Since @defendpublichealth.bsky.social launched this effort, more than 4500 people have sent letters to their Senators. We’d love for you to join us in this effort.

Whomever bought the square where the cow shits is the winner.

This was in Indiana, you will be unsurprised to hear.

Vinay Prasad, who helped lead a campaign against lifesaving mRNA vaccines at FDA, is being welcomed back to the University of California San Francisco, where he was prior to joining the Trump administration.

Whatever happened to Gandhi, by the way? She’s been passed over for so many opportunities.

My favorite anecdote is that she gave a talk up at ASU and presented data from one of my papers but didn’t cite it lol.
