Happy to share that the results of the multicenter IIT — assessing pembrolizumab in combination with TMT for MIBC — have just been published in European Urology @EUplatinum .@DrDaveWise @ArjunBalarMD https://t.co/4Idvty1ttU

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

As a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. The birth dose is a recommendation, NOT a mandate.

Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year were infected with hepatitis B. Now, it’s fewer than 20. Ending the recommendation for newborns makes it more likely the number of cases will begin to increase again. This makes America sicker.

Acting CDC Director O’Neill should not sign these new recommendations and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.

@KidneyCancer I vividly remember 1st meeting him @ GUASCO as a fellow asking for advice. He challenged me, quoting Hamlet: "Diseases desperate grown, by desperate appliance are relieved, or not at all". Left an indelible impression on me to be the absolute best physician I could be for my pts
