Today we learned the sad news another kid died from measles in Texas.

We also learned what RFK Jr. will and will not say

And we got a clearer glimpse of the playbook being used to discredit the proven measures to tackle measles outbreaks

Let me tell you why I'm worried 🧵

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

Some day in the future, people will wonder why an outbreak ran amok, why a promising cancer therapy didn't make it the last mile, why the safeguards in our communities don't seem to be what they were. And it will trace back to this.

Not papercuts - jugular lacerations.

We have lost a generation of scientists and public servants, whose institutional memory and works in progress will be lost to our nation with their abrupt dismissals

RIP ❤️ Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be a blessing.

“One well-timed grant can seed a line of sustained inquiry that leads to something meaningful for the health and longevity of Americans; a missed grant can delay or derail that work,” @choo_ek writes.

My friend and colleague @choo_ek wrote this very nice piece on what it means that the NIH canceled study section meetings and advisory councils last week, and why it is more dangerous than we might think:

Aw jeez, not this again.

According to this consultant, hospitals now *lose* an average of $304,312 per physician per year.

🤦🏻

Guess it’s time for another thread on Budgetary Gerrymandering.

I am beyond honored that my neighbors have chosen me to be the next congresswoman for Oregon’s Fifth Congressional District.

I am also proud to be the first – but not the last – Black Member of Congress from Oregon.

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

If “please let us get emergency abortions” is your ask, you are asking for less than we had BEFORE Roe. I’m not saying this isn’t an important ask, but I am saying that Roe—a middling victory—was achieved by demanding far more.

If you are putting the blame on protestors for losing this election then you aren’t actually paying attention.

Grieve, rest, debrief, strategize, build.

God if I weren’t in the business of health care… But we just keep on weaving the safety nets. What else can we do?

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Dems did everything we could to stop him last time. Restrain him. Keep things functioning *as normal.*

I don’t think we should this time. He won. This is what the people voted for. This is what people want. They should get it. It’s the only way people will learn.

RFK running DHHS felt as likely as an Onion article until now
