Reflecting back on this year’s #DODay
It’s always such an honor and privilege to advocate for patients and physicians at the highest level with @AOAforDOs. Grateful for the opportunity and inspired!

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Enormous lies here from your new HHS Secretary

The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and is on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer!

RFK Jr is an anti vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cervical cancer than a vaccine

Horrible, horrible man.

[Andrea C. Love, PhD @dr_andrealove]

Hi, immunologist here.

No, people shouldn’t have a different vaccine schedule based on their race.

RFK Jr doesn’t know basic science concepts and certainly doesn’t understand complex immunology.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Can confirm. Connecticut’s Medicaid payment system has been turned off. Doctors and hospitals cannot get paid. Discussions ongoing about whether services can continue.

Medicaid covers health care for millions of seniors and covers 40% of births in America.

[Jasmine Keith @Jasmine_Keith]

Imagine for a moment that you go in for a simple blood and it comes back with an early detection of cancer. Now imagine United Healthcare says “if you refuse this mRNA vaccine to preemptively prevent/treat your cancer, we will deny any future treatment for that cancer.” Because it feels like that’s where we’re heading

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Some actions to oppose Trump’s NIH freezes:

➡️ Contact your electeds and urge them speak up

➡️ Demand your electeds oppose the nominations of RFK as HHS head and Bhattacharya as NIH head

➡️ Sign a group letter opposing the nominations

➡️ Stage a protest outside your lab/work

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, & hiring.

NIH is the world’s largest funder of biomedical research. This will halt discovery of lifesaving treatments. Devastating

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

🚨Apparently all NIH Study Sections have been suspended indefinitely.

For those who don’t know, this means there won’t be any review of grants submitted to NIH

Depending on how long this goes on for, this could lead to an interruption in billions in research funding.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

These people have no idea how complicated the immune system is. And they have no understanding of the difficulties facing predictive computational immunology. And they have no understanding of cancer immunology. This is marketing propaganda and hype.

If you haven’t already started connecting the dots between the effort to dismantle public education and the effort to reverse child labor laws, it’s time to start.

[imran khan @nachoavgimran]

This is true, I’ve personally heard from infusion nurses in California that they have already started to save fluids for most high-risk patients only because they are feeling the shortage

[Comrade Ohio @ComradeOhio]

IV fluid shortages are coming soon since capitalism gave 3 companies control and 1 in North Carolina produced 60% of the nation's IV fluid is damaged from Hurricane Helene.

Today in Gaza, the Ministry of Health declared the Gaza Strip a polio epidemic zone. This is beyond devastating news to anyone who cares about public and population health. This also affects neighbouring countries and is a major setback for the global polio eradication program.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Doctor: “All of the disasters I’ve seen combined, 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes. All of that combined doesn’t equal the level of carnage I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza”

Reporter: Is it mostly children?

Doctor: Almost exclusively…

PLEASE, AS TEMPERATURES RISE, REVISIT THE WARNINGS ON YOUR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY OR AS BEST AS YOU CAN.

I cannot stress how vital the work of food kitchens in Khartoum are in saving lives.

This is Juhayna, she arrived in Port Sudan recently coming from Khartoum. She’s showing clear signs of malnutrition, as evidenced by the comparison photo of how she looked like a year ago.

In all honesty, international aid groups have been very ineffective in meeting the needs of civilians in Sudan. There exists an uninterrupted supply line straight into Khartoum state, yet people in Khartoum (the capital) are starving!

Please support the vital work of the Khartoum Aid Kitchen initiative to help feed families by donating and sharing the gofundme 🙏🏻

Earlier today, Netanyahu’s cabinet unanimously voted to shut down Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel.

This, after the Knesset passed a law allowing ‘temporary closure’ of foreign news orgs deemed ‘threats to national security’.

Then, they raided our offices in Jerusalem.

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

Four UCLA student journalists attacked by pro-Israel counterprotesters on campus https://t.co/dICmFQjj6l

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Just watch the first two minutes. You hear tasers going off; students are screaming throughout. They are thrown to the ground, assaulted.

We see the police throw students down the stairs as the cops also push away press.

This video is just 5 minutes of what happened tonight.
