After the drastic change in guidance to no longer keep allergenic foods away from babies until 1 to 3 years of age and instead introduce them by 6 months of age, the prevalence of egg allergy among children fell by more than 17% in a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. https://t.co/DAYqlFom8N
🚨 WOW! Secretary Rubio is taking NO BS from Dem Rep. Ted Lieu, he keeps DESTROYING them
LIEU: Trump can't even stay awake during meetings!
RUBIO: He's NOT falling asleep
LIEU: YOU'RE LYING
RUBIO: Is this a JOKE!? This is a Foreign Affairs Committee you're asking about SLEEP [...] Absurd and ridiculous. I can't believe we're in a Foreign Affairs Committee with questions about someone who thinks he's a MEDICAL EXPERT when he's NOT! We HAD a cognitively impaired president for 4 years. THIS president is a guy that literally DOESN'T sleep, works long hours every day. I talk to him day and night, HE WORKS INHUMANE HOURS. I've been on trips where he doesn't sleep the whole flight, he's wandering the hallways to wake people up and talk to! He has an INCREDIBLE amount of energy.
He's so good.
If you thought CDC morale was in the toilet after literally getting shot at last year, then watching 25% of the workforce get axed while the rest were told to "do more with less" in emergencies... just wait until you tell them they're being shipped to a 50%+ fatality Ebola hot zone halfway around the world, with a rumored 3 days of training, and zero promise of medevac home for real U.S. standard-of-care treatment if they get infected.
Imagine telling troops heading to Iran: "Go fight for America, but if you get blown up, you're staying in the desert. Don't worry though - we're building an 'Alligator Alley' field hospital. You'll be fine!"
This isn’t sound health policy (for reasons detailed below by @ashishkjha). This is the American Hunger Games - except the tributes wear hazmat suits and the Capitol won’t even fly the losers home.
@drterrysimpson@JeromeAdamsMD We spent 25 years doing disaster prep with varying degrees of success. Looks like a golden opportunity to look at what works (drug and vaccine development etc.) and what doesn’t (I’ll keep this to myself and not speculate).
@KarenStrine3@JeromeAdamsMD Considering they are taking the bodies of diseased Ebola patients and burning down the Ebola hospitals, I think the education part was a failure.
Nice wish list but when NATO decided to abandon the US and almost all Democrats and a few soulless Republicans joined in not sure you were getting that. If NATO said we are fully invested and will reopen the Strait while blockading Iranian ports we could have gotten more. When Spain closed their airspace on day one we were handcuffed. If Iran doesn’t follow through and give up the Nukes we could be back to a shooting war in a few months.
The amount of PPE we have purchased and subsequently trashed over the last 25 years at my small community hospital is staggering. Could that $ been used for more impactful programs? Opiate use disorder? Maternal/child programs? Seems we like to spend based on headlines. And spend we do. $1 Billion per year to the DRC and apparently we made zero lasting effect on local healthcare as they were pretty much completely reliant on the US.
Why are we the only source of funding for the DRC? How can we justify $1 Billion per year to one country?!? Agreed we need to help where we can with healthcare in poorer countries but I’m scratching my head about the amount we have been spending. When we go bankrupt the amount will be $0.
