There is no greater five alarm fire than this. I don’t know how to break through to Republicans about the impact of ending VICP, but I won’t stop posting about it, and neither should you. Call your elected reps. Write letters. This is a living nightmare.

Agree, but I choose to interpret this as a secret dig on cefdinir. Someone told a bunch of pediatricians that it is the oral equivalent of ceftriaxone (it is not for most indications) and now it is contributing to resistance and ineffectively trying to treat infections.

Unfortunately, as a resident and pediatrician in DeKalb county, can confirm that these are needed. Agree the idiocracy in the US is not helpful, but I saw a fair amount of TB in DeKalb and Fulton 15 years ago as a med student.

Vested Interests. Influence Muscle. At RFK Jr.’s HHS, It’s Not Pharma. It’s Wellness. - KFF Health News Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lambasted federal agencies he accused of being overly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry. But he and other β€œMake America Healthy Again”...

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. has derided federal health agencies as being under the thumb of the pharmaceutical industry. But ethicists say the financial ties he and other β€œMake America Healthy Again” notables have to the U.S. wellness industry raise red flags.

Love this rivalry. I am partial to Carlos, but Sinner definitely played better. I told my son that I am always impressed with how friendly they are after a hard, long battle! 🎾

Not only did this scammer take $100K in his scam lying to kids, he also destroyed more than $28K of federally-purchased vaccines - taxpayers paid for - when vaccines first became available. It’s not just RFK and it’s not just β€œskepticism.” Our government is willing to lose money to promote antivaxx.

Senator @campbell4tn.bsky.social is correct. Senator @MarshaBlackburn is lying.

Never has cutting $1 Trillion from a program β€œstrengthened” it. She thinks we are all
idiots.

People will lose coverage. Hospitals will close. All for a tax cut for herself and her donors.

1/ Your local hospital.
Your kid’s checkups.
Your parents’ nursing home.
They’re all at risk.

Congress just passed the largest #Medicaid cuts in U.S. historyβ€”$1 trillion over 10 yearsβ€”and most Americans have no idea how this could affect them, even if they aren't on Medicaid.

But did they learn Lotus 123?

Also, USB is so much easier than parallel or serial ports. Weren’t any Windows update drivers when I learned to install drivers with floppy disks.
