Pres. Trump rejects independent study that reports an estimated 2,975 people died in Puerto Rico in 5 months after Hurricane Maria; provides no evidence to discount study; declares, without evidence, that higher toll is political ploy to make him look bad. https://t.co/a7jdb89XfF

This @urbaninstitute podcast is a great primer on what #EvidenceBased Policymaking is and why it's important -- "Just because a program is intuitive doesn't mean it works." https://t.co/KNgV8amPze

“Discarding studies that used individual health information would amount to excluding the best available science, and make it extremely difficult to administer public health protections, such as the Clean Air Act or the Safe Drinking Water Act.”
