs to be held responsible for these deaths too. And it is only a matter of time until we see children in America dying because of his actions and policies.
#PublicHealthSavesLives
Another RFK Jr decision that will in all likelihood kill people. Stopping the contract to do research on a vaccine to combat a potential future bird flu pandemic is not just stupid; it’s dangerous. There is no rationale for this decision. RFK Jr must be help accountable.
#RFKHasGotToGo
Real evidence to respond to another unfounded, non-scientific decision by RFK jr and friends. Thanks @altcdc.altgov.info for getting it right yet again!
#RFKHasGotToGo
A huge win for the good guys trying to protect the rule of law and the important work done by employees of the federal agencies to support the health and well being of the public. I’m proud @apha.org is a named plaintiff moving this case forward.

There is no way their goal is to make America healthy. These actions make it very clear their goal is to undermine the health and safety of everyone not just a few people in a few communities.
