Associated Press: “Too young for the MMR shot, babies become ‘sitting ducks’ in measles outbreaks”

“Babies too young to be vaccinated are among the most vulnerable in a measles outbreak. The disease can wreak havoc on their fragile bodies”

Some very depressing forecasts on the impact of USAID cuts in the recent @asteriskmgzn special edition

[Congressman Raul Ruiz, M.D. @RepRaulRuizMD]

As an emergency physician, I’ve seen firsthand how Community Health Workers bridge gaps in care for our most vulnerable. I introduced a resolution designating Aug 26-30 as National Community Health Worker Awareness Week to honor their dedication & vital role in public health!

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Join me tomorrow at Noon ET for a special two-hour livestream on the Vlogbrothers YouTube channel!

Dr. Joia Mukherjee from @PIH will join me for the first hour. We’ll talk about why (and how) PIH does what it does.

We’ll also be honoring Nerdfighter Amit who passed away late last year. He asked that $28,000 of his life insurance be donated to PIH as a match to be met by Nerdfighteria. There will be a link to match his donation during the stream.

See you tomorrow and DFTBA!

[Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne]

Today, I met with Newark's Tahab Talib and the National Association of Community Health Workers to discuss support for The Community Health Workers Access Act and a resolution to recognize National Community Health Worker Awareness Week.

The Gospels call us Christians to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, welcome the stranger. House Appropriation bill harm the most vulnerable.

I want to be very clear that no one is SUGGESTING that people will die because Johnson & Johnson is trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.

Instead, people are STATING THE FACT that people will die because of Johnson & Johnson trying to immorally extend their patent on bedaquiline an additional 4 years after its 20-year term.

[John Green @sportswithjohn]

An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. https://t.co/JArPHWpmv5

Covid was the No. 3 cause of death in America between 2020-2022.

It's receded a lot - but still on pace to be a top-10 cause of death this year.

I like how “professional opinion” here implies that complaining about refs is a core function of his job

[LeBron James @KingJames]

His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion

[Eric Reinhart @_Eric_Reinhart]

To fix US public health and remake our healthcare system, we must shrink medicine. This is counterintuitive to some, but medical care today is primarily reactive. Most healthcare needs could have been avoided if we had community-based, lay-run preventive care systems. 1/
