50 years from now, if there are still humans, they will not understand how we had the ability to eliminate deadly diseases and intentionally chose not to use it

WTF Florida

Academia and research need a broad, national PR campaign ASAP

I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. Is there any way to still protect our health and keep the integrity of science?

If you disagree w/the Speaker, call his office!

“I’ve been asked so many times, ‘Aren’t you uncomfortable with this?’ No, I’m not,” Mr. Johnson told reporters: “There’s a presupposition in America that the commander in chief is going to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars.”

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Thoughts on an ad campaign on how NIH, CDC, WHO help us?
"Your Ozempic was developed with $xxx in NIH funding"
"Want to know if people in your state have bird flu? The CDC does that"
"Are any new diseases headed to the US? The WHO can let us know"

This is clearly a sign that we all need to be buying way more @benandjerrys.bsky.social ice cream.

It’s our patriotic obligation.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

I encourage all of us in the medical field in the US to urge our professional societies and the healthcare systems we work for to unequivocally and publicly advocate against the executive orders regarding the WHO, NIH, CDC - and any others as they arise.

Trump's Gag Order Halts CDC Publication MMWR did not publish as usual at 1 p.m. today

BREAKING: For the first time in its more than 60-year history, the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) did not go out as scheduled because of a communications pause at federal health agencies issued by the Trump administration. #medsky www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

Under Trump, we could be flying blind when it comes to bird flu, other infectious diseases President Trump announced he's pulling the U.S. from the WHO. Now researchers are scrambling to understand what that means for the H5N1 bird flu pandemic.

Under trump will we be flying blind when it comes to #birdflu? #h5n1 #medsky www.latimes.com/environment/...
