Moderna's stock priced has plummeted ~90% from it's highs during Covid. Its flagship mRNA technology being basically "under attack from Washington" certainly doesn't help. But there are other factors at play as well. @jasonmast.bsky.social and STAT's Damian Garde explain @statnews.com

I've honestly never heard that before! I definitely have a Boston accent, but I try to mask it a bit on video. Maybe my "trying-not-to-have-a-Boston-accent" accent sounds like a Canadian accent haha.

Sometimes doctors "fake" CPR. It's called a "slow code" in medical parlance. But "slow code" is really an umbrella term for all types of insincere attempts at CPR. Here's a clip from my new @statnews.com video on the topic

The CDC has a full-blown crisis on its hands. A *lot* happened at the agency in the last week. In this new video, I break down the wild sequence of firings and resignations, and the aftermath. I also learn why it is "Centers," plural (kinda obvious in retrospect.) @statnews.com youtu.be/hzc4YX39ry0

Sarepta and the FDA have gone back and forth over the last two weeks about which patients can access the gene therapy Elevidys. It's been a confusing, whiplash-inducing saga. I broke down the whole timeline, from its 1st approval to news that broke last night. youtu.be/XXf1KoOAhBw @statnews.com
