Second Venezuelan Doctor Detained in South Texas by Immigration Agents

This is the second case. Another physician who followed the legal immigration process, who works in the US serving undeserved communities detained by ICE. This is not about removing criminals it's about purging non White immigrants even those doing valuable service!

Very sad yet completely unsurprising to see data censorship of a study showing the positive benefits of the COVID vaccines in preventing hospitalizations. This is anti-science in action and also harmful to public health. I expect better from the NIH/ acting CDC director but alas.

Tired of culture wars, Dr. Jarod Fox wants to oust Doug Bankson in HD 39 More medical professionals should be elected to the Legislature, the Democrat argued.

Tired of culture wars when Floridians just want to be able to afford to live in their state.

Head shot of myself with following text:

Dr Jarod Fox for House District 39. As a physician, it’s critical that my patients can afford the life-saving medicines that my colleagues and I prescribe. With costs out of control, Floridians are often forced to decide between medical care, groceries, and rent. I’m running because District 39 deserves a leader focused on real solutions.

Trump is asking Congress for even more money for war, offset by billions in cuts to domestic and social safety-net programs.

It makes this 1970s anti-war PSA all the more relevant today.

[Press release] Médecins Sans Frontières: Gilead refuses to sell groundbreaking HIV prevention drug to MSF In an open letter, MSF called on Gilead to immediately sell the organization lenacapavir for use in its medical programs worldwide.

Gilead has a drug that could prevent HIV with just 2 injections a year. MSF said "we'll buy it name your price." Gilead said no.
Let that sink in. Pharmacological innovation without access for those who need it does not accomplish its potential.

$1 BILLION a day for a war.
That same $1B could instead could in the US:
- Fund ~40% of the U.S. HIV treatment program
- Feed ~5.6 million people for a month through SNAP
- Equal ~¼ of the entire federal homelessness budget
Every. Single. Day.

Measles outbreaks are costing the U.S. millions of dollars. The true losses can't be counted. As vaccination rates decline, the economic consequences will increase, research suggests.

Maybe the slogan "Measles will make us lose money" is what would finally break through in a society suffering from end stage capitalism.🤷🏽‍♀️
1.5 billion dollars cost annually for every percentage drop in vaccination coverage just might be what does it.

Free HIV drugs save lives. Why one state is restricting access for thousands. An estimated 16,000 HIV and AIDS patients in Florida might lose free medication, health care as the state dramatically rolls back a decades-old program.

Florida is proposing the introduction of new eligibility rules for ADAP which subsidizes HIV treatment. Under the new rules up to 16000 people living with HIV in the state could lose access to life saving medication.
Without ADAP meds cost 3000$-6000$ US/month.

Lipstick on a Pig: Why the Amended Hepatitis B Birth-Dose Trial in Guinea Bissau Remains Ethically Indefensible How Scrutiny and African Leadership Changed the Conversation

Reports said the trial was halted. HHS says it will proceed. The revised protocol remains unethical. Scrutiny must continue until participants are no longer placed in harm’s way. I read the revised protocol and wrote a follow-up.

The full protocol of the study in Guinea Bissau provides no reassurance. If anything is spells out just how insanely unethical the planned study is. The PI who wrote the protocol tried to defend the indefensible by writing to me directly. I responded publicly.

Insidious and dangerous erosion of evidence based guidelines.
Nothing if off limits. The scale of public health destruction we are witnessing will take decades to reverse if at all.

CDC funds controversial hepatitis B vaccine trial in African newborns Scientists question the value of the proposed study, which will investigate a vaccine long known to be efficacious and safe

I am glad to see large media outlets reporting on this. Hopefully it shames the researchers into not continuing with the planned study or at minimum making sure ALL children in the study receive the birth dose of the HepB vaccine.

Massive four-year study finds no increase in deaths linked to COVID-19 mRNA vaccination Data from 30 million French adults suggests COVID-19 vaccines did not lead to higher death rates. Instead, they reduced them.

"A causal link between mRNA vaccination and excess long-term mortality appears highly unlikely."

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

Summary of what happened at Temu ACIP this morning:

As expected, they overturned the 30+ year recommendation for the birth dose of HepB vaccine, which has reduced the incidence of pediatric HepB by 99%.

They provided no credible evidence to support this decision.

ACIP making changes to hepatitis b vaccine recommendations based on nothing more than vibes.

I’m really concerned that certain physician members on ACIP are actually practicing medicine as they must have skipped a great number of days in medical school to make some of the comments they have made.
